In the best way possible, this is probably the most lesbian book I've ever read. I'm a sucker for a good ol' sapphic romance and this made my heart so happy. 

I appreciated the authors ability to tackle tough topics such as parental relationships, SA, and coming out in such a fantastic way. Nothing ever felt forced or awkward. It was a great read!

Queer. Christmas. Romance. 
That's all you need to know. If you want warm, fuzzy holiday vibes this is for you.

A wonderful modern day Cinderella retelling that I can get behind. 
I think the beginning and ending was very strong with some lulls in the middle. Honestly I wanted more of the reality show, more of Cindy and Henry together. However, it was cute. Loved this and think I'll read the next installment in these modern day fairy tale retellings.

This book would have been 5 stars if they didn't end up together...I said what I said.


A second chance, academia romance between two grad students. I loved this! I saw a lot of people saying that the main character, Allison, is not likeable and to that I say...WHAT!?! She is SO relatable and fantastic plus size rep. She doesn't make the best choices but that's what makes her so great. She's in her early 20's, no one has their shit together then. 

Low-key, I think she's too good for Colin though. One grand gesture doesn't make up for everything he did and she deserves better.

I was very excited for this sequel. I loved the first book and the way it tackled so many important issues. However, this follow up just fell flat. It seemed like nothing happened and honestly the vague ending with Atlas and Lilly in the first novel was better than their reality. I don't think this was a needed follow up.

This is such a cute Thanksgiving novella! The characters were adorable and charming and I loved every minute of it. However, it was just not fleshed out enough, which seems to be a reoccurring issue with me and novellas. The characters don't have enough time to develop and no conflict feels real. Would recommend but I do wish it would have been longer.

Hilarious, witty, and poignant. Seth writes in a way that is easy to devour and will make you want more. I loved every story he told. I hope this is not his last book and will keep my fingers crossed for more 🤞

Entitled rich private school kids have beef with each other about sex and religion. That's it, that's the book. 

This book had a great concept! I was so excited about this book but the execution was not great. I think it took itself way too seriously and just wound up being a bit pretentious. All of the characters were absolutely terrible people, with little to no redeeming qualities. The ending was somewhat satisfying in a sick kind of way.

Well this is certainly an audiobook....
I don't know what to say, I listened to it but I don't think any of it sank in. The stories were too short and I couldn't even get invested in the stories. Not a fan of this one

This was not my cup of tea. I was bored. I got lost several times. I also found it corny and cringe at times.
