The start was a bit rough for me, I struggled to feel anything for the characters at first. (Also, why is Bee’s last name a chemical compound??). And while I deeply admire Marie Curie as a STEM girlie myself, the number of Marie Curie references felt a little too much after a while. 

That said, once I got more into the story, it became a fun and charming read. I really enjoyed the slow burn between Bee and Levi; their chemistry was chef's kiss. It was also refreshing to see some critique of standardized testing and “sausage referencing”, the way certain spaces (especially in STEM) can still be boys-club coded and subtly gatekeep against women's opinions and ideas.

Overall, it was a good time; sweet, funny, and full of nerdy charm.

The Little Prince is a short story that gently reminds us how, in adulthood, we tend to forget the magic of love, family, and friendships. Growing up often becomes all about productivity, and somewhere along the way, we lose sight of what really matters. It shows how the real value of something doesn’t come from how rare or impressive it is, but from the love and care we put into it. 

The writing is simple but so beautiful, in a way that works for both adults and children... because in the end, adults are just children who grew up.

I finished this book a while ago and am still contemplating how to write this review. Mona did it again: a complete fever dream of a book, but one that still makes sense? 
This book follows Miranda, who suffers from chronic back pain, which has cost her career and relationship. Her pain is described so vividly that you feel it as you read the book; you feel her frustration navigating a world where people don't truly think she's suffering, or assume she's faking it all. 
There were many moments when I couldn't figure out what was real or not, but that's the beauty of Mona Awad's art. 
It's beautiful, it's weird, it's funny, it's dark, and it's Shakespearean. 

I am a bit conflicted. One of the twists was amazing, and the other really disappointed me. The constant reminder of lies felt a bit overused as well. But overall, it was a fun read. I quite enjoyed the summer camp feel of this book.

I feel like this series keeps getting better with each book. Maybe I am just very biased because my boyfriend is a pastry chef as well and every single scene kept reminding me of him but I loved it! Such a cozy read (as usual) 🍓🥞 I am not ready for when the final book comes out and I say goodbye to Dream Harbor ...

This second book didn't do Alex justice. Not only was it still relatively slow-paced for such a short book, but it also didn't feel as creepy. The gothic elements and the mystery in this one were also, unfortunately, not as good as in the first book. 

This is a really short and beautiful retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. Kingfisher never disappoints with her eerie and gothic descriptions. However, it was quite slow at the start, and for such a short book, I do wish it had picked up the pace earlier.

After all the emotional damage from the first era, I don't think I was quite ready to say goodbye to these characters. I am glad I read this now. I love Kelsier so much and I don't think a character has ever made me cry so much 🤍

 I don't think I will ever recover from this ending :( and that is okay because I know this story and its characters will forever be in my heart. This is, by far, my favourite fantasy series. I cried so many times and I smiled so many times. The story was beautiful from the first page to the very last 🤍

This series keeps getting better and better the more I read. The magic system, the history of the world, the politics—everything is absolutely mind-blowing. Sanderson has created such a fantastic world, and I can't seem to get enough of it. 
This book was a bit slower than the first and heavier on politics, but oh boy, it did not disappoint one bit. I loved every single character. They are all so unique, and seeing each grow through their personal struggles was amazing. I can't wait to continue this series!
P.S

I really really really miss Kelsier 🤍
