zorie’s friends were SUCH assholes. but i liked her, and i loved lennon. jenn bennett is one of my fav ya romance authors. this was so sweet, except i am tired of stories like “uptight girl meets casual guy and learns that *gasp* she doesnt need to plan too much or worry anymore.” like just let these girls live

i don’t usually go for marriage in trouble books, but i really loved this. mac was so sweet and they were good together. one tiny pet peeve tho:
he said he was going to be a father when isabella got pregnant, but he was already aimee’s father??? not biologically, but still, i felt bad for little aimee at the end

this was nice. the characters were good together, but the pacing was weird at the beginning. like they got together fairly quickly, before they had ever demonstrated their compatibility. and the end was nice but honestly the amount of loose ends stressed me out
adventurous dark sad

WHY WOULD SHE WRITE THIS???? it is so sad. reading this felt like getting stabbed in the heart a billion times. SAM.

these characters have my WHOLE HEART. i love them all so much. ian was a little bit sexist sometimes, which makes sense within the historical context, but i prefer my historical romance heroes to be a little more progressive

this was pretty good. ransom was kinda sexist and aggressive at the beginning but not so much that it ruined the book. and i guessed the plot twist at the very beginning, but i still liked it. tessa dare is really good at pulling off outlandish plots, but parts of this one still felt a lil too unrealistic

i liked this but not as much as tweet cute. i love ya books that are set in college, and i think there should be more of them. my only problem with this was that andie was cringey sometimes
