Tyler and Serena are such deep, relatable characters with their own flaws and quirks. The book isn't just about their romance; it's also about them finding themselves and accepting who they are. Their chemistry is off the charts, and the way their relationship grows feels so natural and refreshing.

Tyler is completely head over heels from the get-go—new book boyfriend alert!! Serena is such a sweetheart; I just wanted to hug her at times. Her personality is so endearing, and her senior bucket list brought back memories of my own. And those cute nicknames they have for each other? Absolutely adorable!

➺❥ ❝And there goes that laugh, the one I want to add to my favorite playlist and keep on repeat.❞

➺❥ ❝You're not average, Serena. You're far more than average. You're out of this world.❞

➺❥ ❝If you haven't noticed, your looks could kill.❞

➺❥ ❝I like it when I make you laugh like that. Not when someone else does it.❞

➺❥ ❝Sometimes the past hurts us more than we realize. It might be time to confront it and move on.❞

➺❥ ❝You scare me so much, Tyler. You weren't supposed to mean this much to me. I never wanted to find love, because of everything I've gone through. But here we are. I fell for you and I'm still falling for you.❞

"And there goes that laugh, the one I want to add to my favourite playlist and keep on repeat"

Firstly, thank you so much to Netgalley and Seraphina for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely LOVED this book for about a million different reasons, but my review would be the length of a book if I listed all of them, so I'm going to list a few.

Story:
If you are looking for a cute, easy to read, fluffy, fast-paced romance, Wonderstruck is for you. From the first page, the book had me hooked, I couldn't put it down. The flow of the storyline was amazing, the plot line was consistent and smooth. I was literally either giggling or blushing almost that entire read, it was just so cute. This book is also a 'teen' romance (however it is recommended for 18+), and all of the relevant book, character and song references through the book had me DEAD. AND, I was craving egg rolls and boba that entire book. It was just so good and I can't wait for release day so I can grab this book in paperback for my shelf!!

Characters:
Tyler and Serena both have depth to their character, both flawed in one way or another. I loved how this book wasn't only focusing on a romantic progression between the characters, but an individual self-acceptance/discovery story. The chemistry between Tyler and Serena was just amazing, and the progression of their story just felt so natural and realistic, which was honestly so refreshing to read. AND THE NICKNAMES OMG AHHHHHH!!

Tyler: We LOVE a man who is absolutely whipped from page 1. New book boyfriend alert!!

Serena: Such a sweetheart, there were times through the book where I just wanted to give her a hug. I loved her personality so so much, especially the depth to her character. And her little senior bucket list just reminded me of my own senior bucket list, which was so sweet.

Tropes:
- dual pov
- friends to lovers
- brother's best friend
- coming of age
- she's his tutor
- he falls first and harder
- sunshine x sunshine

Quotes:
yes, my whole clippings section on my kindle is FILLED with Wonderstruck quotes, but here are a few:
- "Her laugh is infectious, her smile is so genuine. And those damn coffee-brown eyes."
- "Maybe I'm thinking with my heart and not my brain. Maybe I'm not thinking at all"
- "I'm tired of not being the main character in my own story"
- "I'm an idiot sandwich"
- "I have to admit, I'm finding it hard to concentrate with you looking like that"
- "You both look at each other a little too long to be just friends."

I'll be needing Jared and Alli's story real soon too!

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING.
I really enjoyed everything in this book, the romance, the side stories, all of Serena’s history.

Tyler is defo one of my book bfs now. Also the nicknames 💗💗💗

I hope there will be a book abt her stepbrother and bsf.

Also all of the references to some of my fav books and Taylor swift and other singers was also amazing.

I read this book in one seating ! Tyler and Serena are so cute , reading about their relationship got me giggleing and kicking my feet , classic book Highschool romance and a trope I also found is brothers best friend ( or almost best friend ). I love that the rest of the characters ( nor Tyler ans Serena ) are included but still not too much since is some books they really forget about the main couple sometimes . Also he fell first and definitely harder !!
