I will never trust book Tok again. This “romantasy” (loose on the antasy part of the word) is exactly what the author described it as. A Frankenstein of every single romance-fantasy trope in one book. I don’t believe there is a single original plot within the book. The book takes you through the world of “Ilya” (what a creative name I know) where people called “Elites” reign with their powers and “Ordinaries” are well... ordinary. I love how the book does not let us infer or hypothesis power dynamics within this kingdom whatsoever.

Freshly out of college, a couple who used to be engaged is forced to spend the week together with friends against their will. The catch: their friends do not know about the broken off engagement. What will happen? Is there still love there or is this friend group bound to break apart? This was the BEST book I have ever read. If you are in search of the perfect beachy romance novel, I could not recommend a book more. Emily Henry submerges you into a book, making you not want to put it down. This was the perfect romance book and I could not love it more.

In this romance novel, Lily falls in love with an abusive man. Does she break it off or continue? What from her past will resurface? It Ends With Us was a good read. If you want a fast-paced, emotional, full circle read, I would recommend this book. I would not say that this would be a novel I would want to read again, once was enough. Colleen Hoover did a good job leaving you at the edge of your seat towards the end of the book.
