I love Christina Lauren - they are definitely my favourite romance authors - and Josh and Hazel did not disappoint! Honestly it might be a new favourite! This book was impossible to put down once you had gotten into it and I read most of it in a day! You will be rooting for Josh and Hazel to have their HEA the whole way through the book! I wholeheartedly recommend Josh and Hazels Guide to Not Dating!

I received an ARC of “Meet Me in the Middle” from the publisher in exchange for a review. I loved Meet me in the middle, and the only fault in this story was how sad the end was.

I loved pride and prejudice and would definitely have rated it higher if it weren’t for spending ages to read it. I really enjoyed how pride and prejudice was about the whole Bennet, Darcy and Bingley family and it made for a very enjoyable read. Sometimes the language was challenging, but Pride and Prejudice is a beautiful book that has stood the test of time magnificently.

I liked this book but there didn’t seem to be a plot - it gave acosf vibes if you know what I mean. But Chloe and Bennet are perfect together and I do want to read the next book to see what happens with them.

I was really looking forward to this book and it did  disappoint. It’s an okay book, but it definitely does not deserve the hype.

I bought Neon Gods because of my 2 year long obsession with the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone, and it did not disappoint! 
I absolutely loved Neon Gods and I thought it did do justice to the original myth. This book was really fast paced which I actually enjoyed because it meant I was more addicted and obsessed with the book. 
This is going to sound really weird : but I really appreciated how Zeus was wrote as a creep. Zeus was always a s£x offender and I loved how “Neon Gods” addressed that. 
My only fault would be that I would want more content when Hades and Persephone ended up together or a sequel. 
Even though I know the next book in the Dark Olympus series is a retelling of Eros and Physche I still really want to read it!

I absolutely loved House of sky and Breath and this amazing installment has dramatically raised the Crescent City series on my favourites list. The ending !
I never would have expected it, but I know Sarah is going to do something amazing we would never apprehend in the next book - which I cannot wait for.
I very much preferred House of Sky and Breath to House of Earth and Blood. I enjoyed House of Earth and Blood - but House of Sky and Breath was another level of epicness. (It still doesn’t compare to acotar though 😂)
If you enjoyed House of Earth and Blood but are hesitant to read House of Sky and Breath - I cannot recommend the second book in this series enough.

I absolutely loved the Soulmate Equation! Christina Lauren is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors - and soon I’ll have no option but to read all of their books.

I absolutely loved the invisible life of Addie larue! It was so different than other books I had read before but it was so amazing! 
I don’t really know what genre it is but apparently it’s a historical romance - but trust me it’s not what you would expect.

I loved the Spanish love deception so much! Everything single trope I love, the Spanish love deception had it! Enemies to lovers, fake dating, one bed, I could go on. It was a proper slow burn but in the end it was so worth it! Now I can’t wait for TARE…and who knows, Aaron and Lina might even be married.
