For this book, I was so close to DNFing it. Honestly, I'm not sure why I didn't DNF it and kept listening/reading, but I'm glad that I did. This book is a mystery book and for the first half of the book at least I felt like nothing in the plot was really progressing. But at some point, I remember just getting hooked and there was more than one twist which I did not see coming! Definitely worth reading to the end! Even though I got a little lost in the middle, the end of the book really brought it home.

This book isn't like others I usually read but I did end up enjoying it. It felt a little young for me and for a romance book I didn't really swoon as much as I like to when I read romance books. Overall, good book for teens maybe.

Yet another "listen while I read along". Ok, so this book was amazing. It was another recommendation from my cousin and even though I wasn't sure what the heck this book even talked about, I wasn't going to question her after how much I loved The Sound of Gravel. So I dove in head first with no knowledge of the book other than lots of people were talking about it being good. And they were right! While this book did cover some hard topics it was told brilliantly. The audiobook is read by the author and everything she wrote in this book was so raw and real. She really opened herself up to the whole world to share the truth of her journey since childhood.

I bought this to read since it was a dark fantasy romance. I didn’t expect the twist on Cinderella and beauty and the beast kind of vibes that came up but I loved them. And I loved how the ending fit the whole plot of the book. It just made sense how the story progressed from start to finish and it was great. I can’t wait to read the next one!

This book took me a while to get into. I honestly almost DNFed it but decided to keep going (and I am glad I did!). I Think about 65% (ish) of the way through the pace of the book picked up and a lot of the book really came together making everything I read up until that point make a lot more sense. I enjoyed the characters and the writing style. It was great to see more of the depth of the characters as the book went on and see them become more developed. This book is definitely worth the hype it gets and I am excited to continue the series!

Tom is so honest in this book. It was very interesting seeing his journey through all the movies and also after. Especially how different it was for him than others. It was real and raw and he tells it very well. I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by the author and it was very well read!
