Iman (semi-hiatus)'s Reviews > The Freshman

re-read #6

The thing is, Nate and Alfie rarely cross my mind, but every time I pick up their story, it lights up my day with a smile and fills me with pure joy. I'm not one for rereading books often, and I often fear revisiting my favorites, worried that they won't live up to my old memories of em. But with Nate and Alfie, there's no hesitation; they've etched themselves into my heart.

It’s like a time capsule that holds my emotions and the reasons I fell in love in the first place. The laughter, the excitement, and the intrigue of that mysterious ending all rushing back. And I’m grateful it’s the one reread that never loses its charm.

“Yeah you got that right. I shouldn’t have fallen for you, and you shouldn’t have fallen for me, but here we are, Freshman, and now I’ve got you, I’m not letting you go.”

My favourite line this time:
“The way you dress, it drives me crazy.”
37% DAYUM! 😩😩 STILL SO HAWT STILL SO GOOD

I’ll come back, NateAlfie ;)

”Say you choose me, and we’ll go, right now.”

ahh, feels so good to be back! i just had to come back for Nate and Alfie ❤️ this time with kindle highlights ;) it was a scary move to pick this up again, but ofc it’s worth it. this is the third time reading, but everything still feels comforting. never felt like the first time, but the rush and feelings, aaaaahhhhh🫠🫠🫠 this time reading, i started to noticed more details of the little things in some scenes and it was a wholesome experience compared to the last time i read. idk why i just love this one so much!! it’s not a perfect book, but it is everything to me. and of course, 5 stars always🫰🏻

ahhh, i’m such a sucker for the runaway together trope can’t find anything else better than this one and Goodbye Paradise. i need more books with this trope please!

❤️‍🔥 “who hit you?”
❤️‍🔥 Nate’s drawings, post cards and gifts
❤️‍🔥 the generator scene
❤️‍🔥 “open the hatch”
❤️‍🔥 their first time

PS: i STILL want a sequel for this one (despite the reasoning LOL) dear author, i hope you change your mind about the sequel. please?🥺🥺 even if it’s a short/novella i don’t mind :’))

i’ll definitely come back again.

If one book could be the death of me, this would be the one.

I forgot how in love I was with Nate and Alfie. Ugh, how could I forget? This book is always going to be stuck in the back of my head. Since I’ve read this twice (and I’m going to do it again and again), I am going to write a proper review this time.

This story has everything, hot as fuck-tension, sweet-creamy lines, humorous and enjoyable side characters, also pain and sad chapters. They were written so well too! Some people might think the story is a little bit rushed towards the end or maybe the story should be longer, but I enjoyed every bit, and every chapter. I couldn’t point out a single flaw in this one. Okay, now let’s talk about the characters, shall we?

First of all, Nate. As per last review, I was fangirling him because of how hot he was and duh, he’s still hot AF! The way he talks, I didn’t think I noticed that before. The dirty talks, the way he flirts, he had me all worked up, as Queenie would say. Apart from being flirty all the time, the soft side of him is also something that made me melt like a lava. (is that a term? idk, whatever) but Nate is lava. He get me all sweaty and nervous but damnit! I can’t believe he is just words on paper!!

Next, Alfie. I didn’t talk about him that much last review, but I love him even more now. I love how professional he is with his job, fighting against his will to just get melt into Nate’s flirting. Seriously Alfie, I feel you. I’d do the same too hehe ;) Alfie is the normal MC with a good personality and confidence. He’s been through a lot, but pretend like everything’s fine, hard to give in to people trust, but still trusts a murderer easily. That side of him just screams my personality. (but ofc, not the murderer part. lol)

Queenie,I love the way he talks, he doesn’t appear that much but everytime he does, he made me smile so much. Love him! Queenie = Serotonin

I wish there will be a sequel for this book because I am so attached to both of them by now, but after I did a little research, the author said there will be no sequel as she wanted Nate and Alfie’s future to be a mystery, which I totally understand. But if there is any tiny, tiny chance, there will be a sequel in the future, I’d thank my invisible genie (you, author) so much my entire life ;) I bet it’s going to feel like HEAVEN ON EARTH. I’d read this again and again in the future, and I will never stop. Still 5 stars, always 5 stars ⭐️
