I loved this one!! I enjoyed XOXO so I was excited to pick this one up (I was the most intrigued by Sori & Nathaniel’s relationship anyway lol) but it exceeded my expectations! There’s just something about second chance romance that always gets me and this one had double the emotions because it was also forbidden love! I loved getting to see the little glimpses of Sori & Jenny’s friendship throughout this one too! Also the narrator for this one was fantastic!! ☺️

This was cute! I mainly picked it up because I needed a book that started with X lol but I enjoyed it! I love a good famous/secret relationship so I figured I’d enjoy it! It reminded me a lot of XO, Kitty so throughout half of it, I felt like I had deja vu lol it was fun and I enjoyed the characters and would read more in this universe! I didn’t love the narrator though so I maybe wouldn’t recommend the audiobook 🤷🏻‍♀️

Y'all, I love the Puckboys so freaking much!! I think this one might be my favorite since Dex & Tripp’s book! Like logically this is probably more of a 4.5 star book but it just made me so happy that I have to rate it 5 full stars! Miles & Bilson were both so fun, individually and together! I loved how their relationship progressed and how the foundation of their relationship was their friendship! They both accepted each others quirks and flaws so unconditionally from their very first meeting and getting to see them accidentally fall in love was honestly so beautiful! I especially loved their talk with Dex & Tripp! It made so much sense that they would be the ones that could really help them! Also, the whole epilogue with the queer collective meet up made me so so happy and I already cannot wait for the next book!!

This one surprised me so much! I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did but it was so good!!! I love a good 5 times fic so I was excited to see how it would translate in book form and it worked so well!! I loved the flashbacks to the 6 times they almost kissed and how it all led up to the ending! This book was also way more emotional than I expected but I’m glad because I think it made me like it even more! I loved both Tate & Penny and getting to have both of their perspectives! This one is a definite recommend from me! 🥰

This was cute! I was planning to read it in 2022 and just kept pushing it off 🙈 It was honestly not what I was expecting at all but I really enjoyed it! I loved the twist of the story not playing out how you would expect it to based on the synopsis and was honestly very glad she ended up with the person she did! ☺️ there were parts that were a little slow and had me zoning out a little so I’d probably give this more of a 3.75 stars but overall,  I enjoyed it and it kept me interested enough throughout so I bumped it up to 4 stars 🤷🏻‍♀️

I always have a hard time reviewing memoirs because how do you critique how someone writes about their own life? But this was really good! I actually meant to read it last year but wasn’t able to get to it and I’m glad I finally did! I also loved getting to hear the author narrated their own story! Definitely recommend!

I’m honestly so sad to be done with this series but this book was a perfect wrap up! Asher & Kole’s book had me very excited to get to West & Jasper and they did not disappoint! It was such an interesting dynamic to see a coach/professor relationship after all of the college players relationships but I loved it! There were some things that I wish were expanded on but besides that I love this one and now I want to reread the whole puckboys series to really be able to appreciate all of the cameos throughout lol

Besides the representation being so good, I just didn’t really enjoy this book? I loved the ace rep especially and understood Alice’s struggles with her identity and really enjoyed seeing her become more and more comfortable within herself! But the plot was just really boring and I didn’t really like any of the characters except for Alice 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can see people enjoying this one but it just wasn’t my favorite!

I love Frozen so I knew I’d love this! I love a good twist on fairytales and I think these twisted tales are so much fun! I loved the little things that were the same but backwards and the extra twist of the curse! I also think the best thing about Frozen is how important the sisterly bond is between Anna & Elsa so I loved that this book didn’t take that away, just changed it to fit the twist!
