|| 2.5 stars ||
This started out incredibly sweet and cute, but the further along it went, the more boring it became. I found myself not caring much about any of it.
What I liked most about the novel was how sweet and innocent Harry was and how much Adam absolutely adored him for it.
Before all the unnecessary drama and boring alien politics, the story was just about a guy being utterly in love with a naive, kind, oblivious boy (who secretly just so happened to be an alien), and I definitely liked that first part a lot more.
Although, I must say, even that became a bit redundant after a while.

Harry was… too good for someone like him. Harry was such a sunshine, everything good, happy, and kind, everything he could ever want all rolled into one person. Adam sometimes had to pinch himself to make sure he hadn’t dreamed Harry up: he was one of the rare people who were beautiful inside and out.

@Mila — I knoww, I’m sorryy😭 I know so many people loved this one, and it’s not like I hated it or anything, but it just didn’t do anything for me😬 I’m happy you and so many others really liked it though, I wish I did too!🥲
@Nelly — I’m sorry I didn’t enjoy it as well; I really thought I would love it because the tropes are right up my alley and it has received so much positive feedback! I’m happy you loved it though!😘
@L Ann — yess i know! I saw your review yesterday and I was happy to see you enjoyed it so much; it made me extra excited! Unfortunately it didn’t end up working for me, but oh well, it was a short read and it was still moderately enjoyable!
I might still plan on reading the next book as it seems it is quite different from this one with the tropes ‘enemies to lovers’ as well as boh of the MCs being alien rather than only one. I guess we’ll see!🙂 I’m assuming you’ll read the second book, so I definitely hope you’ll love that one as much or even more than you did this one😉

Great review, Imme 😘 Unfortunately, I felt the same as you, although I’ll never tire of Harry 🥰 I absolutely loved the first half but the politics and the drama, I could have done without 😫
@Elisa -- I'm happy to hear you had the same thoughts as me! Although, I'm sad of course that that means this wasn't very fun for you either :( And you're absolutely right in that Harry will always be a cutie xx
@Kati — Oh, don’t mind me! So many people absolutely adore this book, so the chances are high that you would love it too!!😘
Just finished it and despite my initial love for it, wow that last 30% was disappointing. I agree with everything you said!
