Recenzii: The Night Before I Knew Him

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 really love this style of story and the obsession and need for June. I wish I could have someone like that. It would be a dream come true. I can't wait to find out what happens. Especially at the gala and what herms is going to say and also who he's going with and if Chris asks June out and if Herms is going to be with her. Also if he transfers her. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Enjoying the story. At times I get lost in what appears as a lack of proofreading. Lottie - Charlotte same person. Lia two different people. I have my beliefs about the author but I will keep it to myself. Chapters too short and with the ground hog day happening but through different eyes, wondering how I got this lonely that I’m still reading. Everyone finds enjoyment out something and at this millisecond in my life, I’m amused by this story.

Really nice story. I'm totally into it, but it takes sooo long for them to finally get together. Like the humour and that both sides and thoughts are written, but it gets boring and frustrating to wait for them, to finally show their feelings, or at least talk with each other. It keeps the tension, I get it. But whats wrong about a little communication and emotional maturity and a little availability? Anyway its still good, so will keep reading.

Soooo...... this story is definitely not one of my favourites. It's just dragging way too much. The chapters are really short. The priceper chapter is way too high. The spelling, grammar and punctuation really isn't the best. I think both the main characters are obnoxious, arrogant and just downright stupid. If I wasn't soo far into the book already, I would give up on it completely but I want to see if it gets any better. I think I'll give it a few more chapters and if it gets no better then I'm going to stop reading
