Thank you @wednesdaybooks @netgalley for this fun YA romance. Something about a disastrous meet cute just gets me every time. This was a great coming of age story for both Oliver and Tilly. I love the neurodiverse representation and how it connected them. I enjoyed their growth journey as successful adults as well as their love story.

Thank you @minotaur_books @netgalley for a copy of this book. If you are interested in shady practice of tabloid journalism then this one is for you. The book's pacing was a little slow for me despite all that was happening as Jess starts her job at The Globe. There's a lot of backstabbing and unethical behavior. The book picks up towards the end. 

Thank you @stmartinspress @macmillanaudio for a copy of this book. This story centers on Catherine and her mother, Ruth who both does not have any ties to anyone. The story is told in both their POV and slowly reveals what happened to Ruth and what led them to where they are. The book has lots of twists and turns which I always enjoy.

Thank you to the publisher and @netgalley for a copy the audiobook. This was a great love story that spans from teenage love to adulthood. Jace and Andrea are from two different worlds and connected so well. There's heartbreak and so much growth during the space between. I enjoyed the dual POV narration which was done well. 

Thank you @celadonbooks @macmillian.audio for a copy of this book. 

I devoured this audiobook in a day. This was such a great book that focuses on the sibling of the Connolly's. We met Tara who is recently released from jail and joins up with her sister, brother and nephew. I love how the story unfolded as it relates to Tara's drug charge. This story is messy with issues dealing with mental and physical illness and finding love. The narrator did a great job with the different voices in the story.

Thank you @prhaudio @berkleybooks for a copy of this book. 

This was a story about Kira returning home to attend a marriage renewal and learning to find out what happened to led to the death of her mother. The story is told through Kira and Sadie's journal entries. There's a lot of people behaving badly and the story was entertaining. I was more interested in Kira's story then Sadie's. The story was paced a little slow until the last few chapters as things were revealed. Amanda Stribling did a great job bringing the characters to life.

DNF at 50%, too much rehashing of the 2 previous books and I was annoyed at how wordy/Philosophical Maxim's thoughts were.

I picked it up again after reading Salt Kiss. I sort of didn't pay attention till it was at current day and enjoyed the ending. 

Reading the same story in a different POV just doesn't work for me.
2.5 stars

This was such a sweet romance between Stevie and Zander. I adore their interaction during each flight scene and how they had such great banter. The side characters added so much depth to the story and I can't wait to read Indy and Ryan's story.

Thank you @netgalley @dreamscape_media for a copy of this audiobook. This was a fun story about a whirlwind romance between Zach and Olivia. It all falls apart when all the parents meet and we find out about their parent's connection. The story alternated between present and the past between Amy and June. I liked how this story focuses on the complexity of friendship and family.

Thank you @readforeverpub for this fun friendenmy to lovers story. I thought that Jude and Molly was very childish to each other but totally understand with how they grew up. I love seeing how they slowly changed their feelings towards each other and discovering their romance. Despite all the pranks, there were some tender moments too.
