Ch 31

(view spoiler)[ok so i actually ship the two of them now 😭😭😭, their "friendly" (that soon will definitely not be friendly anymore) is so cuteeeee (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

Chapter 33

(view spoiler)[Wait huh?????? She doesn't hang around with her friends anymore because she cant face the two of them dating and she can't face the fact that they will probably break up soon? Without even any undeniable facts and evidence that they will break up? Gurl what friendship is that 😭😭😭😭😭 (hide spoiler)]

Yep shes like very asshole much? But now i think shes being a bit better and having a good character development

[Gohnar23]

Ch 39:

(view spoiler)[Tango is Sexist. ✊✊✊😓. Great claim everyone 💯💯💯 (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

Ch 45:

(view spoiler)[No matter how good the relationship between X & Evie might get. The relationship of Maggie and Archibald is still unbeaten, X & Evie does get a little bit more interesting now but Maggie and Archibald are just the best ones in the entirety of this book. (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

Ch 54:

(view spoiler)[she has this ongoing obsession with her boyfriend dying, its killing me 😭😭😭😭😭 (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

Ch 59:

(view spoiler)[cheesy chapter + "im afraid to lose you" = yo typical ya ending for a romance book cuz she went from the wedding going all the way to X's address just to be with him (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

Finished:

(view spoiler)[whew this was.....SHORT but still it's very memorable and i loved all of the characters. It may be a simple romance book even parodying itself on sometimes but it doesn't get rid of the fun aspect that is just the thing for a YA book. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[It's not friendship. It's her being pouty and unreasonable. She doesn't believe in love so she's projecting and it's going to ruin her friendships (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 45: (view spoiler)[So I'm glad that Archibald and Maggie's vision ended with them together, but I have to wonder, who was in the coffin? Was it X? (hide spoiler)]

Started & finished this one in one sitting !!

Much better than the previous book (the sun is also a star) by the author

(view spoiler)[ honestly I didn’t read the synopsis prior either but I was liking the elements of magic! It was a nice twist although it’s a bit weird how the dancing is what it revolves around.

Imagine having that power to see if a couple is going to last.. uhh no thanks (hide spoiler)]

Jenn wrote: "Chapter 29: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ she’s very “negative nancy” throughout the book. I can get how cheating can make you hate your dad but the entire love aspect. No one is allowed to be in love? A bit much. Who is she to stop them (hide spoiler)]

HAHAHA yes yes (view spoiler)[ i thought the same thing, like what… they’re your friends?? Shouldn’t you just support them?? Wtf a bit dramatic (hide spoiler)]

Yeahh same, no thanks. Would rather experience the real life and predictability, it's more thrilling

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ i hate that i was right about X dying. That part was really sad. And i get the overall point of the story but i felt the execution was off. I spent most of the book super annoyed with Evie and then her growth just happened and i guess it was fine. (hide spoiler)]

[Gohnar23]

Jenn wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"


Same; her character development is very forced and rushed

[Haley]

Jenn wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ definitely feel like her growth happened in the matter of a few chapters, versus gradually. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

@Gohnar23 @Haley Glad I wasn't the only one who felt that lol
