This lovely snack of a book had the right mix of fun, flirting and characters you can love immediately. Riku's impulsiveness and his inner monolog were so much fun and Kyungmin with his broody serious side meshed so well.
This book was perfect for the rainy evening I spent reading it and Mao Mao the cat is my new best friend.
1. kyungmins coldness is kinda forced. how he’s so dark and aloof 😭 very fucking stereotypical i fear
2. there’s no fucking way 😂 THIS AUTHOR LITERALLY TOOK SO MUCH INSPO FROM WATTPAD IM CRINE. STOP THISIS EXACTLY HOW THE C.AI BOTS ARE HAHAHA
“And then — Kyungmin moves. Fast. Honestly, I’ve seen him dance, but I was not prepared for his speed or his strength. His hand snaps out, fingers closing around my wrist with sharp, precise intent. Not painful. Not cruel.”
“I tilt my head, a lazy, infuriating smirk tugging at my lips. “Make me.” And that’s all it takes. Kyungmin leans in, closing the distance in one swift, decisive motion.” — could she have not been more discreet? 😂
“This changes nothing,” Kyungmin mutters, his voice rough, completely wrecked in a way that makes me want to laugh, with a frigid edge to it.” — sure buddy 😅
3. i’m sorry bro this is so scripted. idk how to explain it but it’s so .. fake
“A man of few words, he selects them deliberately, never wasting breath on anything unnecessary. When he speaks, it’s unfiltered wisdom or a dry, brutal observation that makes the rest of us rethink our entire existence.” — cue my big fat scoff please. timmy tough knuckles over here 🥹
“They’re testing me, waiting for me to slip. I force a breath, straighten my spine, and give them nothing.” — OH YEAH SO FUCKING TOUGH MAN
“I say smoothly, adjusting the cuffs of my sweater. Even. Measured. Composed.” — i fucking HATE when they do this 😭 it’s like they want us to have a dramatic pause between every word. eVeN… GASP MEASURED…. com.. COMPOSED!
5. crazy long description for the most unimportant things ever😭 why is there such a long description for fucking bibimbap and page long description for the members we don’t gaf bout please
6. no i fucking promise you this is from character ai (don’t ask why i know about this). “I’m here,” I whispered, my voice gravelly. “I’m not going anywhere.” His eyes bore into mine, filled with darkness and desperation. “Prove it,” he pleaded, his voice raw. Without hesitation,”
So I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this book, because I am A. A massive K-pop multi-stand and B. A massive BL lover. So merging these two together is my greatest pleasure. I loved the way the book was written, I love how the ice princess was that unshakable perfection that we see among idols and the controlled chaos of the illustrator. The last chapter that was a different point of view? No spoilers, was hysterical! I am hoping we get a book for each of the members, looking forward to more!
