Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
I really enjoyed this novel, despite the miscommunication trope being my least favorite! The setting on Catalina island was great, you could really picture everything the author was describing. I loved how parts of the podcast and text exchanges were incorporated into the chapters.
I really feel in love with both Declan and Margo, and enjoyed seeing them grow together. And the little bit of steam was pretty good too!
If you're looking for a second chance, enemies to lovers, fun summer romance, and don't mind a little miscommunication, then this is definitely the book for you!

An enjoyable quick read from Carrie Fisher, just as funny and witty as you'd expect from her!

As an Aries sun, Gemini moon and Gemini rising, I was excited to read this astrologically based story, even if it's biased against Geminis!
This is a cute YA story told from the point of view of Cat, a 9th grader who's in love with her best friend, unrequited. I enjoyed all the bits of astrology, and generally enjoyed the characters. It is hard to believe that they're all 14 though, they read older in my opinion. Or maybe it's just been a long time since I was 14.
The narrator is excellent, and she's a phenomenal job of converting Cat's bubbly persona. Check this out if you're in the mood for a light-hearted YA romance!

Not sure if I'm just not in the mood for this at the moment, but I found it pretty grating...

I'm torn on how to rate this book. While I loved the HP universe, and appreciate this honest and vulnerable memoir from the actor who played Draco, I just can't stomach how he never once addressed the extremely harmful actions of the author, in fact he praised her.

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC of this short story compilation!
Initially I had planned to read this for #TransRightsReadathon, but didn't get it started in time. I'm glad I didn't rush through this collection. I enjoyed each of these stories, and wish many of them were full length novels! If you're looking for magic and trans joy, this is it! Definitely recommend!
