I was somewhere around 55% when I just couldn't do it anymore. The "but we're friends! We can't be lovers!" thing was such an annoying roadblock for Stella to get caught up on. It was like the only thought going through her head was "Luca and I are friends, so I can't never date him because that'd be soooo weird!" meanwhile the whole. entire. town. sees them holding hands because they're fake dating for the phone cameras and says "HOLY FUCK, YOU TWO, FINALLY!!" and Stella's still like, "But it'd be weird, right? I can't be into Luca, right?" Girl, shut up! Get in his bed already, my god.

There are two types of "I wish I'd read this book sooner!" reviews. The first is wishing you'd read a book when you'd needed it the most. The second is wishing you'd read the book when you could still enjoy it. This review is the second. I spent the whole audiobook picking out all the details why it's obvious so many loved Howl's Moving Castle. It's literally magical! It narrates the frustrations of growing up and realizing the world isn't as kind or safe as you thought it was. When I boil it down to those themes, I loved it! And yet, I couldn't really get into it. If I'd read it as a teen, I'm sure it would hold a more special place in my heart.

Every genre and trope that this book fits into is SO out of my element but it's SO well-written and I'm loving Dory as a main character and the world building and I just can't put it down!

Okay, I was worried that the "secretly interviewing Peter" part of the synopsis meant that Eli wasn't going to tell Peter about the article he's writing, but it's just that Eli's not telling his boss that he's writing a different article than what was assigned. Phew!
