So I freaking love the cover on this edition. Butttttt I definitely prefer the old movie to this. However, I do have a hard time with the majority of classics so there is always that factor!

I just couldn’t get into this one as much as I wanted to.

This was such a wonderful, romantic contemporary collection! It was exactly what I needed! It’s the perfect Valentine’s Day read, or any time really!

I enjoyed all the stories! And these were a few of the stories that stood out to me!

Chasing the Story by C. Vonzale Lewis was awesome! I loved the characters connection so much, their banter, and also the mystery of the story! A true page turner!

Intertextual Relations by Brandy Woods Snow was so freaking adorable! It was like You’ve Got Mail but with texting and at a dance! Loved the dialogue!

The Storm of the Decade by Prerna Pickett was excellent! I love a good storm and Ollie was seriously the best! Can I keep him?

Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers by Deborah Maroulis was a touching and lovely read! The characters were on point!

Jane & Austen’s by Jess Moore was like a modern day Jane Austen story! And I seriously love second chance romances!

Seriously check out this amazing and super cute read!

This one was hard for me to connect with the characters, but I really liked the atmosphere and writing.

This was a pretty awesome story! And I actually didn’t know this particular Greek mythology tale so it was nice to be able to read something new on that!

The whole social media thing, along with the Greek stuff, was pretty interesting! It just goes to show how bad social media can be. I do use social media a lot, but I actually prefer the world without it.

I absolutely loved Theseus and Ariadne! They had wonderful chemistry and worked great together as a team. My one con is that in the beginning it was super insta-love. I just wish there would have been a little build to that.

Overall, this was a fun book with cool world building, and I would actually love to see a sequel on this because I want more!

Jenn Bennett is one of my favorite authors ever, so when I saw she was doing a YA fantasy I was so excited! I love seeing authors write different genres even though her YA contemporaries are a-amazing!

Theo was awesome! She was strong, emotional, challenging, and admitted when she was right or wrong. Huck was the perfect sidekick—swoony, sweet, protective, funny. Their bickering was the best! 

The world building was great and we get to explore such places as Turkey and Romania. And there is quite the chase that Theo and Huck have to take part in to escape people after them. I will say that one of my favorite action scenes was the airplane one!

And the magic! There was just so much awesomeness tangled up in this book, whether you are looking for contemporary, adventure, fantasy, romance—it's all there! I really loved this one!

So I actually read Prerna’s short story in Love in Main and I loved it. I remember seeing her upcoming book on Edelweiss and decided to download it. I’m super picky with contemporary so I’m hard to please!

But! I loved it! It was very character driven with an interesting gang concept. And Corey and Tessa were my little babies! Their chemistry was on fire!

The dialogue was fun and the serious moments mingled in very well! I explode with happiness when there’s a mixture of this! Can’t wait to read more from this author!

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while but had been needing to get through a clutter of ARCs! Luckily, I wasn’t disappointed when I finally found my chance!

I liked the multiple POVs, but I would have liked to have more on Isaac! He was my favorite! Harper was interesting and she’s missing part of her arm because of the Gray. Violet is the new kid in town. And Justin I liked but he needed more oomph. But when these characters were all together, they were on fire!

Loved the Founding Fathers’ stuff as well as the magic. I have not read the Raven Boys but this is definitely nothing like Stranger Things, which is a good thing, wouldn’t want a book exactly like a show! My only complaint was the book felt a bit MG at times.

The writing was beautiful and it was fun to dig deeper in the town to uncover its secrets! Need book 2!

I’ve come to learn that if it’s contemporary, Brandy Woods Snow does not disappoint!

As soon as I dove into As Much As I Ever Could, I fell in love with CJ! She was awesome and has a brain full of baggage that she has to deal with. And then there’s my boy! Jett! Loved him! And he was the perfect book boyfriend! Plus, he drives fast cars! Now put these two characters together and you get swoon galore!

There was some great side characters too! Memaw! I want a Memaw in my life!

Overall this was a super fun book filled with emotion and kisses and drama and awesomeness! And the dialogue was so freaking good!

Frame always writes the cutest romantic comedies! I always love the nerdiness and swoon! Can’t wait to read the next one!
