I loved this so much 😭 I’ve been looking forward to this one since reading Kissmas last year and it very much lived up to my own expectations! I want to just wrap both Kris & Loch up in a blanket and protect them from everything bad in the world 🥺 Also their banter was perfect and their chemistry was off the charts 🔥 now I need a Iris/Finn book or honestly any other stories in this universe!
Realistically, I’d probably give this one 4.75 stars because I do think the conflict was wrapped up a little too easily but honestly this is the first book that’s been able to keep my attention in awhile and for that alone, I’d give it a million stars lol

This was the perfect short and sweet little story 🥺 I’ve been struggling to connect with books lately so I needed something light and easy and this was exactly what I needed! Matt & Heath were both so sweet, I honestly would love more little stories with snippets of their life after this book! Just very cute!!

I found this book very intriguing from the start! It kept me guessing throughout and kept me invested in the story with all the twists and turns. I did find some aspects a little confusing but honestly I’m sick right now so that might be more of the reason why 😂🤷🏻♀️ overall, a very solid YA mystery/thriller!

I really loved this! Sometimes I struggle with books that don’t have much of a plot but while not a lot was happening in this book, the simple nature of the story really made Jackson’s journey to finding and embracing his identity beautiful and heart wrenching! I especially loved the parts of the story that explored the aboriginal culture and I’d love to read more stories like this!

This was really cute! I really liked both Lucy & Jaylen individually and I think they complimented each other well! I especially loved the mental health rep and the queer rep in this! I got a little bored in the first quarter but once the plot really got going, I enjoyed it!

I enjoyed this one more than the first book (although, I still adore Sam & Troy, their book was just boring 🤷🏻♀️)! I already loved Corwin from book 1 but getting to be inside his head just made me love him even more! I honestly just wanted to protect him from the world 🥺 I also really loved Nigel! I didn’t have much to go on besides the hints about him but he was so sweet and just complimented Corwin in every way! There were parts of this story that dragged a bit and the timeline was a little confusing but overall, I enjoyed this one and I’m excited to get to Lawson’s book soon!

This was fine? I don’t know if I just haven’t been in the mood for the books I’ve been choosing lately or what but I have just not been enjoying the last handful of books as much as I’d like to 🤷🏻♀️ this one was cute but I didn’t understand the conflict really because it doesn’t make sense to me why anyone would act like their kid surviving cancer was a shameful thing? I mean, I’m just not an athlete or rich so maybe it would make more sense if I was 🤷🏻♀️ also with the whole plot being set around this conflict, I felt like it should’ve had a more complicated resolution but it was all just wrapped up quickly, in a nice little bow which just didn’t feel realistic. It also felt more like they were in high school than college, which I thought was odd. Overall, it was just fine!

This started out really solid but very quickly went downhill in the second half 🤦🏻♀️ The concept was great and had solid bones but the execution was just really lacking. By the second half, I wasn’t rooting for Sean & Crest and I didn’t feel like I had any stakes in the story. I did love the body positivity and the queer rep! I also always want more mermaid stories so I did love that, I just wanted more of that world, I think. Don’t even get me started on the third act drama 🤦🏻♀️ it was all unnecessary and 100% preventable. Overall, there were aspects I enjoyed but this isn’t one isn’t one that I’d ever want to revisit.
I don’t know what it is about this one but I’m so bored 😭 I was gonna struggle through it because I know this series is beloved but I just can’t 😔 I do think it has great disability representation but the characters and storyline are just very dull 🤷🏻♀️
