Si fuera un personaje seria Rue para siempre. Ali te amo sos la mejor del mundo y Eli q HOMBRE del bien
Es un muy buen libro como todos los de esta autora, pero si es grafico para jóvenes.
This review contains spoilers.
Não tem base com o Eli né? De fato esse livro dela é mais um romance erótico (ela deixou isso claro no começo), mas ainda com uma pitada de Ali Hazelwood q deixou tudo fofo e romântico, ainda nos faz suspirar com oq Eli faz e fala, porém com certeza não é tão profundo e significativo como os outros dela. Eu amei de qualquer forma, Rue é uma gracinha, mas n entra pro meu top4, porém ainda gosto bastante dela e de seu modo único de ser (autismo). Eli é incrível e ler o livro dele sendo ele mesmo é uma COISA quando se leu o da irmã mais nova dele antes, ent eu me senti vendo um irmão mais velho fazendo coisas safadas (🙊🙈🙉),mas ele me encantou e ele com certeza se apaixonou muito fácil, sério, ele se apaixonou tão fácil e daria o mundo tão fácil pra Rue, simplesmente por ela ser ela, q ficou um pouco até "utópico" e "fantasioso" demais, mas essas são as propostas dos livros da Ali né, só q dessa vez, como foi focado mais no sexo e tudo, ficou muito mais fantasioso q as outras.
Enfim, hot deles eu dou um 4/5 🌶️
4.5 starsReally close to a 5 star. But something was just off. Haven't put my finger on it yet. The characters were likeable and had a different backstory than her usual ones. I liked how she dove into societal problems and issues & trauma that can come up in odd ways throughout your life.Not my fave Ali hazelwood, but its still pretty great
I couldn't get into this and ended up DNF-ing it. Nothing against Ali but as she said this isn't her usual type of writing. Not my thing.
⤿ Reading period: July 05 - July 06, 2025⤿ Rating: ★★★★☆Ali possesses a remarkable talent for delving into various genres and tropes, making her a standout author in contemporary literature. Each of her works has captivated me, transcending the boundaries of genre and style, and consistently winning my admiration. “Not in Love” was no exception. Initially, I approached this book with a degree of skepticism, influenced by the mixed reviews I had encountered. However, after immersing myself in Ali’s insightful author’s note, my reservations dissipated, allowing me to embrace the narrative with an open heart and mind.This particular tale unfolds as an almost erotic romance, exploring the intricate dynamics between two lonely, flawed individuals who seek solace in physical intimacy rather than emotional connection. Ali’s narrative is both delicate and vulnerable, skillfully revealing the raw and uninhibited nature of her characters. Through her exquisite prose, she invites readers to witness the complexities of their relationship, highlighting the beauty and pain of their shared experiences. The depth of emotion and authenticity in her storytelling creates a rich tapestry that resonates long after the final page is turned, leaving an indelible mark on the reader’s soul.➸ Rue Siebert :➵“He looked at me like nothing I could have said would surprise him. Like he knew not just the contours, but also the shaded, buried parts of me. At the very least, he knew that they existed.”Rue Siebert embodies the essence of a pragmatic woman in the STEM field, a realm where she has long dismissed the notion of fairy tale endings—until Eli entered her life. Her authenticity shines through, making her an incredibly relatable character whose struggles and triumphs resonate deeply with readers. Rue is introspective and thoughtful, yet she harbors a profound fear of revealing her true self and the shadows of her past, worried that vulnerability might lead to rejection or disappointment. Having faced her share of heartache, it is only natural for her to approach the idea of happiness with caution and skepticism. The evolution of her character unfolds gradually, with Eli serving as a steadfast presence, demonstrating both patience and resilience as he gently encourages her to recognize her inherent worthiness of love and joy. Witnessing Rue gradually release the burdens of her past and embrace a future filled with hope alongside Eli is a poignant journey, one that captures the transformative power of love and the courage it takes to open one’s heart anew.➸ Eli Kilgore :➵“I’ll never be easy to be around, Eli.” He knew that. He loved that. He wanted nothing more than to learn every inch of her, his complicated, mercurial dream girl.Eli Kilgore has the power to captivate me completely, and I would embrace that obsession with open arms, expressing my gratitude and affection in return. He embodies the essence of a man consumed by his feelings, a state that was undeniably shaped by Rue, yet in turn, he has profoundly impacted me with the depth of his thoughts and words about her. Eli’s character is a delightful blend of thoughtfulness, kindness, humor, and a charming shyness that makes his vulnerability all the more endearing. Witnessing his unwavering devotion to Rue, as he fell for her with an intensity that was both beautiful and heartbreaking, was a poignant experience. He is the quintessential devoted lover, displaying a remarkable selflessness and patience that shines through in every interaction, always striving to weave her into the fabric of his life despite the complexities of their relationship. Eli’s tenacity in pursuing Rue is a testament to his character, revealing a man who is relentless in his affections. Yet, beneath this passionate exterior lies a man grappling with a past filled with regret, a history that has undeniably shaped his approach to love. It is heartening to observe his journey of healing, as he confronts and ultimately transcends those past choices, allowing him to embrace a future where love can flourish unencumbered by the shadows of yesterday.❝
Thanks to the bookclub I started first Problematic summer romance and I don't regret it. Thanks to that I realized, Rue is more close to me than Maya and I want to read about Rue and Eli.In all honesty I saw myself a lot in Rue and I was cheering so hard for her. It really is good she found someone like Eli who knows when and how push her forward and when to give her space. From experience it takes a lot of time to get to that point.To sum it up, I read pages over Friday and Saturday, but basically ate it up over Sunday. Totally worth it.
Me encantó ver por fin las dos perspectivas de los protagonistas, ver como cada uno pensaba acerca del otro, cuál era lo que pasaba en cada vida de cada uno y el porqué de sus acciones o como eran sus relaciones con demás personas. Acerca de la advertencia que se pone al inicio de que se haba de problemas alimenticios, abandonó, etc. El único momento en donde se habla de estos temas en cuando Rue cuenta su historia, y el como su padre los abandonó, su madre era una desempleada a la cual no le importaban y era una adicta, y lo de los problemas alimenticios es cuando menciona que no tenía para comer y cuando Eli se da cuenta (antes de que le contara su vida) la razón del porqué de su proyecto entrelazando ideas con lo que Rue medio le decía. Acerca de la trama fue interesante saber porque Eli como sus amigos querían tanto Kline, el cual era la historia detrás de ello. La relación de Eli y Rue principalmente fue por lo erótico, el simple hecho de satisfacerse. Aunque Eli fue el primero en ¿enamorarse? de Rue, lo que le lleva a decir que realmente me sorprendió todo lo que hizo por ella, el hecho de que cambió su “venganza” por la patente de Rue.
No es amor Como debería comenzar… un chico con todos los libros de Ali Hazelwood están asegurados que me van a encantar que Rue se me metiera tan profundamente en los huesos tanto que yo dijera Guau es increíble y si la historia es un poco diferente , pero no quita que sea igual de genial y que te haga sentir porque yo con Rue sentí una conexión de qué somos iguales, o sea tenemos los mismos miedos y nos cuesta creer que una persona nos vaya a querer, porque es el mayor miedo de Rue y mi mayor miedo pero bueno, quitando eso siempre me va a encantar que mete a las mujeres en la ciencia y eso siempre va a ser para mí, si seguro para leer sus libros y con este amor no fue la excepción, me encantó el final me encantó como fluía la relación entre ellos dos, era una dinámica muy linda, muy llena de comprensión clara y secretos pero secretos que en todo trabajo hay, pero en cuanto a ellos había conexión tan bonita de qué estaban conectados, y ellos no lo sabían y no era de ahorita era de hace tiempo, y eso hace que la historia se vuelva más especial y más reconfortante, porque hay muchos momentos donde la historia marca diferentes pautas y dices ellos estaban destinados a ser una gran apareja, una pareja genial y él tiene una hermana y estoy esperando leer el libro de la hermana, entonces estoy encantada con la autora , y como en todos los libros de Ali yo me enamoré de él, me enamoré de Eli Kilgore JAJAJ él es un hombre perfecto y guaaaaaaaa súper tierno.
Riding the high of Deep End, I was hoping to enjoy this more
3,5⭐Leí este libro solo porque quería leer al segundo, y lo empecé con expectativas no muy altas. Sin embargo, resultó ser una lectura entretenida, simple y divertida. No tiene una trama compleja, triste ni emocionalmente difícil, pero aun así logra transmitir un mensaje claro. Lo único que no me convenció fueron las escenas sexuales en momentos que deberían haber sido más emotivos, pero aparte de eso me gustó mucho.
La raison pour laquelle je suis jamais devenue une scientifique c’est que j’y comprends rien lol mais j’ai vrmt bien aimé
