![]() ![]() My guy friends won’t read it because of the title and cover. If these are boyfriends? It’s definitely good for display and even better personality.ĭon’t be fooled by the covers though, they can be really deceptive. The covers are really gorgeous and really elegant. I love the main character and how she narrates. Too much for expectations. I just love it and enjoy it. It’s in London with zero German terms (has a bunch of Latins though). Very short, though!
