Great early character development (1 more)
Very minimal awkward teen love scenes
This is how young adult fiction should be done.
Roped in from the beginning. Easy reading without getting boring. Entertaining and engaging, with just the right amount of eye rolls from an adult reader for YA fiction.

YA or Adult?
I went I went into this book knowing nothing. (I do this for many books from authors I respect). I had read Eleanor and Park and thought I would be getting a simple young adult romance. Boy was I wrong, this book is great for people who are growing up a little. The young adult story is still there but it is complicated by the adult world of marriage and kids and family. Great transition book if you want to start reading more adult fiction.

Cath is relatable. (2 more)
Draws in young adult readers but also allows "older" adults to relate.
Made me fangirl Rainbow!
Fantastic Teen Fiction
Rainbow Rowell knows how to relate to young adult readers and how to get "older" adults to reflect back and see themselves in the characters' situations. This book made me fangirl Rainbow so bad! Cath and Wren are twins trying to create their own paths as they step into adulthood. Cath struggles along that path

3.5/5<br/><br/>Thanks to Dean Street Press for rereleasing this lovely book. E.H.Young writes so beautifully, I wish I had read her children's books when I was young. This #bookreview is for one of her adult fiction books. http://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/08/03/wholly-moley/

Science Fiction
A new author and new twist on the hidden world of knights and the super natural in the modern world. It held my attention as I read and wanted to know what happens next. The first book on the series. Not intended for young readers. Adult situations and language.

I'm 19% finished with this book and I have to put it down. My life is too short to read books that I cannot get into.
I was really excited to read this book. The advertising was spectacular and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to read a "Harry Potter with millenials." Unfortunately this book has fell so flat I'm having to DNF it. The characters seem to be extremely chiche & their descriptions were just awful. If this is supposed to be adult fiction you really don't need to have a description being "the hot" guy. I would expect more from any author.
The plot line seemed interesting enough but the writing has ruined any chance for me to enjoy it. It reads like a mix between young adult and middle grade fiction. This would be all fine and dandy if it wasn't being advertised as adult fiction.
All in all, I would not recommend this book.
