jump cut to me passed out. this book....im literally speechless. top romance of the year i fear. like what can be better than this 😭 the plot was intriguing too, i feel like both aspects were balanced really well since their relationship was pretty much interwoven with the vision stuff. esp with ares' pov... i didnt want to stop reading but i also didn't want the book to end 😭

alsooo the iycsts references >>> ALICE AND HENRYYY. i wish alice was in it a little more but overall 10/10 i love them and henry continues to be the cutest

now the best part...chanel and ares 🤭

⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚chanel⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚ i'll do whatever it takes to prevent the vision from happening. i'll pry his ribs apart if it means forcing my way into his heart. she is literally the definition of an it girl. i loved her so much, shes confident and kind and even though she has extremely expensive taste and is pretty high maintenance she's not a snob. at the start of the book she's like "im never gonna fall in love, ugh." RIGHTTT right. i dont think thats possible when ares yin is involved. watching her opinion on love and self worth change was so sweet, her character development was very slay indeed 😌

⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚ares⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚ he almost laughs. what kind of question is that? there is no universe where he doesnt want her there is no normal way i can talk about ares. my brain genuinely ceases to function and im just like... ... ... ... ... HE IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. every single time he spoke 🤭 every single time he did literally anything 🤭 i would not survive if he just breathed in my general direction. it boils down to he paid attention to her. he bought her a cake she mentioned not being able to eat the first time, he made her food immediately when she was hungry with no complaints, he held her shopping bags and was just happy to be there, he stayed with her at the hospital when she got hurt, he even thought to bring her favorite lip gloss, he genuinely helped her study for her math tests, like...ITS THE LITTLE THINGS. not to mention he is fine ash 😭

i do with the plot with his brother was a little more fleshed out bc i feel like it wrapped up kinda fast and i would have liked to see more of their relationship, but i loved this so much and i hope we get an airington book 3 with his brother next lol

⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚ "you really have an answer for everything, dont you?" "it's a basic requirement for being chanel cao's boyfriend."

AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE EPILOGUE LIKEEEE AHSJDHJDSJD 🤭🤭
