Me: Hey, read this synopsis and tell me this isn't the most "me" book ever. 
 BFF: *without even looking at it* Is it about soulbonds? 
 Me: ... yes. 
 So, true story. Where has this book been all my life? I could've read it TEN YEARS AGO. Alas. That summary is just... so on brand for me it's not even funny. Like, I knew I was going to like this book before I read it. I was prepared for it to be a little bit ridiculous and everything. 
 But my dude, I loved this so much I started it at like 6:30pm and then just... forgot to put it down. 
 And yeah, it was sort of silly at times and the pacing was kind of weird and it got a little info-dumpy occasionally, but I do not even care. It was so delightful at times I had to clutch it to my chest and whisper, "I love this so much". 
 Taro is my new book boyfriend holy crap I ADORE him. I really liked Lee too, her sarcastic deadpan was great, even though she sometimes was a little too literal and dense about things. It's okay, I understand the tropes of the genre, Lee, he's really a good guy under all that bravado..! Also, no, Lee, that's clearly a trap and... whelp, told you so! 
 There are SEVEN books in this series, hallelujah, and I cannot wait to read them all. (YMMV depending on how much you're into this trope, but it's definitely a fun, light romp if it sounds at all interesting to you.)
