The Bookworm's Feast

“They’ve never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.”

I went into this book apprehensively. A few people I’d talked to hadn’t loved it, and one person dropped it early on into the group read I was doing. But you know what, I really enjoyed this!

Sure it didn’t blow me away, and it felt a bit repetitive near the beginning – I swear I read the same sentence several times over the course of a few pages. But I got some scheming, I got some romance, and I got an enemies to lovers story. I’m not swooning over any of the boys – but I loved Alessandra. She holds her own, I’m envious of her sewing skills, and there’s a lot of positive messages mixed up in the plot and her dreams for the future in her highly conservative country.

And I devoured this book in less than 24 hours. That’s got to count for something eh? Haha.
