I love Zara but geez I don't understand why she's still believing anything the Empress says. We live in such doubt and insecurity sometimes that it's painful to listen to from the outside.

I already love this book! It started with the Author's note but each moment since get a nittery

This is my least fav out of the series! Allison is completely oblivious, annoying and dulu! She's had a man act like her boyfriend but they call each other "best friends" for YEARS and gets mad at him for his efforts to see him as more w/help. She's annoyingly stubborn and pushes Luke away tirelessly throughout the entire book. I was tempted to not finish this when she tried to push him away AGAIN at the end.

This is turning into an addiction and I'm not sure yet why...

Just tell him already and be with him...😠

I was warned this is different than the play and movie...so far it is ...weird.

Nope this hasn't helped with my book slump either..

Struggling to get through this book and tempted to not finish.

I'm pretty certain I know how the rest of this will go but I'd love to be wrong and get caught by a great twist. We shall see.

Glad I'm reading the graphic audio the multiple voices is helpful. The constant background music makes me feel like I'm listening to a movie. Waiting for the next shoe to drop though...

First unexpected hit @ 19%! There was SO much to unpacked in the first few pages. You are immediately slammed with so much world building in the first few pages I felt the need to pause a few times, had the urge to write it out and connect dots.

Rereading in honor of the new season next month

IDK yet. It's not better it's not worse though I thought I'd like this a little more but I'm finding Emma naive and annoying yet again.

Put off reading this for a bit and before I knew it I was over an hour in! How did it hook me not sure but I'll keep reading.

I like this far better the second time around...

This book found me. Those dang IG book ads but I'm not mad about it. Not my normal romance genre but here for it. Quick read.

Re-reading in prep for my first Book Club party this weekend! Started with part 1 of the dramatized version which was FANTASTIC - only to be disappointed part 2 won’t be released until 2/9 🤬 Regardless, I’m hooked all over again!

My fellow speed reader recommended this, and tbh, when was the last time anyone read about a cowboy? Cue in the country men. Oh, and this is book 1 of 4! Let's see if we can get passes the Hallmark movie-like town of Chestnut Springs first.

I forgot this was a series and am so happy to have two more books to ready!

Well the cover pretty much tells you exactly what's going to happen...sooooo

Chapter 1 surprised me by how quickly we moved...then it was slow moving for me...but chapter 30 hooked me so here we are 🙃
