Holy moly was that good. It gave me all the elements of fantasy that I love with a unique spin. It was fast paced and exciting. I’m so glad I finally read this!

3.5 Stars! I really enjoyed this book. I completed it in less than four hours because I was so intrigued and fascinated by this story. Even though it’s fiction and set in it challenged me and brought up topics that are extremely applicable and valid to today’s society. I only dock star ratings because the writing style wasn’t exactly my taste and I kind of wished for more. There were interesting parts of the story that I think would have been really cool to break down, but it didn’t quite get there. Great start to my vacation reads. Would recommend.

4.5 Stars! What a fun, fast-paced read! Sorcery of Thorns was full of unique plot points, sorcery, books, humor, and some creative/unexpected turns. It was truly an entertaining read, and I highly recommend to any lover of books and magic. You will find yourself lost in world that you won't want to escape. Looking forward to reading more by Margaret Rogerson!

3.5 Stars. What if it’s Us is such a cute and fun read. It’s a story focused on a summer romance between Ben and Arthur in New York City. They have to face problems trust, new relationships, change, self-acceptance and understanding what love means personally.

I enjoyed reading this book. In particular, the references to pop culture, social media, and the use of the modern ‘lingo’ made the story all the more believable and relatable. And in all honestly, really freaking funny.

While I didn’t find this the most amazing book in the whole world, I will say that I had a an enjoyable experience reading the whole book (enough to spark interest in reading more by the two writers). Young adult is not as relatable to my thoughts, mentality and values as it used to be and that’s okay! Either way I really liked it. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys light fluffy romances.

This was a reread for me! Just as good as last time, and now I can finally move on with the series!
