mild spoilers !!!
i dont have much to say except i LOVED this. absolute perfection. it was short and sweet and the perfect way to start autumn. i do wish it was longer though because the mystery felt half done? like we couldve gotten way more out of it but its okay it was made to be a novella. the ending felt a little abrupt too but again im totally fine with that. the book ends when the sun comes up thats the point. idk i really just loved the character dynamics and the writing and the mystery. rio knows EXACTLY how to write the unlikely found family trope (aka my favorite trope) <3 i love silly wacky plots and fun story lines. also the theme of insomnia and sleep was very fitting seeing as i finished this at 1am. overall this was just super fun and cute and the vibes were giving
alright now lets talk a little about the characters
edie she was so cutie patootie i love her sm. shes also lowkey so me i mean shes a journalist and that what im going to major in idkkk i just love her.
tuck HE. IS. ME. idk what else to say i love him sooooo much and his friendship (?) with theo was just perfect ajkasjskjksa
theo hes like that guy that everyone is intimidated by but hes just a little softie. all he wanted to do was impress chelsea, poor guy. anyways yeah loved him sm
tamar i need her to adopt me. please. shes SO cool???
hannah also so super cool and i hope her and tamar develop their relationship more
thats it! i really enjoyed this and i cant wait for rio’s next book

oh god this book. this has veryyyy quickly become one of my favorite books of all time. its just so wholesome and funny and cute and akajskjskaj. yk some books just make you feel all warm and giddy. they feel like a giant hug in the times when you need it the most. thats this book. its just so so enchanting. all the characters mean so much to me. theyre all so relatable and i was rooting for them the whole time. the friendships and romances and the sibling relationships were just so real AND GUYS I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH. also some of my favorite kinds of books are the ones that nothing happens yet everything happens. theyre just so fun to read when youre feeling tired or sad and this is definitely one of those kinds of books. this is my better than the movies tbh. and sure this book isnt super deep and shit but THATS NOT THE POINT !! ITS JUST CUTE !! gideon prewitt the man you are. he is the cutest book bf to ever exist and i will stand by that. claudia is also such a cutie. BUT GIDEON IS JUST SO CUTE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ...more

I don’t even know how to put what I’m feeling into words rn. I’m gonna try my best not to spoil whether I liked the movie better or not until the end ;) Broooo I love these boys so much (other than Cameron ofc he can choke on his own saliva and die). Idc if they're literally cookie-cutter white boys I love them.
The writing itself wasn’t the best but it was fine and easy to follow. I do like how the author added the movie’s deleted scene and also added some of her own scenes. I also really really loved how we got more of Todd’s characters and his relationship with his parents. We don’t get much of that in the movie. However, she did cut out the “I was good… I was really good” part which kinda made me sad bc that part HITS :( Idrk if I can review the story itself bc she didn’t come up with it but I love it??????? Whoever the original writer of the movie is I love you sm ...more

Wow, that was absolutely not what I was expecting. I’d just like to say that I am not very well-versed in Shakespeare (EDIT: ignore this i’ve read more of his work now) but oh god do I love theatre. I also love murder mysteries and tragedies. So, you know, this book was right up my alley. AND MAN AM I GLAD IT DELIVERED. Yes, I predicted that James had killed Richard. Was I still surprised when he said his story? Yep.
Okay, so a couple of things I didn’t really enjoy: 1) It felt like nothing happened?? Other than when Richard died and the like last 50 pages. I know that doesn’t really make sense but I just feel like each act/part was a repeat of the previous act but with slightly more drama. It just didn’t feel like a 350-page book it felt a lot shorter but not necessarily in a good way. Idrk if that makes any sense but wtv 2) Oliver and Meredick’s Meredith’s relationship. I hated their relationship. Not just because it got in the way of James and Oliver but because it was just ew. It felt rushed and awkward the whole time. It made absolutely no sense. That kind of relationship doesn't work in real life guys. I guess that's what happens when a woman dates a man in love with another man ...more
I really loved this. It was a quick read and everything tied in at the end. I was a little confused about the ending a4.75 ⭐ Wow okay, that was a lot.
I really loved this. It was a quick read and everything tied in at the end. I was a little confused about the ending at first but I think it makes sense now.
This had me guessing till the very end and let's just say I would've never guessed Andie’s killer
It was so magical and the author's writing style is so amazing it felt like I was actually there with Scarlett.

I loved Scarlett and Julien sm (even tho he's kinda a liar but whateves). I was a little bit confused closer to the end and I'm still a little bit confused but I'm sure things will clear up in the other books :)
And yeah ig that's it. I love this book so so so much omgg Please read it

The chokehold this series has on me is wildeeee Now before we get into the review I would just like to say that if you're planning on reading this please PLEASE do not go into it thinking it's a romance. The romance is a subplot. It’s mostly based on politics and scheming and lots and lots of blood. I know a lot of people pick it up because Booktok markets it as an enemies-to-lovers romance but it's not. I mean it is. But that's not what the series is about yk. We barely get anything between Cardan and Jude until chapter 21 of The Queen of Nothing ...more
