The writing was eh and some parts unnecessary. I knew the ending before the halfway point, no real twists and turns. 
The author is extremely problematic and i would not have wasted my time with this book had I known.

This was such an adorable book, I couldn't put it down. It had me laughing and had a ton of cute, cheesy moments. 
I thought this book was perfectly chaotic.
You have the MCs Nova and Ronan, the proposition they start and the romance that follows, Nova sister Sabine just wanting to date the schools QB, the high school teacher drama; It all fit together without being overwhelmingly distracting. 

I loved watching the sparks fly between Nova and Ronan, it came easy and you just knew they'd end up together. But the pair I was routing for the most was Sonia and Skeeter! Skeeter may not be the best character we got introduced to but Sonia wanted what she wanted, and I squealed when they finally kissed!

Seth and Graysons story is so cute. But it felt limited, I wish we got more in depth with the characters, it feels like we barely brushed the surface and the book ended.
This book fills in Seth's side from the first 2 coincidence books. We see his side with Callie and where he went off to at the fair. It was interesting to see it all fit together but it pulled attention from Seth and Grayson. 
I felt this book was very choppy, jumping scenes to keep with the flow from the first books, I wish it were more smooth. I also wish there was more, it seemed so short.

I remember the first time I read Lock and Key, when I was a teen this book made me fall in love with reading, even now in my late 20s this is still one of my favorite Sarah Dessen books. It gets me in my feelings, makes me think of my own troubled relationships, which is probably why I love this book so much. 
Reading it now I do think the format of the book is a tad weird, she uses flashbacks to set up small scenes, sort of like Ruby being lost in thought and thinking back to what happened a few days ago, to catch us up instead of drawing out scenes that aren't majorly important. 

Enjoyed how informative it was. The tools and ingredients at the beginning breaks down everything that was used. Several ingredients I was just learning about so I found it helpful. 
The recipes themselves sound really good. Attempted one so far and it was a success, Excited to try more. 
Would definitely recommend this cookbook.

Gossip girl is a guilty pleasure read for me. Full of drama. It does have some trashy storylines that haven't aged well. 
I love falling into the Upper east side in this book. It sets the scene without overpowering with details. 

I was so thrown while reading this book. It starts with Alvie, absolutely terrible, blames all her problems on her 'perfect' twin. Then we meet Beth, and she's not so perfect, she's actually pretty horrible as well. That's how I felt with all the characters in this book, all pretty much terrible people, but what can you expect when you're  dealing with the mafia and hit men (or hit women). This book drug on for a while, so much detail in setting the scenes that the point was almost lost sometimes. 
I loved how the sections were named after the seven deadly sins, with a tweet from Alvinas Twitter. 

Overall I enjoyed this book. But I found the writing to be immature at times.

This book started off slow, it picked up toward the end as it got more interesting. The end was very rushed, felt jumbled. The relationship between Charity and Link was very rushed.

I loved the banter between Nikoli and Lily, I think its a cute love story. 
Some parts were pretty cringe,

Lily making Nikoli get new furniture because 'who knows what diseases are on there'. That was absurd.

 
There was one inconsistency that didn't make sense to me, at the beginning Adam briefly wrapped Lily in a hug and a few chapters later he can't even touch her without her flinching or panicking.
