Sylvia finished reading Tin Box by Kim Fielding
This book really got to me.
The main story is so cute, but the subplot earned all the stars. The way Bill was treated...

A book like a lake
4 stars
Just finished reading this and still am collecting my thoughts.
This is not my usual kind of read. I did pick it up because it was supposed to be a cosy read and I needed one.
What I’m left with is a sadness though.
Not much happens in the book. It’s like watching a lake on a wind-stilled day. After a while, the view does become boring even if it’s still as beautiful.

Absolutely perfect
5 stars
This is just the perfect romance.
Both main characters are absolute book nerds, which I can relate to and one of them blabbers when nervous and, hello, same.
The story is just so cute! I giggled and smiled all through the book and the ending… oh my gosh.
And the great thing is that both of the characters are asexual and this is not one of those novels where they aren’t asexual anymore when meeting the perfect partner.
Because seriously!
Highly recommended!
