This was so incredibly heartbreaking šŸ’” The things Britney went through her entire life was so unfair and her family and the people around her are despicable human beings. The fact that her dad was able to control her life down to what she ate and who she talked to for so long is absolutely insane and I’m so glad she was finally able to get out of the conservatorship! Britney deserves all of the peace in the world for the rest of her life ā™„ļø

I’m so glad I finally came back to this one because it was so cute!! I really enjoyed the audiobook and getting to hear the song actually being sung at the end and the narrators were really great!! I’ve loved all of Erin’s books and can’t wait for her new books this year!!

I swear Rachel Reid never misses!! I had high expectations for this book and it very much lived up to them!! This book had everything you could want in a hockey romance and so much more! The mental health rep was incredible, the ace rep was spot on, the tropes were perfectly executed, and there was the perfect mix of romance and hockey and spice and emotions! Landon & Casey were both so lovable on their own so them together was just cuteness overload in the best way! Honestly, this book just made me so happy!!! 🄰

My heart 🄺🄺 I missed Nick & Charlie & the whole heartstopper gang! I loved this volume as much as I’ve loved every single one and I’m not ready to say goodbye to the in the next volume! I just love them so much! I also loved how much we got to see of Nick’s struggles in this one. We see more of Charlie’s with his mental illnesses and everything so it’s nice to get to see more inside of Nick’s mind and I loved seeing him open up to Elle & Tara a little on their road trip! I also loved that Charlie got to see that he’s stronger than he thinks he is! And of course seeing the little bits of Tori and her asexuality was so so wonderful!! Just loved this one a lot!!

I love the movie adaptation of this so I’ve always wondered how the book was and I needed a book that came out the year I turned 13 so I finally picked it up and honestly, I like the movie more šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø I knew what I was getting into but I still hate stories with cheating in them and the book was even worse than the movie cheating aspect 😬 I think the plot didn’t even need that aspect anyway, it would’ve been better without it. I did love getting to see more of Steph in the book and I still did love Travis & Gabby! Overall, this was good but it’s not one I would read again!

This book was heartbreaking and beautiful! I normally struggle with books that have the characters falling in love so fast but I think this one was perfectly plotted! Both Eva & Shane had really difficult childhoods and dealt with so much trauma that them finding each other, especially as teenagers and both dealing with serious issues, and being able to finally find someone that understands them, made so much sense! The chronic pain rep, with Eva’s migraines was also handled so well and was such a central part of her character! I do feel like the story could’ve been more developed and at times I just felt like something was missing and it also felt a little abrupt in the ending but overall this book was fantastic and I definitely recommend! ā™„ļø

I enjoyed this one overall! I’ve never read a book with an intersex mc so I’m so glad I found this one because I really enjoyed the story and want to read more books with intersex characters! I did find Krissy really annoying for basically the entire book but she was still an easy character to root for. There were many aspects of the story that I think should’ve been explored more but overall I do think this is an important story that more people should read!

This book was beautiful 😭 I don’t even have words to explain how much I loved this! It was heartbreaking and emotional and joyous and heartwarming and just so much in between! I laughed, I cried (a lot), and it just made me feel so many things and that’s one of my favorite things about books! Just very highly recommend this one!!
