I didn’t have high expectations going into this book since the premise looked quite simple. But then, Water turned out to be such a fun read. Honestly felt like watching a good old classic romance from the 90s-2000s.
Chapter 9 is prolly my favorite part. This is where I also fell for P’Apo.
And I’m just going to say it: reading a queer romance where the main leads aren’t creepy, manipulative, walking red flags feels like therapy for my gay heart (traumatized by straight romance I’ve seen or read in the past).
Based on the description you might assume this is an enemies to lovers story, but it's really an idiots to lovers story. But also the communication is A+, none of that heartbreak because one person just can't explain something nonsense. So, idiots with good communication skills, I guess? Translation is still definitely a bit rough in spots, but somehow this one seemed to flow a little better except for the bonus chapters. Those were really rough. It seemed like 1st person and 3rd person were both being used at random and the names/pronouns issue was back with a vengeance.
The book was a really easy read. Nothing truly deep going on but it was still interesting at all times for me. The plot twist was a good addition. I really like that we see the cousins more in this book than the previous one. Overall it was a good read uhmm but I still feel like it reads more like a fanfiction than a serious book which is not bad as I say it was an easy read. However depending on how you wish to compare it to other books is when ranking it becomes tricky. I liked it more than the previous one. I would give it like a 3.8-4⭐️? Something like that.. not sure completely I will keep think about it
I read it obviously because the series is coming up soon. I believe the casting were excellent choices. Specially Charlotte as Lada. I can totally see her portraying that character. It was fun to read and imagine the actresses playing their roles.
Si alguna vez tuviera una relación, sabía que sería razonable y comprensiva. Tal vez esta actitud se debía a que había crecido en una familia en la que recibía menos atención que sus hermanos. Había aprendido a ser independiente ya vivir bien por sí sola, sin necesitar constantemente la validación o el amor de los demás.
La forma en que su relación creció en solo en 100 páginas me encantó. Es tan hermoso ver como Apo con una sola semana de estar saliendo con ella, ya andaba preparando el anillo. Bien sabia lo que quería. Necesito que ya empiecen las grabaciones de esto por favor!!!!
Me gustó... Este libro es literalmente el título saber si esas aguas serán amables o te arrastraran al océano profundo. En serio ví a Charlotte y Engfa en toda la historia son ellas.
a tradução foi melhor dessa vez, menos confusa, ainda não tá 100%, mas de novo, se eu quisesse 100% autêntico, eu deveria aprender tailandês, então não vou reclamar muito
Mi 2do libro de la saga, al final Apo se dejó atrapar por el amor de Lada, quien terminó cayendo en su propia trampa 🫢, pero dentro de todo fue sincero el amor que surgió entre ellas.
THE SEA PHRASES MADE BY APO TO REFER TO LADA WERE JUST LOVELY OMG.
I'm grateful that the drama wasn't focus on homophobia. And also I was expecting a little bit of more rivalry, however the drama the book already had was enough. I love Chonlada and Apo so much, they were so beautiful. 💗
