Least favorite trope (lying) vs. one of my favs (sharing one bed) plus fantastic characters really made this story for me. I really, really liked Lina and Max, and their dynamics throughout the book were a major highlight. Lina's family was also wonderful. And Dean stole every scene he was in. Definitely looking forward to reading his story.
Overall, what I'm realizing with romance is this: a trope can suck but not break a story, as long as the characters and the rest of the plot are strong (which was absolutely the case here).

Really loved this! It was super interesting, but it only whet my appetite on the subject. I know want to dig deeper into how different dinosaurs of today are compared to what I remembered.
It's incredible to hear how scientists have investigated and discovered the evolution of dinosaurs and ancient reptiles.

If you've ever wanted to know what goes on in my head on a daily basis, here it is. I loved this so very much.
Debbie put all of her doubts and fears out there for us all to see, and they're so similar to mine, that this just hit so close to it heart.
It's reassuring to know that I'm not alone in these thoughts and feelings, and that it's completely OK to be the introverted empath in life.

What a story! I loved being back in the Moors, following Jack and Jill, and continuing to learn more about every one else.
Sumi stole a lot of the show here for me. Every scene she was in just added such vibrance. I love her so much.
This was definitely the darkest book in the series so far, and of course I loved it! I think this one is officially tied with the first book as being my favorite.
The Moors in all its creepy whimsy, just calls to me.

I'm still learning about my tastes when it comes to romance, but I do think I have to throw in the towel soon regarding the hate to love trope. The ones I've tried have just felt over the top and unrealistic. Which is the case here, unfortunately.
This book was drama on every single page with the relationship and life experiences, so if you like that, I think you'll really love this.
The writing is really good, the characters individually are OK, and the college setting was a lot of fun to read about. The relationships (friendships and romantic) felt dynamic at times, but then really one dimensional at other times, so I dunno.
I'm flipping between a 2 and 3 star, but I think I'll stay with a 3. I know that this wasn't for me, but I'm definitely interested in looking into this author's other work, because I did like the writing, and I think if I can find a trope I really like from this author, that that book would be a 4-5 star one.

What a super fun book! Didn't really like the MC and love interest names (Pepper Jack is super silly to out together - but delicious cheese), but I really liked them as characters.
I really liked that while there was romance, the main points seemed to be more about the family elements, the pressure of school and colleges and figuring out your life at 17, and the good and bad of social media.
Lots of good takes here.

Such a fantastic, heartwarming and sometimes heartwrenching story. I absolutely adored Sunny as a MC. She was so strong in the aftermath of surgery, and navigating life, discovering her mom and crushes and heartbreak.
I wish characters like this existed or were prevalent when I was 13. Could have definitely seen myself and not felt so alone with all the girl crushes I had. Glad generations have Sunny now though!

I may have read The Bride Test first, but I still loved this just as much! It had a really great main character and a rep I don't see a lot in books (Asperger's). So obviously, I appreciated that.
Wasn't a huge fan of all the miscommunications, but I understood the reasoning behind it, so I definitely can't fault the book.
I can't wait to see what other stories this author comes up with next.

Possibly one of the most interesting poetry collections I've read in a while. These poems are told in mostly Artemis' POV, though other goddesses make an appearance as well.
I really liked quite a few of these poems and several struck a chord with me. I'll be thinking about the topic of these poems for some time to come.

What a freaking wild ride. In a little over100 pages, this author created a compelling story, a sympathetic main character, and a scary realistic future. This was absolutely incredible and terrifying, and I cannot wait to read more by Sylvan Neuvel.
