This was a really cute (and also slightly frustrating) YA romance. it's one of those books where you know from about the second chapter that they are meant to be together and that they each feel the same way about each other but are too nervous to spill... but it still made for a really cute fake boyfriend/friends to lovers romance.

This was a timely contemporary on the dangers of being a public Internet figure and the injustices of being a woman in "man's world." D1V is a gaming streamer, with tons of followers and a lot of sponsorships, but instead of using this fame and (small) fortune to live the high life, she's using the money to help pay for her Mom's grad school and buy groceries. But when the trolls come out, for no apparent reason other than she's a girl, D1V has to learn to navigate the real world while being recognized (and sometimes even hated) for her online persona.

While I did enjoy this book, I would have liked to learn more about the Vox Populi and why they were out to get D1V. It felt almost anti-climactic, the way everything was wrapped up so quickly and easily at the end of the book, and we still don't really know why they targeted her so strongly. Was it really just because she was a girl? Was one of them turned down for the same sponsorships? Or maybe the intent could be construed as the unmitigated hatred and trolling on the Internet and isn't to be taken quite so literally as I would have liked to see it play out.

However, this wasn't a case of some "simple" Internet trolling. What was described was essentially doxxing and harassment. While I feel for the characters, it just didn't bring out the emotional response there could have been if there had been less actual game play description and more of an in-depth look at the different groups.

Overall, I enjoyed the book but it seemed to oversimplify a lot, to the point that I didn't really have strong feelings either way. The content is good, it was just missing something on the delivery for this mom. Although, perhaps a teen reading this would feel differently.

This was a fun romance with a unique setting. There was enough detail about the faire to make me want to go to one. And I felt the characters were well described. I particularly enjoyed the nuances between the faire and real-life Simon personas.

Baseball star, Gavin Scott, and his wife Thea run into some relationship troubles when he makes an interesting discovery... in the bedroom. When Gavin doesn't react well, Thea gives him the boot. But he's not ok with losing the love of his life and he will do anything to get her back. Including joining a secret men-only romance book club. The Bromance Book Club may be the only thing that can help him get his wife back.

I really enjoyed this unique take on a male-centered rom com! I always enjoy books with alternating POVs. I think it's a much better story when you know the feelings and motivations behind both sides in a relationship. And to have this one focused more on the male lead than the female was a fresh spin that I just haven't seen elsewhere. It was refreshing and made for a really fun romance!

This was a cute, clean, and forgettable rom-com. I enjoyed the story overall, but it was very repetitive and the main character's cluelessness got old very quickly.

If you like Twilight, I think you will really enjoy this book. It felt a bit long at times, but i was listening to the audio and was able to listen while doing other things, so it made it go much more quickly. I will definitely continue the series, but most likely on audio as well.
