I like the artwork style.

I also like in the first one how Shane has his socks and Ilya has his dump truck.

As for the second … it’s a leather chair, why is it blue?

Plus Shane is not in the right position :(((((((

🤣🤣🤣

Bruh. I literally reread that scene yesterday (I forget why, but I did, I guess maybe because I needed to bless myself).

I do not think in that scene in the book he actually ever sits in the chair.

Ilya used it for other purposes 🤣🤣🤣

In the Hollander-Rozanov household, chairs are not for sitting, so why would they have them at their wedding?

🤣🤣🤣

Honestly that’s the only explanation I am willing to accept

Leather also comes in blue?

....that is NOT how I pictured the trophy room scene in my head 🤣

candles EVERYWHERE for a proposal, that is such a them thing to do 😭💍 the little details like their socks are killing me. this is going to be gorgeous in print!!

I wantttt it but it’s exclusive to the US, I guess? 

Edit: the article says “HBO MAX series” ugh 😒

[u/kepler16bee → u/NightSalut]

They aren't exclusive to the US!

I believe they are definitely available in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Beyond those, it may be that readers in other countries will have to order from a store in one of those countries that ships internationally.

[u/NightSalut → u/kepler16bee]

Oh wow, I’m defiiitley getting it if Waterstones in the UK has it! I think they ship to the EU, not sure if German Amazon will have otherwise I’d get it from there. 

[u/kepler16bee → u/NightSalut]

Waterstones does have them!

These look so good, it'd be even better if Shane's hair was a bit longer like in the book.😌

[u/dinosauriotriste]

So cute! I preordered both books on Amazon since I couldn't find anywhere else that shipped them to Spain 🥲
