Everytime i read the word dupatta, my heart just melts

alizeh was the one thing i liked about this series and even she is beyond annoying now

I dont remember the writing style being this annoying

I don't necessarily know if angry, self-deprecating protagonists are my vibe.

Billy❤️

She really delivered another pip/ravi level ship. I didnt even think that was possible.

wtf sophia

Ash is easily the best part of this entire book

DNF - the 'banter' feels strange and manufactured.

The mention of ‘Everywhere,Everything’ significantly improved my opinion of this.

Bel is lowkey insufferable

The dialogue feels so clunky

BALCONY SCENE!!!

The multiple POVs are really not working for me. I don't think any of these people, aside from our main couple, are fleshed out enough to warrant a POV. And it feels strange that you would get a scene from the perspective of one person and then the next chapter is from someone else's POV, but they are quickly running you through their thoughts on what just happened last chapter. It just feels messy and repetitive.

I can already tell 15-year-old me would've eaten this up.

I wish we got a little bit more of what Imani's typical day looked like before her entire world was turned upside down.

Is Feng a ghost? Is Feng the young version of her mom?

That projector scene was so cute!

We better not have a cheating situation on our hands

Gat deserves so much better than this.

For a series that was so plot-heavy, suddenly it feels like nothing is happening.

It feels weirdly fanfic-y?

I wish we could've just stuck to Evageline's POV. Also, it may just be the current situation our MC is in, but the writing feels like it's suddenly lost all its magic and whimsy.

speak of a SLOW burn

She knows how to write insanely engaging plots like no other

The vibes here are truly immaculate

I am already liking this better than caraval. It has a more fairy tale like quality

It's too many POVs at this point, and most of them feel so similar to one another that it makes them all feel like the same person.

I do love some found family shenanigans and oldest daughter appreciation
