The Night Before I Knew Him Reviews

The book has an interesting plot. There is suspense that keeps you curious about the characters' fates. The storyline involving the avoidance or acknowledgment of feelings drags on a bit, but so far, it hasn't put me off. There is still much to discover about the characters' pasts and their potential futures, which keeps interest in the book alive. The characters seem well-crafted, and their personalities are intriguing. The novel's protagonist seems quite naive and immature, but she is an intern, so perhaps it is simply a case of 'youth.' I hope her character evolves into a self-aware woman.

Highly entertaining, but sometimes you will question how our main female character can not say anything when her boss is being so hot and cold with their emotions. Also if my roommate had ever violated my room to sleep with some random guy when she had a room of her own to do that, I 💯 would have been kicking her out. So disrespectful. The fact her second roommate talks her down from doing exactly that and tried to gaslit her about how crazy it was made me question if their girl comes from an abusive home because you would need to be a custom to such treatment to continue to allow it that be happening.

Interesting, funny and dramatic. I like the concept and the story line although the drama is still the main concept and sometimes it can be a lot and you need to stop for a (little) breathe. But apart from that, I like this book, it is no boring so far and it keeps you in suspense you cannot resist to wait for the next chapter and see how things are going to be, because you think the characters are going to react in a way but every time they act completely different from what you thought, and I like that. Very unique.

This is an absolute good read! Once I started reading, I, really, just could not stop. Very Good work! I am very appreciative of the story line and having both perspectives of the main character's. The thought processes of June and of Hermes gave the story of special touch. Especially, because they both are crazy about each other from tge start .😄 I love how naturally human the characters feel lol. It was super intriguing from the very start.

We’re wired to look for patterns and feel in control—like we’re predicting what’s coming next. Then something flips the script, and suddenly you realize the rules were never what you thought. It creates that double feeling: fun because it’s surprising, and unsettling because it exposes how limited our control really is. A lot of great storytelling—and even games or puzzles—play with that tension. They let you feel in charge just long enough that the twist actually means something. Without that illusion of control, the surprise wouldn’t land as hard. And zooming out a bit, it does echo something real: we make plans, build narratives about our lives, but there are always bigger systems, randomness, and other people shaping outcomes in ways we can’t fully steer.

I like this novel plot. The intensity... the excitement... the wondering what is going to be next ... there is never a dull moment for June.. I like the fact that you can't really see what's coming next..... you want to keep reading ... you want to know so you keep going. I love the story line. Something different and exciting. The writter keeps the audience glued and interested...I can't wait for the next chapters excitement!!! Another late night 😄 🥰 😅

I love it! I wish there was more to the story. The fact that you can read the story after some adds is a just wonderful! There were moments when I felt like the main character. I felt the frustrations, the emotions, it was so relatable! Best part, when I thought it was over, nope there was more, Leila has her own story to tell. I kind of wish there was more character development for Kayla, she annoys me, but I wish there was more to her, other than her carelessness. Overall, loved the story!

The book is very good, however i feel like its taking forever to move anywhere😭im 49 chapters in and its been the same game of talking a bit, then weirdness and tension. I just feel like the book could move a bit faster instead of the whole work and home story for over 40 chapters before anythings starts to move. But i like how we get both pov’s when it matters. But overall its a good novel. I would give it a 6/10 for where im at in the story rightnow. But for being over 40 chapters in and theres been no twist or anything very interesting and not to mention how expensive each chaper is, thats something im very iffy about.

I like how this novel it's written, it's very capturing and interesting. Because the writer keeps no making you want to read more by his way of writing. It makes me even show emotions, when the characters Jun and Hermes keep on preventing themselves in doing what they really want, because Hermes wants to be professional and he is in denial or let me say he does not want to acknowledge his feelings about Jun. While Jun on the other side she acknowledges how she feels about his boss Hermes but she does not want to show and tell him because of the way he traits her.

Overall great story, I love the storyline, things can feel a little repetitive occasionally but then a new twist comes to surprise you to save the story! I like that there are many things that are relatable to women/love stories etc. Shows how much we can all be scared to communicate our true feelings! Cant wait for it to spice up again and get a bit hot under the collar! Defo worth the read if you enjoy romance novels!
