Review:
Firstly thank you to Random Things Book Tours, Simon & Schuster UK and Laura Wood for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
So I've been wanting to read this for months, I saw it on NetGalley and I couldn't get a copy so I've been eagerly awaiting its publication. And I've seen so much hype about it, which if I'm honest normally puts me off a book but it's been a lot of hype from people on Instagram that I know have a similar taste in books to me and don't give 5-star reviews willy-nilly.
I have to say this really has lived up to the hype, I devoured it in a few hours because I so did not want it to end but at the same time, I just didn't want to stop reading it because I wanted to find out how Clemmie and Theo found a way to make it all work. I really loved how their relationship developed, Theo was so sweet in the way that he just was there for Clemmie and gradually showed her how much he cared even if she didn't fully notice it! I did want to shake her at times when she just didn't clock how much he was putting himself out there for her, i was with her sisters when they were giving her exasperated looks. On the subject of her sisters, I adored their relationship it was just so fun and Clemmie was right when she called them her soulmates, they are just brilliant I can't think of a better way to describe them. The mums and the three sisters I think are an amazing group of female characters in this book, they make the men side characters for most of it I feel anytime they are in a scene they own it.
It is a brilliantly written book, and I definitely can't wait to see what she writes next, especially as she put in so many childhood favourites in film and music references that had me smiling from ear to ear (The 1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy for one) and I have a hope that we get to revisit Clemmie and Theo, maybe.
