I Kissed Shara Wheeler

I so wanted to love this, and I really liked the writing style and most of the characters, but the pacing was just so slow. It didn’t keep me engaged.0

I really loved this book.
The complex friendship dynamic between Joy & Malcolm was well done, with the miscommunication/pining aspect being frustrating enough to feel real & messy without being over done and tiresome.
I loved Summer & Fox as characters and they were such a good addition to the story. 

I loved the way every relationship developed and loved that Joy & Grace’s sisterly relationship kept things real.

The setting was perfect and made me want to go on holiday. I loved that the story took place in this enclosed setting without the “outside world” getting involved. 

Very much a slow burn, and I loved the ace rep, as well as the respectful, consensual and patient romance.

I respect the story and the importance of it but I wasn’t aware of the content and it’s not something I can bring myself to continue reading.

The Last First Date

Character who needs a masterclass in self respect & self love. Found her a bit unlikeable and frustrating to read so didn’t finish.
