1. Love, Delivered by Erin A. Craig (3 stars) — I loved that Millie and Luka connected over books, and I enjoyed how flustered Millie was around Luka. 
2. The Socially Distant Dog-Walking Brigade by Bill Konigsberg (2.5 stars) — I loved how awkward Kaz was towards Daxton. I didn’t like all of the anti-Christian comments. 
3. One Day by Sajni Patel (3.5 stars) — I liked how Neal wouldn’t give Bobby back her shoe. Bobby’s little sister Lilly was funny. Neal’s guitar playing was cute. 
4. The Rules of Comedy by Auriane Desombre (1 star) — Harper was pretty irritating since she didn’t even try to be herself. I liked her sister Eve and their dog. Alyssa didn’t really have a personality. 
5. The New Boy Next Door by Natasha Preston (3 stars) — Their neighborhood is pretty cool with their party and signs. The story was very cheesy. I did like the banter between Archer and Quinn. I also liked that they enjoyed Twilight. 
6. Love with a Side of Fortune by Jennifer Yen (3.5 stars) — Evan and Michelle were Cute. Michelle’s mom was weird and caused unnecessary issues. 
7. The Green Thumb War by Brittney Morris (3.5 stars) — I laughed at how much chaos Billie’s cat caused, but it irritated me that she let her cat outside to begin with and that she didn’t care at all how much pain she caused Sebastian. Also, why was she so rude to Sebastian?! 
8. Stuck with Her by Rachael Lippincott (4 stars) — Mia was an awful roommate. I really liked the author’s writing style though. 
9. Masked by Erin Hahn (5 stars) — This was my favorite story from this book. I loved the text messages between Gray and Jude. They were so cute together. 

4.5 / 5 stars

I've read this book twice now. The first as an eBook and the second as an audiobook.

While this book deals with some heavy topics, it's not completely depressing throughout. There are lots of fun and lighthearted moments.

There were a lot of times that I felt bad for Rachel because she just had so many hard things to deal with at once.

One of my favorite parts were the emails sent between Rachel and Jake. They made me really want to get to know Jake better.

Jake as a character was so cute and endearing. I loved how nerdy he could be and how well he and Rachel clicked from the very beginning.

Besides the main characters, I actually really liked several of the side characters. Freddy, Aurora, and Haze were all great additions to the story.

I felt bad for Haze at times, but then his actions towards Rachel made me mad. I could understand where he was coming from, but his responses to Rachel were not appropriate.

Aurora was an amazing roommate, and I love how she got along so well with everyone including Rachel's dad.

I actually liked Freddy a lot more than I expected. He was constantly trying to be a good dad, but he wasn't perfect. Even though he didn't really know what he was doing, I thought he was mostly a good dad.

Overall, I enjoyed this book a lot and would recommend it!

This book had even more drama and action than the previous book. There was still so much tension between Jace and Clary. I once again felt bad for them and Simon.

There were a lot of people that I didn't like in this story such as the new inquisitor and "Sebastian."

It was interesting to learn some more backstory that explained things better such as how Jace and Clary's powers came to be.

There were also a few surprising moments such as what happened to Max and who the prisoner turned out to be.

I was so happy that things were resolved between Jace and Clary for now.

I did not however see the whole Sebastian thing coming. I knew something was off about him, but I didn't expect him to be Valentine's actual son and for him to kill Max.
