Reading this for a book club and I have to say, I’m blown away. Seeing it Calla’s POV made the difference because I initially hated her. As the story progressed, her character begin the grow. The love story Jonah and Calla was great and I was sad towards the end but the last chapter was the perfect ending.

A cute read by Lynn Painter once again! I loved every moment of it and the pacing was good considering it was 426 pages long. I loved Bailey and Charlie and their story 🥰

This is a story I won’t forget. It will have a special place in my heart. As an Asian American, I know what they went through. Huong was my favorite character and I’m glad Ann didn’t end up with anyone at the end. Only her and kumquat 💘

This thriller was definitely a slow burn but it makes up over the course of the book. Written from three different perspectives while centering around Mia without hearing POV which I thought was interesting. If you have the patience, go ahead and read it. You won’t regret it.

I read All the Missing Girls and that was kinda disappointing so I had low expectations going into this book. Enjoyed the premise and location and there were some slow moments wanting to know who done it. The twist at the end was good and I like Abby.

This was a heartfelt memoir to the author’s life with depression and anxiety. I’m glad that she was able to share her story because it’s important to go take initiative with mental health and going on the right path. Will be reading it again in the future

I gobbled this up like no one’s business. This was an interesting one but yet again, I don’t know how Ali Hazelwood does it. Now this book is my favorite from her. The premise is something I’ve never read before but I always enjoy a marriage of convenience story.

Huzzah the first 5 star read for 2024!!! The summary scratches the surface of where this story goes. Beautifully written and didn’t expect the plot twists. It had its unpredictable moments and I enjoyed this so much!!!
