A book that will make you forget the passing of time
Okay, first of all - I LOVED THIS BOOK!
Before the release of the 3rd book in this series “Shattered Veil”, I wanted to catch up on the other 2 to get a feel of the characters & the underlying dynamics. I am happy to say that I did just that (& best of all - enjoyed it immensely).
So, 1st thoughts before reading the book & browsing a little bit to gather information:
- “Oh, a trilogy about people coming together? This sounds like the one from Lucy Score. BUT I LOVE LUCY SCORE, THIS IS GREAT!”
- “All the books have “Veil” in it. BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?? & WHY CAN’T I FIND THE EXPLANATION ANYWHERE?? I need to start reading ASAP to find out!”
Once I started reading, I honestly thought that it would go as follows: girl moving away from her sh*tty ex-boyfriend, falling in love with a toxic guy, toxic guy falling in love with the girl eventually, couple living happily ever after. THE END. BYE.
BUT NO. Eliza Modiste toooootally surprised me with Luke being thé actual nice guy. It’s so refreshing to read that girls ARE actually able to fall for the nice guy the 1st time (after Liam was “out of the picture” - romantically speaking). It shows a sense of women empowerment (a much-debated topic these days, I would say) & I feel we need more books to spread this message!
Everything in this story felt so real, as if I was there myself. Especially the characters & their specific traits were amazingly put together. I found myself laughing every time (read - grunting with laughter, oink oink ) when Zoey made one of her smutty comments again. That girl has no shame, & I LOVE it! She’s my favorite character by far!
I’m so happy that, Claire & Luke eventually ended up together, going back to Virginia. It was so heartwarming to end the book with a new year’s celebration where everyone’s enjoying each other’s company.
I also have to point out that this was such a smooth read! It read effortlessly (even though I felt the vocabulary was much more advanced compared to other, similar books).
I would really recommend this one to everyone, an enjoyable, captivating read which will make you forget the passing of time.

Een hartverwarmende romance vol ouderwetse charme en personages die je gelijk in je hart sluit, tegen het decor van de roaring twenties.
