"Cute, quick ya read"

Skye Edelson-Bennett

"This book definitely will put you in your feelings ,that's for sure!"

Jonathan Kent

"Nicola Yoon has done it again!! I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster this took me on. I like how there’s an underlying theme that love is more than romantic/true love. Like her other works, I need this one to be a film asap; Evie and I are the same person, and I need to see my fictional twin on the big screen. "

"🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 When I picked up this book I thought it was going to have a touch more of magic in it with the whole vision aspect. It did not. It did focus on results of her seeing people’s future but was primarily a straight forward romance."

Abby

"This book was a beautiful tearjerker. It supernaturally explored teen romance. I give this book 5/5 stars. However, it was a bit fast-paced, and events happened so fast that they were hard to comprehend. However, Yoon makes up for this with excellent dialogue, quotes, and a stellar storyline. This is yet another one of Yoon’s masterpieces. I recommend this as an excellent read. #teen_romance #powers #nicolayoon "
