The first two thirds was solid but not particularly captivating, but the last third was fucking excellent. Gotta read the next one. And I also really want to go to Norway now! ποΈ

π³π³π³ This was so well crafted and I didn't see (almost) any of the plot twists coming! I listened to the audiobook, which was excellently narrated.

Well, this was cute as all hell. I would have liked it to be a little longer and more fleshed out, but it still packed a lot of story into 229 pages. Definitely gonna check out more from this author.

Didn't get as much out of this as I was hoping to, and something about it kind of rubbed me the wrong way but I'm not sure how to articulate it. π

As someone who, like Ophelia, was a boy-crazy teenage girl who spent a lot of time questioning her sexuality, this book hit hard for me. It didn't end up going where I thought it would, but it was a beautiful ride.
