Mhhh. I don't know what to think of this.
It's such a great and fun plot idea, Ashley Poston sure is a good pen... BUT I'm not feeling this.
I'm not caring about the characters and love story right now. 🥲

📚💗

Sometimes, a book can change your life. It’s hard to explain that to someone who doesn’t read, or who has never felt their heart bend so strongly toward a story that it might just snap in two. Some books are a comfort, some a reprieve, others a vacation, a lesson, a heartbreak. I’d met countless stories by the time I read a book that changed my life.

Now this really is relatable.

"There once was a town, and I was so certain that it would feel like home if I ever made it there. There once was a town, and it didn’t exist."

In need of a fun time!
Megan has delivered thus far with laughs, love and excellent spice... I have been looking forward to this trip to Scotland with her 💗

Uhhh 😏 I see we're diving straight into a spicy bite at the very beginning!
It seems it's been a while for me... Cought me off guard ❤️‍🔥

I love this man 💛

“I think men secretly want women just like you,” he growls, leaning even closer. “And the men who don’t are cowards.”

🍂🌻

Cliff might lean too close or ask too many personal questions that catch me off guard, but he knows how to make people feel seen. Sometimes too seen. He’s so different from me. If I’m autumn, he’s spring. He’s all smiles and glowing warmth. His blue eyes are so deep, like the first beautiful clear sky of the season.

I love how easygoing this book is.
It's cute, fun, heartwarming and a little bittersweet... With a small promise of steam ahead!
Just a perfect autumn read 🍂

Ugh, why is the app malfunctioning again?!😡
I can't see any of my updates on my profile page from the phone (aka the only way I use Goodreads 90% of the time)

"Give me two years in a single room with one person, and we’d still be strangers."

Uh, it's either that or knowing even what the stranger doesn't know about himself... No half way.

Jem has such a way with words.. 🤍

“Whatever you are physically,” he said, “male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy—all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. Whatever the color, the shape, the design of the shade that conceals it, the flame inside the lamp remains the same. You are that flame.”

💗

"It’s all right to love someone who doesn’t love you back, as long as they’re worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.”

Ok, listening at night with no book reference is being a bit counteractive with Dracula.
I thought I had played a different book at Mina and Lucy's letters 😆

I'm noticing how little I actually know of the original story. And to think I saw the old movie Nosferatu based on this... Where were all these characters? Have I actually forgotten this much? 😱

Magnus grinned. “Black hair and blue eyes are my favorite combination.”

Reading this bit of Magnus after TMI #4 hits 💘
Thinking of Magnus and Alec 💜💙

This 📚💗

“One must always be careful of books,” said Tessa, “and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.”

This is so sad 😢 I just wanna give Ove a big hug!
I just love this author's writing, I'm here laughing and then feeling sad and then laughing and feeling bad about it because this is actually sad.

Poor Ove 🥺

«If no one in the entire world cared about you, did you really exist at all?» 💔

I see we're going straight for the killing 💔

«He was a man of black and white. And she was color. All the color he had.»

"And where was the world going if people couldn’t even write or brew a pot of coffee?"

Ok, I see Ove is a whole mood. I know I'm gonna love this grumpy man! 🫶🏼

Let's see if I can finish it this time around... ✨

It seems this is where magical realism meets Hallmark... ✨

Not exceptional till this point, but quite enjoyable and fun.

Nice and fun, but at the moment it's not as exciting as I thought...

Uhhh, love these accents 😏🎧

I love the MCs and her friends 💗

I don't always get the humour... But this is cute and heartwarming 🥰

I used Google to choose my next read randomly ✨
This has been waiting on my kindle shelf for so long!

But to want more from the man who had a) broken into my house, b) broken into my car, and c) was actively stalking me had to be the height of stupidity. Only I didn’t feel like an idiot."

Uuhhm. Yes you are sweetie. But it's okay because this is not real and actually a lot of fun 🤣

Whiteout suspension of reality this would be INSANE 🤯

I was worried I would find this too creepy to enjoy but this is just a bit stalkery and exceptionally funny 🤣

Listening to the warnings 😲👀😱☠️
Okay 🤓
