As with every book that Seven Rue writes, I absolutely fell in love with the story.
It follows Rooney, a college student who meets Wells, a single dad, and his son Ira when she moves in with her best friend Evie. They form an instead connection and slowly start a relationship.
The writing of this story was, as always, fantastic. I love how Seven can create characters that have very unique interests but I can always connect to them. I adored how Wells and Rooney got to know each other and Ira was just the precious little boy ever. To see how Rooney and Wells dealt with their internal conflicts was fantastic and I loved the family they formed.

Trigger warning for sexual assault.

I really enjoyed the story of Rider and Cyrah and how they met. Cyrah is from Iran and goes to a Summer Exchange Programm in Canada, there she meets Ryder, whose parents are from Pakistan. They have insane chemistry from the start but Cyrah is quite hesitant to start a relationship with him because it is not proper in her culture.
I really liked the writing style and the passing of the story. Furthermore, I could connect to the characters and understand their struggles and I was definitely rooting for them throughout the novella. I liked the cultural aspects of the story such as the arranged marriage because it taught me something new and I found it was well done. I cannot speak for the representation but I overall enjoyed this novella very much.

I absolutely fell in love with this book while reading it. I know the film and thought it would be fun to read the book it is based on. I really liked the character dynamics and Sophie's snark to every character. I found that all the characters were very well developed and I definitely enjoyed reading from them.

I really liked this novel and I think it focuses on very important topics while still at times being a light and fluffy contemporary. I adored the friendship between Eliza Wallace. The audiobook was narrated fantastically and I absolutely flew through this story. The only problem I had was that the multimedia aspects did not really come through in the audiobook.

I really liked the world-building of the novel and the atmosphere it created. However, I think some parts could have been a bit shorted and I never really connected to the characters. I found that when the major conflict arose it was over within a chapter and I would have liked a bit more exposition there.

The Poppy War was such an amazing read and I was really immersed in the story from the start. The book starts YA and then turns darker and definitely in the adult in the second part. This novel does not shy away from graphic scenes and I like how it portrays characters that struggle with their decisions and life. I cannot wait to read the next two books in the trilogy.

I really enjoyed this third installment in the series. I liked the elements that were introduced and how it set everything up for the final novel. I am still not attached to all the characters and therefore I am rating it 4 stars instead of 5.

I absolutely loved this Christmas novel and it definitely put me into the festive mood. The story follows Freya and Finn in the town of Hollyridge. Finn tries to save his grandparent's inn while Freya tries to prove to her father that she can be the boss of an inn. They both enter a competition called Jingle War and their relationship develops from enemies to lovers.

This was a fantastic Christmas story and I loved every second of my reading experience. Finn Freya had such amazing chemistry and their banter was fantastic. Grams and Gramps definitely stole the show for me and made the novel just so much more fun. The writing was phenomenal and I cannot wait to read Riley's and West's story.

I really enjoyed the world that Scott Lynch has created in The Lies of Locke Lamora and I really liked the writing style. The characters were beautifully crafted and I could connect to them. I was a bit confused by the beginning and the dual timelines in the beginning but after I got familiar with the world, the story was amazing.
