i will not be finishing this series. i just dont care enough. i dont like any of the characters except grayson. i only read bc i wanted to know what happened. and i just looked up spoilers for the third one. jameson did grow on me a tiny bit, but i much prefer grayson. 
adventurous lighthearted fast-paced

i liked that the women had slightly more prominent roles than shakespeare’s women usually do, but i wasnt obsessed with the story

this book was sweet and it made me very emotional. i love neal. but the ending provided NO closure. what about the future??? they barely talked??? he didnt even smile??? what about her show??? what about seth??? WHAT ABOUT THE PHONE???
challenging informative reflective fast-paced

this book was interesting, informative, thought-provoking, and it made me a better ally. i like that it was short, but the downside to that is that sometimes i felt like i was being very overwhelmed with information

this was good, but not as good as the other wes + liz content. also, i couldve sworn he said he was “in love with her” in bttm but maybe im just gaslighting myself???? but this wasnt as good as i thought it was gonna be, but it was still good!!!!!!

this was an enjoyable read! i liked the variety of writing styles and the lack of a 3rd act breakup. i thought her cat was weird tho and sometimes the characters were unrealistic 
sad tense slow-paced

i really wanted to like this because the title is intriguing, the story seems incredible, and i like the cover. but alas, i did not enjoy it. the story is interesting and important, but i did not like the writing style or the narrator’s voice. it just makes me angry bc it had SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!
