luna ☾ (lunargoddessera) I read it alone for the first time, then I think I joined in on the buddyread because I missed them and now I still miss them so I might reread again 😅 I miss Reid, what a cinnamon roll

I don't even know if I have my copy is in so I can reread it😂 I've missed all of them too. I even miss the song that makes people mad😂


Laura ☾ | 1102 comments Hahaha fair enough! I’m having trouble deciding which of the summer days prompts this would fit though?

Oof, I didn't think of that... I had a look and I'm not sure how old the characters are but if they happen to be over twenty, that was the only prompt I could think of... Unless you have access to the audiobook?

I don’t have it as audio 😔 but I’ll see if I can try to get a hold of it. Coco and Lou are 18/19 but I think Reid is a little older so maybe ?

The audiobook is very good!


Laura ☾ | 1102 comments Right I'm off to find the audiobook! Haha


luna ☾ (lunargoddessera) Meanwhile, the audiobook is no longer in Scribd 😭 Now I'm sad that I can't join in

Oh no!!!! I got mine through my library on Libby, so maybe you can look there.


Laura ☾ | 1102 comments So is anyone else reading this at the moment?

I'm on Part 2 Chapter 3

I'm slightly sad that they didn't actually sing *that song* on the audio - more read it like a poem haha


Elysian (haeliks) | 255 comments Hey, I decided to join after I found that I have Serpent& Dove on my shelf, but I forgot that I owned it.

I will be a bit behind, but I try to catch up asap!

As long as you finish by the end of June you can go at your own pace, just be mindful of spoiling others and yourself!


Elysian (haeliks) | 255 comments I am like just very slightly in the book, but does anyone else have the feeling that there is A LOT of french in this book?

I felt the same at first but I promise it calms down after a few chapters!


Laura ☾ | 1102 comments So I finished my re-read and I still loved this! Cannot wait for the sequel! I'll wait for you guys to catch up to discuss further!

I've read the whole book and I agree, it's really good! I don't know about you but I felt like it was a little long.

Really? I didn't feel it was long at all - I kind of wanted more!

Marilou Paru | 88 comments I wanted to read this since I got the audiobook from audiobooksync but I never seem to have any time for it. Though I think I might need to make some time, judging from all the enthusiasm in this chat


Elysian (haeliks) | 255 comments Sooo. I am very much behind, but I wanna say that I finished part 1 today. I was close to dnfing the book, but I am so glad I did not now! It is so hilarious how Lou and Reid constantly fight and how annoyed they are of each other. I actually have a lot of fun reading this now!

Oh it gets better and better! I was unconvinced at the very beginning and ended up loving it in the end!

I hope that it will be like that for me too!
The first 70 pages I was just soo bored and it took me so long to get there, because after one chapter I was already tired of reading it and focused on another book instead. But now I am so hooked I can barely focus on the other books I am reading rn!

I'm hopefully going to start my reread tomorrow!


Elysian (haeliks) | 255 comments I finally finished the book and posted a review on it.

It was a wild ride and I will for sure read the second book in this series!
