Very wonderful read. My only con is the book jumped around a little but nonetheless it was a wonderful read.

Such a great slow burn romance. Beautifully written.

This is not your typical dark romance read. I actually stumbled across the movie on Netflix first… I really enjoyed it; the acting was incredible, especially the character of Rigel, and the story really drew me in. I saw it was a book adaptation, so looked it up. I heard the book was even better, and after reading it over the past 24 hours, I have to agree. This is a tale of brokenness, complexity, and the truest sort of love. I wish they had chosen to adapt this into a series, rather than a movie, because the full story is far better, and more important, than the abbreviated one they ended up telling. It could have been told in a limited series or even stretched into a 2 or 3 season show, and I feel Netflix did themselves, the author, and their audience a disservice by butchering the full story. If you love dark romance, a slow burn, some spice, and incredible storytelling of a beautifully tragic, complicated love, then this book is for you. I can’t stop recommending it to all my friends! I just finished it and already want to read it again… I hope her other books get translated so I can read those as well!

it was poetic. beautiful. some parts that made me upset was the fact that nica still had will in her life and didnt learn from the situation with lionel and the adeline and rigel part whatever happened between them was just not okay it did not make sense and was annoying and should have never been put in this book everything else though was great !
