This was super cute and funny

The tweets between GC and BLB were so funny

Loved that Wolf and Bluebird were really able to be themselves and connect and ultimately help Pepper and Jack connect

Loved the food that Pepper and her sister Paige were coming up with, feel like I need to get my hands on those recipes and try them myself

I'm fully team BLB here btw 

 - shes the coaches daughter, his athletic trainer and a badass pole dancer
- hes the star quarerback and team captain of his college football team
- hes never been interested in dating anyone until he meets her… the girl he cant have

I love this whole series so far and QB Sneak may just be my favourite

There was a whole sequence of events which had me screaming into a pillow because they were just that good

I don't want to spoil this masterpiece with specifics but if you've read this you'd know; Julep pole dancing with Holden watching across the street, the club scene, and then the pool scene.... I'm not okay

Also the PT room post the east champ win had my emotions all over the place 🥺🥰😭

And lastly I'm still in shock with the epilogue (in the best way possible) like it's a good happy ending but it's far better than I thought it could be 

I instantly fell in love with this book, I love Sarah's writing style and how warm and comforting it is. If anyone's looking for a book to read this autumn whilst snuggled up under a blanket with a hot chocolate, this is the perfect book for that!

It was so cute and I loved all the nicknames Amelia had for Noah, and loved the relationship that Noah had with his family and can't wait for their books and learn more about his sisters

- small town
- grumpy x sunshine
- celebrity x baker 

Hutton and Felicity have my heart, this was super cute, childhood best friends to lovers, via the whole fake dating route. Despite there being a third act break up which i usually hate, as the whole thing couldve been avoided by just talking, this one i didnt hate (maybe cos there wasnt like the whole two weeks of crying and ignoring all feelings and mentions of the other persons name, they sorted themselves out and got back together pretty quick which I loved) 

Scandalized is a super cute but steamy whirlwind romance between Gigi (an investigative journalist) and Alec (a famous actor)

Gigi and Alec reconnect after their connecting flight to LA gets cancelled, leaving them stuck in Seattle with only one hotel room between them.

Tropes: instalove, only one room, best friends brother to strangers to lovers

TW: sexual assault (none on page assault happens but there are descriptions of it linked to the article that the heroine is writing)

The epilogue boosted my rating massively as it has all the highlights of both their personal lives and relationship over the coming years, wrapping up the story perfectly which is honestly chefs kiss 

I really wanted to love this book, and there were parts of it I really enjoyed however I did spend half the time confused due to it being in 3rd pov and feeling a little disappointed.

After breaking up with her ex boyfriend, Justine moves into her aunts flat where she quickly becomes friends with the guy who lives below her, Xavier. To avoid being set up with a random guy for her sisters wedding, she lies to her mum and says she's dating Xavier, who agrees to "fake date" her to keep both their mum's off their back.

It was cute and funny and I really liked Justine and Xavier's friendship, how they were always there for each other and the banter between them. The spice was also really good.

The start felt slow and took me a while to get into this book, however the second half of the book picked up and I was able to get more into it. Contrasting to the slow start, the ending felt very rushed and it was wrapped up very quickly. In my opinion there were too many characters and there were times I had no clue who they were even talking about. I normally love the 'fake dating' trope but for the most part this just felt like they were actually dating and there was no pretending involved at all which left me feeling a little disappointed 

I love this book so much, idk what exactly it is about it but its just so good. I love that you have Billy, Daisy, Karen, Graham, Camila and Simone telling the main story and then the people who worked with the band/industry filling in the gaps and then Warren is just there chilling like he doesnt really add to much (not a bad thing tho) and then I think my favourite more for what they bring is Eddie who is really helping the ‘why did they break up sub plot’ and just spends the whole time complaining about anything and everything.

Also it makes you think the whole time that hes going to be the problem child and the reason why they broke up but he's not

 

The last 20% of this book is soo good, again i cant really put it into words but so much is happening and its all coming to a head and its just beautiful (makes me cry but it’s beautiful and i wouldnt change it) 

Billy’s monologue (idk if its actually that but idk what else to call it) after the band talks about the SNL performance will probably always be one of my fave bits of text, the emotions in it are unmatched and no man will ever top it

Rereading it once you know who the narrator/author is really gives so many different bits so much more emotions when added to the context its just so good

Full cast which I loved as it really brought the characters to life and you really felt the emotions from them, especially from Billy (which left me crying in public several times)

I won't lie there are about 10 different POVs which does get confusing at first, especially if the character didn't introduce themselves before they started speaking, however having so many really gave you the insight of why the band fell apart and kept me hooked as the different pieces started to fall into place

If you have access to the audiobook version I can't recommend it enough
