Writing Prompts (108 total)

(🎁 who was your favorite character? Why?) I don't even know, this book was really not one of my favourite, i didn't enjoy reading it at all, due to a lot of reasons, sigh, but I would say Claire, just because she had an attitude and wasn't afraid to stand up for her friends and family, it's pretty admirable not going to lie ! (+9)

(🎁 who was your least favorite character? Why?) Though I disliked Zahra, I hated Rowan, because he only liked Zahra for her looks which also caused him to think and do inappropriate thoughts/ things toward her, and of course, he only realised about the living situation and the payments and salary, employees get when he started banging one of them (as Ananya stated in the link I added in my review). (+9)

(🎁 if you could choose any winter holiday for a novella to be centered around, what would it be? Why?) Christmas. I mean it already gives off the vibes and a major part of it was set in it so even though I don't celebrate it, I think it would suit the vibes of this book, the setting and the overall theme that relates around inventing new things as well ! (+9)

(🎁 what was your favorite quote from the book? Why?) UGGHHHHHH IDKKK I HATED THIS BOOK IM SORRY but ❝𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐞’𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐞, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐨, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫. ❞ i mean yeah it's true, i mean it doesnt last foreverrrrrrrrr but it can theoretically especially i suppose if you really hate somebody. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to build a snowman with? Why?) Ani !! I liked Ani and she was so sweet and her bf was too !! I just like her personality so much and I think she was super sweet !! I just know we'd spend the whole time talking about our favourite crushes. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to shop for for the holiday season? Why?) Hello the sales omg. I would bee-line STRAIGHT for the books section and again, I would do that with ANI YAYYY cuz come on, she would be so supportive, and I would love to recc some for her too !(+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to spend a snowy day inside with? Why?) Ehemmm, Ani againnn. I'm sorry, it's just she was the most tolerable character, her personality is super sweet too, anyway, I'd love to talk all day with her about books and such !! I think it would be a pretty nice day especially since i LOVEEE cozy things ! (+9)

(🎁 what would you change about the book? Why?) Bro, I mean Rowan could have had a conscience, and Zahra a personality that could actually be one, instead of just making her character overly submissive and cheery, I know this is contemporary, but it could have had another plot too i guess, potentially, this book had potential but it just ended up disappointing. (+9)

(🎁 would you gift this book to a friend for the holidays? Why or why not?) The cover was super gorgeous, the playlist and designs in the book too, and to my friend that loves contemporary sure i guess, otherwise probably not, because of the plot and character personalities and such. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to vibe to holiday music with? Why?) I mean I guess claire, she's funny and smart in the witty sense, and i feel like she's draco's sister for some reason, like just a passing thought but anyway i think it would be fun to listen to music with her. I think Zahra used to do that too with her? i'm not sure. (+9)

(🎁 what moment in the book would most likely happen to you? why?) Nothing, thank you very much, i don't want my boss lusting after me, just because of how i look, and realising that him cutting off future and current employee wages that had the potential of resulting in severe health deterioration, life living problems and more, was actually a bad choice, just after getting together with me because i was an employee (hypothetical situation), disgusting.

Writing Prompts:

(🎁 who was your favorite character? Why?) Bro I hated all of themmm, I mean I disliked most of them, so I guess I'll go ahead and say my favourite was Steele ? He was hot, and like the book was saying he was a pianist too, which was cool so sigh OH HIS EYES WERE GRAY AND THAT REMINDED ME OF DRACO !! ok looking back it was disgusting for me to compare my bae draco w ...this abomination(+9)

(🎁 who was your least favorite character? Why?) Without a DOUBT, it was Madison Kate, who insisted on being called all two names and even her last name too, but what can we do about that. anyway she was so dumb, submissive BLIND to the facts right in front of her. Legit the whole time to the boys she was like ohhhh ur going to regret this u stupid boys, how dare u fck w me, and then proceeds to actually let them even though they ruined her life help me. (+9)

(🎁 if you could choose any winter holiday for a novella to be centered around, what would it be? Why?) Okayyy I'll go with halloween? Because like, part of it was centered around then and if the author was REALLYY tryna go for the whole 'scary' theme she should have stayed in that timezone it would have benefitted the characters and plotline much better in my opinion. (+9)

(🎁 what was your favorite quote from the book? Why?) This book makes me cringe but probably: “Knowledge is power, Princess Danvers," he said eventually, his voice rough with some undecipherable emotion, "but ignorance is bliss. You decide for yourself which one you prefer.” It's like true and i thought it was realistic too, and the only tolerable thing said in the entirety of this book but. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to build a snowman with? Why?) Harddddd question ! Maybe Kody, he seems sweet..um i guess ? he cracked a lot of jokes and he seemed like the mysterious type so i mean that's why i would suffer building a snowman w him rather than the other options if im being entirely honesttt. but also i feel like he would let me boss him around so thats a plus toooo. JUST DONT MENTION THE FMC. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to shop for for the holiday season? Why?) Sigh, I guess Kody... ???? NO STEELE !! cuz like i could ask him to buy me books and i guess he would ?? and then i'd get the hell out of there then mysteriously leave him money outside his home (considering he told me where he lives). the point is that i'd get books, and like i'd suffer the day w him then.

(🎁 what character would you most like to spend a snowy day inside with? Why?) UMMMMMMM maybeeeee uhhh steele? again, he's like the chill, musical, uh kinda guy so i mean that coulddd work ? like he would be pretty nice i think, and we could just spend the time chatting and looking at things around the place or smthh idrkk. i would just REALLYYYYYY appreciate if he wouldn't talk abt madison kate cuz that would just piss me off she's such a sorry excuse for a ''strong'' FMC. (+9)

(🎁 what would you change about the book? Why?) the writing. it was cringe, bad, and just sounded like something a 13 year old would write on wattpad. The things the FMC said at times made me CRINGE SO BAD ughhhh but i powered throughhh. she could def work on her writing, the plot and just generally the whole flipping book. (+9)

(🎁 would you gift this book to a friend for the holidays? Why or why not?) Nooooooooo. Unless I really hated them, but like no not even then this was on sale in target so i thought why not, but if it was as full price and i knew what would be in it i wouldnt EVER waste my money on smth like that most definitely. It would just be so useless ykwim ??? and whoever i would even gift it too would want to throw it into a sewer just like i wanted to soooo. NO. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to vibe to holiday music with? Why?) NOBODYYYYYYY. KEEP MY EARBUDS AWAY FROM UR STINKY AHH EARS. ugh. i guess steele ? he's the musical typa guy so i mean he would atleast MAYBE understand my taste but im not rlly sure. again, these characters were so bad and useless, so im just grasping at straws here lmao. (+9)

(🎁 what moment in the book would most likely happen to you? why?) Legit NONE OF IT you couldnt even pay me to go through a single thing that these ugh characters went through. i mean imagine sneaking in to see an illegal fight right then getting chased by a murderer and being ''saved'' by these four random ahh men who took an interest just becuz u were like a damsel in distress and 'hot' and then getting rejected by every uni u got into and getting ur life ruined by these guys all because they framed u. and then finding out they live in ur house !! and that one of them is ur step brother !! AND THEN LUSTING AFTER THEM- (+9)

Writing Prompts:

(🎁 who was your favorite character? Why?) So hard but hermione !! she was so head strong and i can only imagine the pain she went through at having to deal with all that but still, at the end, coming out strong and not losing any of her bravery even in the front immense danger !! the way she helped out, desired the best- OMG I CANT she was my fav, protect her omg. (+9)

(🎁 who was your least favorite character? Why?) Voldemort. For putting my bae's through ALL THAT TORTURE. HELLO ????! like who do you think you are? (hypothetical). But he ruined their lives. and for that i will always be full of rage when i think about him. its disgusting to see how he would treat people like that but not surprising at all too, the things ppl had to resort to- to support HIM?????! how utterly disgusting. (+9)

(🎁 if you could choose any winter holiday for a novella to be centered around, what would it be? Why?) Christmas i think ! again, i don't celebrate it but just, i want my babies to be happy. to be together and to make bright memories AND JUST HAVE A PEACEFUL DAY TO THEMSELVES FOR ONCE MY GOSH. i think it would be so nice for their sanity and since this book is also centered around them both, it would be a nice addition to the book, just in the aftermath ykwim ?? (+9)

(🎁 what was your favorite quote from the book? Why?) I have so so many and this is not my favourite but one of them ! “Everyone who wins say they were good, but they’re the ones who write the history. I haven’t seen anything indicating that it was actually moral superiority that made a difference.” its just so true because not every hero is good. and sometimes you have to make choices that aren't in other people's best interests. that does not mean you're a villain or bad. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to build a snowman with? Why?) Aurore !! She would be just full of life, and i also believe we rant about our crushes to each other because isnt that what besties do ?? she would also have SUCH a nice and fun personality, i truly see us having the potential to be besties if im being honest ! (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to shop for for the holiday season? Why?) OMGGG draco !!!!!!! yessss. because we all know that he would buy hermione stuff that she likes and i would like to think that honour is bestowed upon meeee for just this once (or more). he's just so dreamy ANYWAY the point is im now thinking of the books I would pay (but if he offers then haha SWEEEET omg swoonworthy (as if he isnt already lmao).

(🎁 what character would you most like to spend a snowy day inside with? Why?) HERMIONEEEE queeeeeeen. okay so i would love to spend the snowy day with her because she is THE PERFECT person to spend it with !!! we both would just curl up on teh floor, an dread books, and drink hot cocoa, and just talk non stop about our feelings and crushes, and study together. and it would be such an amazing day between two besties !! (+9)

(🎁 what would you change about the book? Why?) literally nothing !! maybe some more talking about the resolution on what draco did, and how people were affected by certain things in the book, but otherwise i loved it SO MUCH i mean it was really emotionally destroying, im not going to even lie, but it was def worth it, especially if u were in the right mindset for reading it!! (+9)

(🎁 would you gift this book to a friend for the holidays? Why or why not?) YES. OMG. i recently saw this vid on yt abt this friend gifting her friend manacled, but she binded it herself and if i had the patience i would love to do it a well and if i wasnt selfish and being a pure slytherin by wanting to keep this to myself, i WOULD LOVE TO DO IT cuz it was just SO AMAZING EEEEK. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to vibe to holiday music with? Why?) J-A-M-E-S JAMES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay i love his witty cute sense of behaviour and he was so cute in the ministry of magic, and i wouldve loved to be at hogwarts w him, despite the obvious timezone shift but i love him nd ik he'd be the PERFECTTT person to listen to music with omg !! (+9)

(🎁 what moment in the book would most likely happen to you? why?) OMG the way draco loves hermione. i want somebody to treat me like that because he's just so caring with her, the way a person would look at a star, and the way they just fit together so well is truly such a wondrous thing to read about, and one simply can't help but wish to be subjected to that region of happiness <3 (+9)

(+9)

(🎁 what was your favorite quote from the book? Why?) SOOO MANY but “This is the problem with knowledge: its inexhaustible craving. The madness inherent in knowing there is only more to know. It’s a problem of mortality, of seeing the invariable end from the immovable beginning, of determining that the more you try to fix it, the more beginnings there are to discover, the more ways to reach the same unavoidable end.” its just so true and its so beautifully explained too that one can't help but admire the writing, and philosophy behind the words <3 (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to build a snowman with? Why?) nico !! MARRY MEEEE. hes so hot and cute and his personality is just so ADORABLEEEEEEEEE I CAN'T . we would talk non-stop about theories, and just stuff in general, and then i would confess my undying love for him, his eyes would soften then we'd hug, and then walk around the place and just like OMG its too amazing !! (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to shop for for the holiday season? Why?) PARISA THE QUEEN. she's such a girlboss hello??? HELLO???!

(🎁 what character would you most like to spend a snowy day inside with? Why?) omgg hard question but i have to sayyyy maybe callum. i love his callous personality fsr, like i just love him a lot, and our conversations would be so interesting and full of fun, it would be such a nice snowy day inside !! I also think he would offer really good advice to me, as he does throughout the book. (+9)

(🎁 what would you change about the book? Why?) the libby situation. sigh and some characters dying instead of others because ofc obvi i didnt like the ending of the book, but i mean theres not exactly much we can do about that but it wouldve been nice i there was another resolution to the one that we gottt...like one of tristan's scenario's ! (+9)

(🎁 would you gift this book to a friend for the holidays? Why or why not?) yessss, it's full of surprises and twists and turns and i think it would be pretty nice to gift someone this book !! especially if they loved the series like i did, this book series is very special to me, since i read it while i was travelling and stuff, so i think anyone who loves would really like this book <3 (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to vibe to holiday music with? Why?) NICOOOOO. i just have this vision that nico would get up and offer his hand to me and start twirling me around the room where we're listening to music and we would both start dancing around and it would be so sweet AND GUYS HELP ME IM SO GONE FOR NICO. (+9)

(🎁 what moment in the book would most likely happen to you? why?)

Writing Prompts:

(🎁 who was your favorite character? Why?) regulus black FOR SURE !!! he was just so amazing to read about hello ?? before this i really wasn't interested at all to read about teh marauder's era but teh ormat of this fic really changed my mind and i learned to love regulus so much, i also found that we had a lot of stuff in common together <3 (+9)

(🎁 who was your least favorite character? Why?) walburga black. i hate her so goddamn much like can you imagine treating your own CHILDREN and blood that way ???!! i certainly can't. teh things she did... it's disgusting, and the way she treated sirius AND regulus...purely disgusting. its the fact that they couldn't even DO anything about and the way she wasn't even being stopped by her HUSBAND or anyone else that is so so gross. (+9)

(🎁 if you could choose any winter holiday for a novella to be centered around, what would it be? Why?) valentine's day !! BECUZZZZ omggg it's just regulus and marlene WOULD BE SO SWEET TOGETHER IN THIS TIME PERIOD (not that they aren't always OBVI) and then because of the whole vibes, and stuff, i just can't help but imagine, them exchanging gifts with each other. IT WOULD BE SO SWEET !! (+9)

(🎁 what was your favorite quote from the book? Why?) BRO THERE WERE ACTUALLY SO MANY HELP ME but: Give our daughter a strong name. Yes, daughter. I know you wanted to be
surprised, but I'm a Slytherin and have a particular distaste for not knowing things immediately. I worry she will need a strong name. All I ask is that you follow the Black family traditions, and allow her middle name to be called after the stars. Astra, perhaps. It means 'stars' in Latin. I looked over an Astronomy book in hopes for a name that spoke to me, but nothing was good enough, big enough, or important enough for my daughter. No star bright enough. So, name her after all of them.
i just think regulus was SO SO sweet and caring in his letter, and i think that this is such a beautiful insight to his character and personality and truly a wonderful and beautiful quote <3 (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to build a snowman with? Why?) regulus !! he's so sweet and OMGG the way he's good at creating too, and since we're so similar we would spend the time talking and even having an eventual snowball fight, and also his witty humour would have me laughing, i just KNOW. omg marlene is so SO lucky <3 (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to shop for for the holiday season? Why?) MARLENEEEE <3 okay she's SUCH a girlboss HELLOOO ???! okay so she'd help me pick out clothes that are ,just my style and fit my pinterest wardrobe, and that would be so kind, and then i would obvi rec her books that i think she'd like, since she also likes to read, and omg IT WOULD BE AN AMAZING DAY !! <3 (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to spend a snowy day inside with? Why?) REGULUS <333 okay so regulus, again !! he's just i imagine us two wearing coats and walking around in the snow, and holding hands and then also wearing those hats (bonnets ?) and just talking, and laughing like the golden trio in HP #3 <3 he would also be so sweet to talk to, and would MOST DEF offer me advice if i needed it and that's so helpful <3 (+9)

(🎁 what would you change about the book? Why?) the romance between Regulus and Marlene held more of my interest rather than the actual Dramione, which is why I docked a star. It was lackluster in some aspects, but I truly did love their relationship. Draco was so hot in this though. The dramione in this had potential but it didn't quite meet the standards unfortunately. (+9)

(🎁 would you gift this book to a friend for the holidays? Why or why not?) YESSS !! it was really efficient, witty, intelligent and captivating. The writer explored the characters' personalities amazingly, I was blown away. Besides the great writing, the plot had my attention! While the concept and the nurturing of the concept (meaning: the reactions of the others, present and in the continuous future) could have been better, I believe it was a great read regardless. (+9)

(🎁 what character would you most like to vibe to holiday music with? Why?) MARLENEEEEE okay us two, we would be THE PERFECT DUOOO, omg like hey a gryffindor and slytherin YAS. okay so my bestie and I we would walk around the castle exploring each other's music tastes omg, and it would be so fun, and i also have a feeling we have the same music taste !! <3 (+9)

(🎁 what moment in the book would most likely happen to you? why?) I WANT INTEREACTIONS LIKE THE ONES REGGIE AND MARLY HAVEEEE. like they are SO sweet with each other, their CONVERSATIONS HAD ME LAUGHING, im not even joking they were SO CUTEEEE EKEKEKEKEKE. and there was this one scene which has a special place in my heart PURELY because the conversations between them were so SWOONWORTHY (regulus marry me).

Yesss because this gives heavy 'bridge to terebithia' vibes and she loves that book and movie. Its depressing and cute and portrays mental health and how easily adults dismiss children really well and keeps it appropriate for kids. Also its lighthearted and happy-ish at the end and has fairytale elements/a story woven in between chapters too which I loved and my friend loves that too.

writing prompts: (+36)
🎁 who was your favorite character? Why?
my favourite character was probably tyler because he was just so sweet and thoughtful! and his character was so interesting and i won't spoil it but he used to be an entirely different person so it really showed how much people can change and how their environments can affect that.

🎁 what was your favorite quote from the book? Why?
my favourite quotes was "you're going to make mistakes. everyone does. but you have a choice: you can face the hard things, or you can run from them." i loved this because it's so true. sometimes it may feel like we have no choice, but even though it can be hard, we can choose to face our problems instead of running from them.

🎁 would you gift this book to a friend for the holidays? Why or why not?
absolutely! it was such a cute winter romance set at a ski lodge. and our mmc is a ski-instructor likeee. i have some friends who like skiing (i do too) so i feel like they would enjoy this type of atmosphere.

🎁 what moment in the book would most likely happen to you? why?
definitely all the dates that tyler took alix on. like, ice skating, pretzels, hot chocolate, and stargazing on a ski gondola sounds amazing. when is it my turn... or honestly just having tyler as my ski-instructor because he seemed so fun and patient.

writing prompts: (+72)
🎁 who was your favorite character? Why?
i loved both out mcs but i think i loved nate the most! he was just the most thoughtful man ever. seeing him care for his daughter too was surprisingly really precious and i loved it. but he was obsessed with jules and would do literally anything to spend time with her! he was so sweet.

🎁 if you had to choose a holiday song to base a short story around, what would it be? Why?
i would choose 'last christmas' because it definitely fits their story! they met a year ago on new year's and spent a couple nights tat but then had a falling out because of a misunderstanding. and then one year later they meet again! it's like the invisible string theory >>

🎁 if you could choose any winter holiday for a novella to be centered around, what would it be? Why?
this already took place around christmas but i loved it so much and wouldn't mind a novella of more of that kind of content! because it was so so cute seeing them cook snowman pancakes and decorate the christmas tree together.

🎁 what was your favorite quote from the book? Why?
“I like to celebrate the little things. Life has enough strife. If you romanticize the little things, every moment can feel special."
i love this quote because in the midst of our ordinary lives, if we romanticize things, it can make it that much better. and the little things especially, i love that.

🎁 what character would you most like to build a snowman with? Why?
jules! because she and i are basically twins and share so many of the same interests! and i feel like she'd be a fun person to build a snowman with and just chat together about 90's rom-coms and ballet :)

🎁 what character would you most like to shop for for the holiday season? Why?
jules again hehe. i think we'd like mostly the same things. she's such a girly girl and i adore that. i'd get her something pink or with bows and i feel like she'd love that lol.

🎁 what character would you most like to spend a snowy day inside with? Why?
once again, jules! i'd definitely love to spend a girls day with her because she did that with nate's daughter in this book and it was so cute that she did. and i feel like i'd have the absolute best time with a friend like her! we'd prob just paint our nails, have lattes, and curl up watching cutesy rom-coms!

🎁 what would you change about the book? Why?
a few things i would change are that there were so many typos in this; a whole chapter even repeated itself. i think it's because maybe the author self-published and didn't hire an editor or something? either way it kinda bothered me but it didn't affect the story so it's ok. also i feel like the daughter, sophie, didn't exactly act like a 5 year old so that was a tiny bit unrealistic...

She is very passionate, clever, and sometimes feisty but I love her so much for it, she is the funniest and most lovable character in this series for me! She has been through so much and yet remains kind and just the best. +9

🎁 the character i would want to build a snowman with is Fate! He can create such intricate works of art and is literally immortal, he would be so fun to build with! He’d probably overthink everything and magic it all to be perfect, and then probably add embellishments or something ridiculously fancy to it just because. +9

❄️ spend quality time with family +5

🎁 my favorite character, to no one’s surprise was Blythe! Again. She has been my favorite throughout the entire series, and the growth she went through in the last book made me love her so much more! She takes no shit from anybody, not even Fate himself. She is standing on business the whole time and I love her for it! +9

🎁 Percy Hawthorne is most definitely my least favorite character. Boy got himself resurrected after killing his (step)mother and almost killing Blythe and then tried to act like it didn’t happen. He is a vile character and I hate him so much like ugh please die. It’s good Fate cursed him with a life that made him want to die every day. +9

🎁 I think that there should be a christmas/new years day novella with these characters! Those two are really close together and I need more time with the characters! The setting and world is Gothic, and the palaces and magic are absolutely enchanting so I think that those holidays, with the magic of the world, would make for a great novella! Blythe & Aris have been through hell and back, they deserve the whole world! +9

🎁 my favorite quote from the book would be the last line “I’ve found you at last” just thinking about it makes me cry! With the way it ended, I was sobbing and heartbroken and miserable, and then this quote was the happily ever after and it made me just about the happiest girl in the world! I won’t spoil too much, but this is a heartbreakingly beautiful moment in Aris & Blythes’s love story, and this happy ever after has my heart! +9

🎁 I would want to build a snowman with Aris! Not because he’s is one of the most fine fictional characters ive ever met (which he is) but because he is literally Fate himself. He has millennia of artistic experience, think about all the intricate designs we could make! I’m more of a writer and musician, he’s the artist, and we would make an amazing snowman building duo. +9

🎁 I would most want to shop for Blythe! She’s feisty and headstrong like me, and I feel like I know her well enough to find something she’d love! She loves art and such, I mean she’s married to Fate, and she loves books and libraries, and i just know she would love leatherbound special editions of fairytales! +9

🎁 I would love to spend a day inside with either Blythe or Aris. I cannot choose i love them both far too much. Aris is Fate, and watching him weave the life tapestries woukd be so cool, or we could explore Wisteria gardens wintry rooms! Blythe would be so fun to cuddle up with and read by the fireplace, or bake together! +9

I would most likely vibe to holiday music with AJ. he's just such a sweetheart and he seems like he would love to listen to Christmas music. knowing how much he loves to dance, I know we'd have a great time! I can totally see him jamming out to all I want for christmas is you and rocking around the Christmas tree. I think he'd just be so much fun to do this with! 9pts

I would most likely build a snowman with honestly wes's whole friend group; wade, aj, wes, mick. I just know they would be having the greatest time making a snowman. they'd probably turn it into a snowball fight. I can totally see wade complaining about the cold tho 😂. I think they would make a pretty interesting snowman. 9pts

I would gift this book to a friend. only a friend who's read better than the movies tho. I loved this book and I know my friends who read better than the movies would love it too! it's such a fun, intriguing, and honestly kinda emotional read. I think my friends would love to see more of Wes, especially since half the book is in his pov! 9pts

🎁 my least favorite character is Adam. I only tolerated him because he helped Juliette with her character growth (only to stunt it in book 2 ugh) in this book and was sweet and nice I guess. He is just so boring, his only personality traits are making out with Juliette and wanting to make out with Juliette. He is just so boring. +9

🎁 favorite quote is probably “I spent my life folded between the pages of books…” because I’m a reader girly too no duh, and this quote means so much with context. Also “because this time I’m ready” such a strong last line! +9

🎁 the character i would most want to build a snowman with is Kenji. After this, it’s just gonna straight up become a Kenji Appreciation Post. He is so sarcastic and melodramatic, he would probably make a whole civilization of snowmen and make stories for each one, and then put on some theatrical display of emotion when I get annoyed. He could also tackle me into the snow while he’s invisible, i would 100% let him I WOULD THANK HIM! +9

🎁 the character I would most want to spend a snowy day in with is again, Kenji. He just knows how to brighten up any room he walks in and he is truly one of the funniest characters i have ever read! We could binge watch Disney princess movies together, I know from spoilers that he loves Tangled! On my way to memorize the soundtrack, but Kenji is the best character in this book and he would be my go-to to hang out with! +9

🎁 I would absolutely gift this book to my friends! One of my friends has read the whole series, I’m in the middle of it, and another friend actually just got this book today! The characters are all so layered, thoughtful, and lovable; the plot is fast paced and interesting I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN, and it is truly one of my new favorite books, and I would love to discuss it with my friends! +9

🎁 the one thing I would change about this book is everything. I do not think this book should’ve been in Adam’s perspective, we could’ve gotten the same story with much more interesting plot lines if it was in Kenji’s pov. He’s he is my favorite character so I might be biased, but all that happened in this novella was Adam thinking shot about Juliette and Kenji standing up for her. If we added a bit more dialogue to a Kenji pov novella, I would’ve been spared these 72 pages of nothingness. +9

🎁 my favorite character was Aaron Warner. He has been through so much abuse and manipulation and throughout this novella such deep themes of political influence on the psyche, rebellion, authority, mental health, and the aforementioned abuse & manipulation. You see the depths of warners soul in this novella, and it completely justifies the things he did in shatter me. I love him so much more after this, my review has full thoughts! +9
