Hello book besties!!today I will share with you my full review of Us in Ruins by Rachel Moore.let’s get started💞!!

♡♡♡♡

synopsis of book:

Margot is on the quest to uncover and reassemble an ancient—and cursed—vase, with the help of a boy who went missing in 1932, because it’s the only way to put back together her broken heart in this stand-alone adventure rom-com, perfect for fans of What the River Knows and The Lost City.

The mythical Vase of Venus Aurelia hasn’t been seen since 1932, but Margot Rhodes is determined to change that.

Drawn by the vase’s supposed magical properties, Margot embarks on her school’s archaeological trip to Pompeii. Sure, it’s her first time holding a shovel, but she’s got something no one else does: lost teenage explorer Van Keane’s journal.

Poring over the poetic entries that serve as a map to the vase’s missing shards, Margot finds herself falling in love with the boy who wrote it a century ago. She’s shocked when her search leads her to a statue that looks exactly like Van, and then the statue comes to life.

Catapulted into the present, Van is nothing like the wordsmith Margot imagined. He’s all sharp edges, intent on retrieving the relic for all the wrong reasons. But it takes two to survive Venus’s death-defying challenges, and, together, Margot and Van must excavate the treasure—and their buried pasts—before their
story ends in ruins.

With a blend of humor, magic, and love,Rachel Moore crafts another stand-alone adventure rom-com full of double- and triple-crosses, hilarious shenanigans, and
frustration-fueled banter, where the best treasure is true love.

Review:

Starting the book,I kind of formed the idea of what the book is about from the book cover as well as the synopsis.And I was very excited to read that kind of historical fiction story,because it’s new,fun and very,very interesting.

The more I delved into the pages of this amazing story,the more I fell in love with it.To be honest Margot and Van were kinda annoying in the beginning,but as I read, I slowly adored them.Also,another thing I really liked is their banter.Its funny,witty and really amusing to me.

What I also love about this book is that the mythology mentioned is very fascinating and enjoyable.Their journey is not at all boring.Its full of dangers and mysteries.It beautifully combines the old world with the new one.
The story is very fast paced which makes it a very quick and light read.The chemistry between Margot and Van is absolutely perfect.I loved them so so much.They also had much depth and relatable conflicts that made them feel real.

Overall it’s a wonderful read that I recommend everyone to check out💞!
