    It's an enjoyable read and better written than I had anticipated. It's not groundbreaking though, it's the same typical and predictable tropes with the same flawless and cute characters with little depth. It's a good comfort book with a happy ending.

    This novel is a whirlwind. I'm not sure I understood every detail and I'll definitely be re-reading it later to piece everything out better. There's so much going on I feel like this should have been a collection of short stories, or maybe a novel series. The sense of place is fantastic, the characters are great, and you're constantly kept on your toes about what's happening and why. The taste of this novel is so unique it's hard to describe. I whole-heartedly recommend.

  • A trope that you cannot stand

    What are the tropes that you have come across and it ruined your whole reading experience of the book? Or gave you an ick? Or you just really judged the author?

    For me, it had always been cheating. I find that in fiction, you can build your own perfect or imperfect world, you create your own rules and your own people. You set the story on your own, you are the one who decides the fate and destinies of your character. How do you willingly put two people destined to be together who are each other's "true" loves and make them cheat whether on the main love interest or side character? I can excuse it when a mc cheats on their partner if they are shittiest person in the world, but some of these authors write such great partners of the mcs and make them cheat on them. And we are supposed to root for the new couple that got together through infidelity?
