La storia di Gibsie e Claire mi è piaciuta davvero tanto. Loro sono dolcissimi, il loro rapporto è divertente come ci aspettavamo, ma c’è anche una profondità e un senso di sicurezza che si trasmettono a vicenda davvero invidiabile. No 4.25 stelle!

La storia di Gibsie e Claire mi è piaciuta davvero tanto. Loro sono dolcissimi, il loro rapporto è divertente come ci aspettavamo, ma c’è anche una profondità e un senso di sicurezza che si trasmettono a vicenda davvero invidiabile. Non c’è Claire senza Gerard e non c’è Gerard senza Claire.

Mi ero spoilerata l’anno scorso il grande colpo di scena del libro e se da una parte mi dispiace non sapere come avrei reagito a scoprire la cosa di prima mano, dall’altra sono stata contenta di sapere già questa parte della storia perché fin dall’inizio riesci a capire il significato di certe frasi e gesti, che altrimenti avrebbero avuto un’altra interpretazione.

Questo è un primo libro della loro storia, finisce nel momento in cui avviene la svolta nel loro arco narrativo e non vediamo come affrontano la vita sia singolarmente che in coppia dopo questo evento.
Lo paragonerei a Binding e Saving, piuttosto che Keeping e Redeeming. So che quando è uscito era stato annunciato come unico romanzo su G&C, ma se l’avessi letto l’anno scorso sarei stata una negazionista. Per me è chiaro come sia stato pensato come primo libro di due e come gli ultimi capitoli siano stati aggiunti solo per accontentare la CE e per cercare di chiudere la loro storia.

Credo che il passaggio a CE si percepisca oltre al minor numero di pagine a come l’autrice si sia un po’ trattenuta su certi argomenti. Penso che in self ci avrebbe dato più momenti che ci avrebbero distrutto, ma visto che la CE US vuole vendere la serie come YA (che scelta del c.) alcune scene sono state rese al minimo. Inoltre mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere anche più flashback del loro rapporto di quando erano più piccoli. Erano necessarie alla storia? No, ma c'erano veramente tanti momenti che vengono accennati che sarebbe stato bello poter osservare in prima persona.

Ho trovato il libro anche un pelino meno scorrevole degli altri, ma questo penso che sia più una cosa mia per il periodo sul filo della reading slump che sto vivendo.

Taming è un romanzo con una storia d’amore molto dolce, dei momenti divertenti e scene che vi faranno venire voglia di tirare il libro contro il muro e fissare il soffitto dai 5 ai 45 minuti.
È anche l’inizio del secondo atto della Boys of Tommen, dove andiamo ad approfondire i personaggi di Gibsie, Claire, Hughie, Lizzie e Feely. ...more "

I really 4 stelle!

English review, first read:

Elle Kennedy is back and with a book that made me feel everything. Love Song is the perfect mix of funny, romantic, and even sad moments. Plus, it is full of drama, something I love with all my heart.

I really enjoyed Blake’s character; she is like a breath of fresh air and the perfect blend of Grace and Logan. I see myself in her, and I totally understand her worry about not being great at anything, but simply average. Her journey toward acceptance is wonderful, and I love how she doesn’t change herself or find the thing that she is better than anyone, but she just accepted who she is with all her amazing average qualities.

For Wyatt, on the other hand, I have mixed feelings. At the beginning of the book, he has so much anger for the fact that he’s not where he wants to be in his career that he’s not the most pleasant person to be around. Let’s just say that he’s totally Garrett in The Legacy, and that is not our favorite Garrett. But while we’ve had the chance to meet Garrett before that, so we already loved him and understood him, this is the first real time that we meet Wyatt, and he is an asshole (sorrynotsorry). As the story progresses, he begins to open up about his feelings, and I appreciate him more, especially with Blake. But in the last part of the book, there are some things that I was not a big fan of. I can understand what Elle was doing, but I think she could have shown them differently. Some of his thoughts just didn’t resonate with me and made me not appreciate him completely.

Their relationship was a rollercoaster. For me, the start was more about the sexual attraction between the two, and I didn’t really understand why they felt anything more. But as the story progressed, fortunately, their relationship deepened. They began to open up to each other, and this gave us a lot of tender moments that made me remember why I love Elle’s writing so much. Don’t worry, there are also some sexy times, but I always appreciate more the cute interactions.

If you love the drama, then be ready because this one is amazing. I screamed several times. Between the dad group chat, the tension between Wyatt and Logan, and the other children’s drama, you will find yourself on the edge of your seat for more than half of the book.
I loved seeing the Off Campus characters on the page again. All their interactions and Easter eggs were fantastic and made me really emotional.
And could Elle have even started some plot threads that will be the basis for a new series? Who knows… but Elle, I will buy these books right now because I need to know what will happen.

While the beginning was good, the middle is where the book really shines and made me fall in love with the characters while also breaking my heart with some very difficult scenes that demonstrate Elle’s talent as a writer. But then, towards the end, my interest waned. Actually, I did not appreciate some of the choices for Wyatt’s thoughts, and in other moments, I felt some of the reactions weren’t entirely accurate based on what we know about the characters.

Love Song is a book that enchanted me. At a time when I couldn’t find the interest in reading, it kept me up until 5 a.m. because I couldn’t let go of these characters, and I needed to know what would happen to them. The summer vibes mix with those of The Mistake; in fact, there are some moments where Blake and Wyatt made me think of Logan and Grace, and I loved it.
It was definitely worth the wait. ...more "

Camilla (thecrazyreader)’s Quotes

“Isabelle rolled her eyes. "Oh, for the Angel's sake. Look, if there's no other way of getting out of this, I'll kiss Simon. I've done it before, it wasn't that bad."
"Thanks," said Simon. "That's very flattering."
"Well, I'm not kissing the mundane," said Jace. "I'd rather stay down here and rot."
"Forever?" said Simon. "Forever's an awfully long time."
Jace raised his eyebrows. "I knew it," he said. "You want to kiss me, don't you?"
Simon threw up his hands in exasperation. "Of course not. But if—"
"I guess it's true what they say," observed Jace. "There are no straight men in the trenches."
"That's atheists, jackass," said Simon furiously. "There are no atheists in the trenches.”

“Isabelle snorted, "All the boys are gay. In this truck, anyway. Well, not you, Simon."
"You noticed," said Simon.
"I think of myself as a freewheeling bisexual," added Magnus.
