The first half or so of this book was a little hard for me to get into. I didn't find myself that interested in the characters or the story. It felt very info dump heavy which wasn't super enjoyable. I did decide to continue with it and I did end up enjoying the last 30% or so better than the rest of the book.
It was pretty fast and easy to read and the ending has me interested enough that I'll probably pick up the next one.

The Attic Child follows two characters who have experiences that mirror each other throughout their respective chapters.
And I have mixed feelings about this one. As often happens to me when going into a novel with dual perspectives of historical and modern, I find myself bored by one.
This book was slightly different, because I enjoyed both perspectives as children. However, the chapters which focused on Lowra as an adult just didn't pull me in as much as the rest of the novel did.
Overall however, this was a good read that deals with some difficult and important to talk about topics, and there was a lot I enjoyed.

This book was fantastic. It wasn't entirely what I expected, because while there is a beautiful second chance romance in this book, I wouldn't say it's a traditional romance book. It has a lot more literary elements, as we go through Matty's story of addiction as he works towards sobriety.
This book was raw and honest and so well written. Handling a difficult topic in such a good way. 
I also wasn't expecting the book to be told entirely from Matty's perspective. I think this is the first book marketed as a romance that I've ever read, which is entirely from the male perspective. I've read dual POV before, but this was refreshingly different, and considering the storyline, I think it worked so well getting only his perspective. 
The one negative I have is that at times some of the language was a little repetitive.
Overall however, this was a great book with a unique and interesting plot, a great friend group and wonderful leads.

This was a bittersweet emotional story of a woman suffering with Alzheimers and her granddaughter who struggles seeing her unhappy in a care home and decides to break her out.
The story here was a roller coaster of emotions, and very touching. The art style was nice with a colour pallet that suited the story well with its muted tones.
I enjoyed this read a lot.

There were a lot of things I liked about this book. 
I really enjoyed getting dual perspectives, as I felt this added to much to the story being in the heads of both of our leads.
The leads themselves were great and I really liked their connection.
The storyline was interesting, fast paced and with some great world building.
There was a lot of tension and high stakes, which added to the enjoyment.
My only real negative is that at times it felt a little repetitive.
But overall, I'm now invested in this series.

The continuation of this series follows the same tone as the first one. A girl from the group facing an issue that the others help her with.
So far I am liking this series. The friendship group is good, I like how all their different personalities work well together.
I'm interested to continue the series and see where it goes.
One of my main issues with the series, is everything moves so fast. So much happens in so few pages, and I'd like the pacing to slow a little.

I enjoyed the set up of this book. I thought it was an interesting concept, starting with a picture taken and shared without concent online, which then went viral and brought our characters together.
I also love New York as a setting.
However, that's kind of where it ended for me. Beyond that I wasn't invested at all.
The male lead Hayes felt undeveloped, and the romance didn't really work for me.
I just wound up not enjoying it unfortunately.
