I don't like time travel but this YA story was sooo cute in a 13 going on 30 type of way (I do not appreciate that the movie was referenced as "old"...that movie is.....holy crap almost 20 years old wth lol)!! The enemies to lovers was done well and the HEA was so sweet. I love how everything tied together. I would love to watch this as a romcoms (maybe we need a recent 13 going on 30 since it's "old" now haha).

I usually don't like time warp books but this one was pretty well done. It was giving my "Eat Pray Love" loves (but only the Italy part). I think the FMC had great growth and I enjoyed the ending.

A cute small town, engagement of convenience, fake dating, found family read. I found all the characters loveable with great growth and development. The HEA ending very sweet in a cheesy but sweet way like something straight out of a feel good romcom movie.

Super cute YA novel! I love that this chick lit romance was revolved around the world of chess. That's a unique setting I hadn't read but easily fell in love with! I loved the sister dynamic - was very realistic haha.

I usually don't like politics/revolutionary/rebellion stories/plots (like 3rd Divergent and 3rd Hunger Games - didn't capture my interest as much as the others) but I actually enjoyed reading the revolutionary plotline in this. Every chapter had me wanting more. The characters are so well developed and the cliffhanger just leaves you feeling...unwell. I have so many theories.

Also would like a shirt that says "we do not eat our allies" hahaha.

This was a cute and fun read. Reminded me of a Disney channel/abc family movie. The plot was not my favorite, just cause it seemed unrealistic, but it was cute and I enjoyed it. Think Groundhog Day meets YA romantic comedy.

Holly Whitworth writes such cozy feel good romcoms. They're the perfect feel good read. Not Over You is a super cute second chance, it's always been you romance! I love Bree's character growth and also hers and Rell's friendship is amazing and I loved seeing that girlfriend support.

Fast pace, descriptive, short chapters! So much cool magic it's entrancing! I had a great time reading this I was easily sucked in and simply enjoying the read.

Favorite quote - "You cannot win every battle but that does not mean you should ever give up on yourself"

Already ready for book 3!!!
