  • Editing/adding reviews?

    I’m new to this site and have only been on this a few days, can someone tell me how to add a review? I did a star rating and planned to go back in later with words, but I can’t figure out how to. Is it possible to add/edit reviews or once you put in the stars can you not?

    I wish I was able to write this in a slightly more eloquent way, but goddamn I love this book!

    2.25 stars Unfortunately, this book was not for me. I was drawn to this book because it said it was about two boys who fall in love no matter which life they find each other in, but what I read instead was two boys who fuck no matter what life they find each other in. I did not like this book very much because of the amount of lust and how we were supposed to believe the main characters’ connection spanned centuries when their relationship was 90% sex. I also had qualms with how the characters were supposed to be reincarnated, except their personalities didn’t have enough similarities. The only continuity was the cycle of their relationship. The biggest redeeming quality of this book was the setting. I loved reading a book where queer people dominated the world, both in modern times and historical. Although this book was not for me, if you don’t mind insta-lust, you might love this! This has such a great premise, and the setting of the book was wonderful. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/ MIRA for the ARC!
