Reviewed by SarahVerliebt in Lynn Painters Schreibstil 💕 Es ist einfach so: Jedes Buch von Lynn Painter ist eine 10/10 für mich. Ich weiß nicht genau, woran es liegt, aber bei ich fühle ihre Bücher so intensiv, wie es wenige andere schaffen. Ich hatte eine wundervolle Zeit, während ich dieses Buch gelesen habe. Ich habe gelacht, ich habe geweint, ich habe mitgefiebert und ich wurde rot, wenn Damion wieder geflirtet hat ... 🤭 Es war einfach nur toll, was soll ich sonst noch sagen?! Dass es im Herbst spielt war einfach die Krönung..! Ich hätte mir fast gewünscht, es wäre ein bisschen ausführlicher gewesen, einfach damit ich noch mehr von Damion und Julia lesen könnte ... 🙈 Herzensbuch ❣️
Reviewed by Zoe HeymannIch hab’s geliebt. Die Charaktere, die Story, das Setting, einfach alles an dem Buch war unfassbar gut ich konnte das Buch kaum weglegen. Lynn Painter hat es mal wieder geschafft und ich bin fast soweit zu sagen, dass das vllt sogar ihr bestes Buch ist. Julia ist so relatable und ich liebe Damion. Es hat richtig Spaß gemacht ihre Story zu lesen und ich kann das Buch sehr empfehlen.
Reviewed by EvaLeider bisher Painters schwächstes Buch. Bin echt enttäuscht, denn ich bin ein großer Fan ihrer Bücher, ganz besonders der YA-Bücher. Aber bei Trust Fall fehlt der sonst immer präsente Witz und die Spritzigkeit. Damien ist ein furchtbarer Charakter und ich habe mir die ganze Zeit gewünscht, dass Liam ihm doch bitte endlich eine reinhaut. Furchtbar. Auch haben die Protagonisten außerhalb ihrer Interaktion miteinander kaum Beziehungen zu den anderen Figuren. Diese bleiben sehr eindimensional und nur Mittel zum Zweck für die Story. Selten gab es so viel Promo für ein Painter-Buch. Und noch nie wurde ich dermaßen im Regen stehen gelassen. Echt schade.
Reviewed by 𝒮ᵃʳᵃʰThe PERFECT little fall romance
Reviewed by EmmaThis was such a lovely YA romance and a solid 4.5 stars. This was somehow my first lynn painter book but most definitely not my last. I really enjoyed getting to know both Julia and Damion through their POVs. They both had their own issues and quirks and I just really liked both of them. I also really enjoyed their relationship and how it developed from not liking each other at the start to something more and they had incredible banter. The setting (both New York and Julias hometown) was also really nice and cozy and perfect for fall. There are a couple lovable side characters (and a cat!) and one of my favourite things was the connection of Julia and Damion through remi. I just really loved this book and can’t wait to read more from Lynn Painter.
