a thoroughly enjoyable read even if it's not the type of book i usually go for. so excited that this book will (most likely) also get the adaptation treatment - but also oh boy we're all going to be emotionally devastated by Connor Storrie acting out ilya's depression, aren't we?
also, ilya rozanov you'll always have a place in my heart. my favourite bisexual menace yearnator 30001.
agree with reviews calling out the not-really-addressed plotline of ilya's mental health. shane didn't really contend with it and i would have liked to see how it impacts ilya's career and their relationship. also would have liked to understand more of their reaction to being outed. i feel like we went from the outing to HEA a tad too quickly.

I was reflecting that I’ve read a lot more books than usual this year - almost double my usual amount! When I thought about why, I realised it’s mostly because my library took away the charge for ordering in books they don’t have in stock. So I have a constant stack of reserves and it makes me so happy! 🧚
I then had such a nice thought of all you lovely Pagebound folks tootling off to your respective libraries / browsing the charity shops / racking up a huge pile of TBRs from your fave book shop / scrolling your e-reader for new treasure. It made me want to know where you get your books from! What’s your routine, what about it brings you joy? ✨

was this the best book i read all year? no. did i thoroughly enjoy and devour it. yes. was the writing stilted and awkward at times. for sure. will i read the sequel? you bet. did i unlock possibly an all-time fave fictional character? yes, you can pry ilya rozanov away from my cold and dead hands, and not a minute earlier.
