Womp womp. I almost gave up on it but Conner was so cute that I kept going. There were cute moments and it was light and easy, but nothing special. Too ultra-modern and cringe for me, god bless. I could see someone loving it tho.

Tbh way way too much smut for me. Like, got to the point where I was nearly skipping entire chapters bc it was so draining to read, but the last 100 pages were so good that I'll forgive it.

There were things that I liked about this book, but there was SO MUCH that I disliked. I understand that Violet has a condition that makes her fragile, and I think that representation is awesome. I did struggle with the constant talk about how small and weak she is because I was really looking forward to a strong FMC. I think the writing is a little immature and it felt like a really elaborate divergent/hunger games self insert fanfic. I wish this new genre of "booktok" authors would stop trying to write YA books filled with smut.

Such a great lighthearted read after I've been reading so many intense books. I like the non-conventional way it's put together and it made it easy to glide through. Well worth it.

This is easily one of the worst books I've ever read. Content wise, it lacked any depth or real sense of a decent plot beyond trying to find ways for them to fuck. There were several major grammatical errors and a section of the book where the author literally lost track of what happened and caused a continuity error a sentence later. Not to mention there were like three pages about foreskin?? And the smut was so clinical with the conversation being clunky and awkward that it made me nauseous. Seriously wondering if this was AI generated.

It was a cute Christmas special, but a little underwhelming after the other three books had been so great.

A good book! Felt a little like one you would read for group discussion in high school but a fun little read. I did guess the twist pretty easily so I didn't feel super compelled to finish the book because I wasnt going to be surprised.

ACOMAF gets a lot of love, but ACOWAR is completely underrated. I devoured this book.
