I enjoyed People We Meet on Vacation. I think it's a solid book and romance but I was hoping for more steam. Also, I understand why the UK title is You and Me on Vacation, haha.
dark informative mysterious tense medium-paced

 A great piece of journalism about the Sackler family.

I recommend if you liked Dopesick on Disney+ or if you're interested in Big Pharma.

I enjoyed Six Crimson Cranes while I read it, however, I had some trouble picking the book back up once I'd put it down. I think it's a fine book. I liked
the romance bits with Shiori and Takkan
and I loved Shiori's interactions with Megari. But overall, I just think it was fine.

 I really enjoyed The Heart Principle. It was emotionally heavier than I expected since I just thought it would be a fun romance novel. The family tragedy hit slightly close to home for me. But overall, I had a good time reading the book, especially the first part was what I wanted.

 "Wij, wij gaan naar Brussel!!"

Tessel was best een irritant personage soms, maar ik snapte waar zij als 16-jarige vandaan kwam. Ik vind het ergens heel grappig dat ze soort van out of spite meeloopt van Utrecht naar Brussel in een klimaatmars terwijl het klimaat haar maar weinig boeit. Maar ze groeit gedurende wandeltocht.

Het einde gaf mij echt kippenvel en deed me denken aan de hoop die ik voelde toen ik voor het eerst meeliep in een klimaatmars. 
hopeful informative fast-paced

Fijne gids voor jongeren en hun ouders over hoe je om kan gaan met shame sexting!

I enjoyed <I>Under the Whispering Door</I>. I liked to see Wallace grow more, even if it was in the afterlife. Unfortunately, I did not fully emotionally connect with the characters but it was a good book, nonetheless.
slow-paced

 I really loved that art style but the story so far didn't really grip me
