3.75 stars rounded up. In the world of Ali Hazelwood, this book was somewhat lower tier and forgettable, but it’s still a fun summer read. I liked the setting (Italy), the audiobook’s dual narration (primarily FMC POV w/MMC speaking), the chemistry and general blend of tropes (age gap, brother’s best friend, handsome rich MMC). I felt like there was an attempt to make this a friends-to-lovers romance but it felt more like a second chance turned instalove, which left me conflicted.

I absolutely loved this book! Tied everything together from the original series and the first prequel.

I read other big Nate’s instead of just this one. But I read big Nate to much

Funny. Especially the ghost pepper part!

Taking lessons from American & European history, we find all the obvious lessons & clues to point us to how today in 2025 we have democracy being challenged and a tyrant taking control.

It was a very good book. I liked the characters and I recommend buying it.

Super good and really good for birdwatching.

Cannot finish it. Too heavy and depressing.

A beautiful book- After finishing, I recommended to my best friend who read it and loved it as well. Matt Haig can take something outlandishly fantastical and weave it into a storyline so believable and inspiring that you start look look for glimpses of that similar magic in your everyday life. A true delight!

It was good ??
