You know my only Arthurian knowledge came from Merlin the show when I was confused why tf Arthur Pendragon's supposed boyfriend was Lancelot and not Merlin lmao I feel like i would have liked this book even more if the characters' flaws weren't so pronounced, like they all make sense and they're all good flaws but it was sometimes frustratingly obvious these were baby adults lol but!! Honestly enjoyed the gradual swell of both platonic and romantic feelings in all the relationships, would've loved more group hijinks!! Also the Hurt was good I cried 10/10 hurt would've loved a glimpse of suicidal ideation sprinkled somewhere but still good

Something quick, cute, and wholesome! Perfect for something light and you don't have much time at the library and you just need a pair of childhood cuties to just get together already.

I, too, like the rest of Baltimore fell in love with Lucie. This book made me believe in love again, but also made me believe there's no way an actual man like Aiden can exist in real life. A fictional man among all fictional men. An impossibility. An improbable dream.

To me, everything in this book felt inevitable. Not predictable, but inevitable. The meet-again, the challenge, the falling in love, the heartbreaks, the books, the confrontations, the complicated grief. Inevitable in the way that their Fridays and Saturdays intertwined their lives together, but also inevitable in the way I had to brace myself for the complicated emotions and reactions of the human heart. I knew where we were going, and this book told me and didn't beat around the bush with it either, and I appreciated that. Perhaps the only thing that I was holding on to was the absurd possibility that January was wrong, that everything with her Dad was a dragged-out misunderstanding. I knew it would've been a cop-out, but the reality of it still weighs in my heart. I didn't want it to be the truth, no matter how much they were telling me it was.

The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because I wanted more groveling, but I know that's purely my own preference. This is my second Page Powers book so I knew to expect the kind of unserious types of humour and references in the book. In the most complimenting way, this book made me cringe and scream more times than I honestly expected. It's like watching a romcom cartoon trainwreck into the funniest tropes and scenes possible. It was very enjoyable, in the most "oh god never a unique experience with these undeveloped frontal lobes". I appreciated the tropes being upfront and Right There, and even if they were overused, they didn't make me wanna tear my hair out. All that to say, absolutely fantastic. I needed more groveling but truly a wonderful light read.
