"It’s so lovingly conceived, every frame packed chock-full of beauty. Bill Murray is hilarious and tragic. Jason Schwartzman is a revelation. But the moment Miss Cross tells off Max Fischer, asking him what he thinks he’s specifically going to do with her if they get together, is one of the more chilling scenes put on film. After establishing a beautiful, borderline precious world where a precocious kid rules a storybook school, shit suddenly becomes real."

DNF @ 21%

I like straight-forward romamnces: boy meets boy/girl, get together, live HEA, the end.

I'm not a fan of complicated/family filled/not getting straight to the point stories.

I thought this book would be good and to start with I enjoyed it but it was taking too long getting where it was going, deviating into strange dreams that just totally put me off, hence me DNF'ing the story.

Totally not my sort of thing.

This is reminding me a lot of [b:アオハライド Ao Haru Ride 1|13571757|アオハライド Ao Haru Ride 1 (Blue Spring Ride, #1)|Io Sakisaka|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333286264s/13571757.jpg|19152133] in the will they, wont they/please get together already! way. I love it, but it's also driving me mad! They were so close to kissing at the end of this and then he has to be an arse...

Off to start Volume 5!

Bit of a cliffy ending. Does that mean she is who he wanted her to be? Does that mean I have to go buy book 2 right away to find out?

Ugh!

I was really enjoying this until that last 5-10% when Cyrus finally admitted what he wanted from her. I'm not a fan of reincarnation to be honest but if it means that Cyrus and Logan will get together then fine, I'll get over it.

Hmm...well I like the idea of a reverse harem book and I did enjoy how protective of her they were but I didn't really get the rest of it. Near the end I was reading it and kept saying to myself: what is happening? They seemed to be coming together to go against Lucifer but then nothing actually ended up happening at the end when he showed. Confused...

I don't think I'll be continuing the series.
