Loved! Could not guess the ending - super fun and well written!

An amazing book, full of risks and the enemy, who is supposedly always ahead. Ogres, Elves, Trolls, and more, with the human world included, this is a great book that you should totally read! It is also a thicker book, with about 730 pages.

Lucy Barton tells us all about her ex-husband’s life, including the collapse of William’s third marriage, the anxiety of having a father who was a Nazi POW, and his discovery that he has an older half sister in Maine. Of course readers also learn more about Lucy and her past and current relationships with William. Great beach-read for fans of Strout’s other books.

This is such a good book, especially for people that like people having powers and the good people not winning all the time. Although they are technically in the lead, Sophie and her friends don't think so. Sophie is the main character, and she has SO MUCH friends who care for her. Then one of her friends - Keefe - leaves for the Forbidden Cities and his mom (a bad character) is trying to do an experiment on him called Stellarlune, so Sophie and her friends try searching for a power source called Elysian, and at the end of the book, they find out who/what Elysian is, and it is a humongous cliff hanger!

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.

hilarious as usual

I just started and it already so good (and emotional )

Loved this book, was so obsessed I had to read the rest of Miller’s collection!

Quite a bit is written from the perspective of someone who is a well-known musician & doesn't apply to normal jobs & lifestyles.

I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum but this was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. It had no meaning. The whole book was just this girl hurting her brother, being mean and being yelled at. There is no resolution and the things the kids do are really dangerous. Still, I bet some people enjoy this book
