I read this before bed yesterday, so I forgot to update but here are my thoughts!

‪Genuinely this is so fricking cute!! ♡

I love how fanfiction is depicted in this and the romance is so cute so far, this whole story is very wholesome so far, the comedy isn't as prominent, but it's still very cute!! Genuinely, this is such an amazing comfort read!

I started reading this yesterday before I went to bed, I remember reading this when it was posted online as a manhua so I'm excited to see if anything changed when it was published. I remember loving this so I'm super excited!! ‪♡

This was everything I needed and more, I can't believe it's over.... I just love this series so much and I would read a million more books about these people and their lives. But this is the perfect ending to this series that I could have never imagined, thank you for writing this genuinely!! ❤︎⁠

So excited to start this!!

A bit sad to say goodbye to the series and all these characters afterwards, but it's also nice to see what happened during that game! I'm curious about what they mentioned in the second epilogue...

I'm gonna listen to the playlist while reading this to get immersed, so far I like the songs she picked!! Also I just made coffee and am gonna curl up with my cat to read!

⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

We got to the end!!!

٩(>ᴗ<)و

this was so good!! It started off with a bang, then got a bit slow, before it got truly amazing!! Genuinely, I'm so happy I continued on with this book, the end was worth every second, Fionn and Rose were an absolute joy, and I wish I never had to leave this found family!!! This series is one of my new favorites and I can't wait to start any series she comes out with!! ❤︎⁠

Epilogue 2 (Blade of Rage):

Oh my god! Oh my god!! Oh my god!! Oh my god!!! Oh my god!!! Oh my god!!!! Oh my god!!!! OH! MY!! GOD!!!

I was wondering about her character and if they were ever going to bring her up again!!! But oh my god, I can't believe it!!

I cannot wait for her story!!! Please tell me we get her story!!!

৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)

End of Epilogue 1:

I wanna give it 5 Stars for that Epilogue alone... I knew I loved this found family and these character but I started genuinely crying at the scene where the brothers hug. I love them so much! And the fact they have been through so much yet continue to be there for one another!!

ಥ﹏ಥ

⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Just Started Epilogue 1 (Maps):

Oh. My. God!!!!! Rowan and Sloane!!!!

Also, I'm really happy that Fionn and Rose talked it over and are doing good!! I love them together and that final chapter nearly made me tear up.

₍₍⚞(˶˃ ꒳ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾

Just Chapter 24 (Battlegrounds: Fionn):

ಥ﹏ಥ

Genuinely I need for all of them to be okay.....

Oh no......

and they were so close to confessing too!!

(╥﹏╥)

It's really good so far, I love Fionn and Rose!! So far, I love the banter between them and how they get one another. I just wish there was more focus on the mystery/thriller aspect like the other books.

I'm enjoying it though and I'm curious where we go from here!

P.S. I love the way Fionn talks about and how he sees Rose ♡

I'm sorry, I feel like there isn't much to say.

The romance is cute but I feel like it is kind of insta-love or insta-care from Theon's side, so there hasn't been much progression. They are still just friends but its obvious they care.

Also the plot isn't very prominent at this point (other than the romance and some backstory being mentioned). It is good, it's just not as fun as the other two so far.

End of Chapter 1:

So far I'm invested

Lmao, the content warnings XD

I'm so excited to continue this series now that I'm coming out of my reading slump!!

Honestly this was perfect!! It truly helped me think back and reflect on things (in a healthy way) that I wanted to avoid.

I don't really know what to rate this since it is a self-help book, in my heart I want to say this a new favorite and I will take everything I heard and use it in my daily life when reflecting. Coming out of a slump is hard, but this book truly helps. So I'd recommend it to anyone. ♡

I'm really excited to start this!!

I guess it's realistic to leave things unresolved with their families, but I kind of wish there was something more, like the parents acknowledged it or something... idk.

Also it was fun, I just felt like something was missing.

I will say, I LOVED the epilogue, it was really sweet and the callbacks were cute! ♡

Just finished Chapter 21:

HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIX THIS IN ONE CHAPTER AND AN EPILOGUE?!?!

To be honest, I get why she's unwilling to hear him out after hearing what he said behind her back, I thought that was messed up. Also I get why he is hurt by feeling like she doesn't truly get him after all this time. I feel like they both need to be honest and communicate. Honestly, we just need more time for everything left

End of Chapter 15:

I just know this is gonna go wrong somehow and backfire... I understand why he thinks it's for the best, but what if they hit it off or they don't and she ends up not wanting to even text him again?

Also what if she spills her guts to him or talks about stuff that they have talked about in text? This could go wrong in so many ways...

Also I don't really like her mom, she is too negative with her

End of Chapter 13:

Honestly I like it so far, it's refreshing not knowing where this might go. The characters are really interesting, I hope we delve deeper into their family dynamics!

I'm scared because I know her work thing is gonna backfire at some point, but the banter between all the characters is funny/comforting.

Also I like these two together, they are opposites that bicker but they're also supportive too!

I'm so excited to start this!!

I love books that have the "wrong number" to friends to lovers trope meanwhile they are enemies/rivals when they aren't messaging! I've heard this is a fun quick rom-com, so I can't wait to see what might happen!!

Final Thoughts:

⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

This was so amazing!!!

I love the Epilogue so much, especially the way they introduce the next book in the series! I genuinely can't wait for the next book and I'm in between a 4 and 5 Star rating!!

I love Lowe and Misery together so much (& as characters)! I especially love how they communicated in the final chapters! And the fantasy/mystery aspect was so well done, in my opinion!! ♡

I love Serena and Misery's friendship!! ♡

Also I'm not sure how I feel on Lowe, I realize why he told her otherwise, but I hope he communicates his feelings more before the book ends.

End of Chapter 25:

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, I KNEW IT!!!! ( ˶°ㅁ°)!!

SPOILERS:
I nearly doubted it was actually Mick, I thought maybe I was digging too much into it, but oh my god! It's actually him!!!

I hope Misery will be okay, I wonder where they are taking her and if he had something to do with Serena's disappearance as well? Maybe a stretch..?

Also I hope we get Lowe's POV for a full chapter sometime in the future

Damn.

I just finished Chapter 25 and...... wow.

I could feel a third-act break up / misunderstanding coming but wow....

1. I can't believe he would use that against her
2. I hate that this started so comfy and cute, they even had their first time!! Only for it to end this way.....
3. Honestly Misery deserves better than this
4. I don't even wanna see what his POV contains AT ALL
5. Love her, I do hope they make up

Really really cute how Lowe and Misery act with one another!! They feel so comforting like an old married couple and yet it's nice how they are still figuring it out.



Also Spoilers for Chapter 25:
I knew it!! I knew Gabbie wasn't his mate, it's clear from the way others acted when Misery talked or mentioned Gabbie.

Also I'm a little concerned that a third-act break up or misunderstanding might happen soon......

Chapter 20:

Aww they are so cute!! And I love the mystery aspect! ♡

I love the found family between them, the way Lowe and Misery care for one another is one of the cutest things I've seen in a while!!

I hope we find out what happened to Serena! Based on the fact the second book is about her I am hoping that she is okay, but idk.

Also why is Mick acting so weird? I know he cares but still..... a bit strange, idk?

(O_O)!

So excited to start this!!

I haven't read any Emily Henry books yet, so this will be my first, but my sister really likes her and was even the one to get me this for Christmas last year!

Planning on reading this because it's been snowing this past two weeks and I miss the sunshine (plus I'm hoping this will help me out of a reading slump) so I hope that I like this!!

So far I like the characters and the beginning!
