lydara_couch shared a tip "Angst! Haters to lovers! Magic! What else could you ask for? I dislike when people compare it to Harry Potter, because this book actually explores what it feels like to be the "Chosen One". Plus it has a unique magic system that is easy to understand with no special made up words. You get an idea of what goes on in each characters head, each change is easy to tell because well its marked and Rowell put so much thought into each character. Each dynamic balances out, especially between Baz and Simon. I fell in love with this book after I read Fangirl and can't recommend it enough."

brandon_veasey shared a tip "So so so good. It sort of drops you in the middle of the action (so much so that I had to Google to make sure I didn’t skip a book), but you quickly figure things out and learn to love these characters. If you’re not feeling it at first, wait till Baz enters the picture."
tameekah_ervington shared a tip "This book pokes fun at so many tropes while employing several of them wonderfully. I regularly come back to it because the characters are so realistic, I miss them. Especially Baz and Penelope. ❤️"
