Writing style is easy. Nothing complex to get your head around. If your brain needs that it’s here.

Low fantasy and British? Lots of cups of tea. I wish they’d expanded on it in any interesting way.

“Enemies to lovers” idgaf. Also,
Low/non cringe spice. 

I liked the gender equality and normalising of gays as just existing. It’s a side character thats some kind of gay. No commentary on it, just has a same sex spouse. 

There’s a tiny bit of subtext alluding to someone possibly offing themselves. 

A character mentions a child having died in the past by drowning. 

It’s fine. Eh. Mostly consumed as an audiobook and sporadically read along with the hardback. It didn’t hit.

Young YA. Info dumps without enough exploration of motives.

This book exceeded my expectations, it was such a unique story that I had no idea what would happen next. It's probably the sweetest love story I have read out of all the enemies-to-lovers tropes thus far. 
My only concern was not knowing whose point of view it was, but it wasn't hard to figure out.

The MCs are so lovable, including the friends FMC makes along the way. I wasn't fully prepared to read some sorrowful moments, so it caught me off guard! 

The chemistry between Roman and Iris is unlike any other. It is a slow-burn but it's worth it. I loved the idea behind
the magical typewriters, it made the love story that much sweeter!


It made this book so joyful to read. I can't wait to read the next book,
I am dying to know what happens to Roman!
