This is my second Lex Croucher book, and I loved it even more than "Gwen & Art are not in Love". At the beginning I found it hard to tell who is who, but it didn't take long until I got to know the characters better and they really grew on me. Though there are quite a few sad, shocking and suspenseful moments, it definitely felt like a cozy and fun read for me. Plus, it's always refreshing to read a book in which queerness is just a normal part of life and nothing to be questioned or struggled with.
DNF Chapter 9 I don't know. I told myself in the beginning of the year that I would not force myself to finish something. And I won't, because I didn't click with this one. Maybe I'll come back to, but I'll 100% try out the other book the author has. I heard it's better, and I don't want to judge an author by one book I didn't like. Hopefully I'll pick this up again someday.

Mir hat alles rundum super gefallen. Tolle, liebenswerte und lustige Charaktere. Eine süße, wenn auch manchmal frustrierende Lovestory à la Grumpy x Sunshine. Und noch dazu eine actionreiche Geschichte, die vor allem gegen Ende des Buches nochmal zugelegt hat und nicht von der Romanze verdrängt wird. Gleich zu Beginn des Buches steigt man unmittelbar in die Geschehnisse ein und möchte erfahren was da los ist. Clem die Hauptprotagonistin ist eine meiner Lieblingscharaktere. Aber auch das restliche Team, welches wir durch das Buch begleiten, ist jeder für sich echt liebenswert und interessant. Ich freue mich schon auf weitere Bücher von Lex Croucher auf meinem SuB 🙃 🐎🐎🐎🐎
gwen & art had the same problem where a bunch of nothing happens for a while and then everything happems on the last 30 pages it's quite tragic really that the pacing is so whack. also not enough lesbianism for a book pitched as sapphic robin hood
Simply boring took me way too long to read - the plot was not that good - you can see that this is out of her comfort zone (she stated that in the acknowledgments dont come for me) but it was boring tje romance felt a bit forced which i dont really like and either I’m dumb or one of the tw didn’t make sense
I absolutely loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My favourite book by Lex yet. I love the different characters and the way they feel so realistic. I also loved the great humour and the feeling of found family, what makes it feel like a kind of save space to me. (Also I’ve rarely cried so much because of sad- and happiness at the same time)
Gay forrest adventure at it’s best!
Full of queer rep, witty and sometimes dark humour, lovely characters that I grew really attached to, a lot of tension and all over page-turningly-good. Loved it. And the relationship of Robin Hood and Will Scarlet will forever be canon in my head for every version of „Robin Hood“ I consume from now on. 💚
