This was a super quick listen at 2x speed on Audible. Traumatic and heart breaking. You want to just help her through the story. I didn’t realize it was made into a Netflix film. Might need to watch it now!

This was pretty funny. Interesting take on decision-making, being happy with what you have, and the oddities of being married. The only reason I dropped a star was the ending just kind of didn’t do it for me. It was nice but very anti-climatic.

A literary MASTERPIECE! This book broke my heart and then put it back together. It followed the path of two best friends from 1975 to 2001 through, trauma, love, heart-break, obsession, and loss. It is everything you want in a book. Be prepared to feel everything as you travel with them in this journey and cry when they do. I don’t know why I waited so long to read it.

I think this book could have been a great addition to the dark academia genre but it fell flat. The plot was good but the author missed several opportunities to strengthen relationships of Lennon’s classmates only focusing on her obsession with MMC. Several plot holes. I noticed when I was reading things would just drop off and then that was it. Lackluster romance and tension.

I ATE THIS UP! Read it in one sitting. Was a super cute and quick read. Hilariously done. Loved the grinch aspect and Christmas spirit. Can we all have a Cole please? Storee literally cracked me up and Max (Cole’s best friend) is the comedic,m and loyal best friend we all need! Perfect romantic and spicy read for Christmas season.

This book kept me wanting to read. I did not want to put it down at all. We don’t get a whole lot of answers but hoping book 2 sheds a little more light on our FMC! Wanting her to become stronger and more confident like we glimpsed towards the end. I want her to build relationships and find someone who truly cares for her not just covets her! Will definitely be continuing on.

Really loved this! I think more so than the other books! What a cliffhanger though

Man! This was a really good and quick thriller. I liked the two viewpoints and the twist! Was definitely a whirlwind and I’m glad it ended how it did. Interesting plot!

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a powerful book! I found myself re-reading chapters to make sure I was really grasping the concepts and imagery. This is a fantasy book but it is so much more than that! The author incorporated so many other concepts, morals, and values into it that it could have been a real life plot if it didn’t have all the magic. The ending was not your typical happy ending but it was full of life and hope. Seriously five stars, read it.

Okay, this one was better than the first. I finally feel like I’m getting some answers and am interested in reading the next book! I like Auren and I hope she continues to grow and believe in herself! I feel like it was a little drawn out though, like some things could have been left out. Not a huge fan of Queen Malinas chapters.
