Rezension von Maria KrojEs war unglaublich! Emotional und einfach wunderschön!
Rezension von JuliaOH MEIN GOTT ich hab das Buch so geliebt. 😭🫶 ✨ Tropes: Friendship to Lovers, Slowburn, emotional healing, soft boy x shy girl ✨ Die Story war für mich einfach ein absolutes Highlight. Dieser Slowburn zwischen Grace und Cal??? Ich hab’s so gefühlt. 😩 Wie sich ihre Freundschaft entwickelt und langsam mehr wird, war einfach sooo schön geschrieben. Und können wir bitte über Cal reden?? 🥹 Dieser Mann ist wirklich die Definition von Green Flag / good boyfriend energy. Wie er mit Grace umgeht, wie verständnisvoll und geduldig er ist… mein Herz einfach. 🫠 Grace mochte ich auch total – nach außen eher ruhig und schüchtern, wobei sie auch oft dann plötzlich so selbstbewusst wurde- aber innerlich einfach so witzig, ich musste so oft lachen wegen ihren Gedanken. Was ich auch richtig schön fand: Es sind so viele kleine Lebensweisheiten drin, so Sätze, die einfach hängen bleiben und einen wirklich berühren. Insgesamt ein richtig emotionales, warmes Buch mit tollen Charakteren und einer sooo schönen Entwicklung zwischen den beiden 🫶✨

Rezension von AnnikaHe’s protective, he has tattoos, he’s tall, and he cares for her—this book had everything! It was so well written, and I loved every second of it. I hate miscommunication, and thankfully, there was none of that here! The way they openly and honestly communicated made their relationship feel so real and refreshing. The spice was great, and even though it was a slow burn, it didn’t feel like one to me. His sister, her cousin, and their best friends were such a great addition—they brought extra tension and some amazing scenes. Overall, this book was just perfect!
