I'm having a hard time putting into words what I felt about this- so much of it feels like filler, honestly this should have just been a full novel.

The second book seems to start with this idea that Hatcher might be angry at Alice but I felt as though we never see that? Idk this didn't feel needed.

Really liked the first and last story however. Still hate that Hatcher is just a furry now, such a weird bit of character direction. Really liked the ending however, suited Alice perfectly.

Was this good? No. Did I enjoy myself immensely? Yes! I really liked all the characters especially the FMC and Henry (side note CANNOT wait for his book) and I thought the titular relationship was fine! Aaron fucking sucks so bad, hated him so much. Smut was good but there was so much of it my God! (Not that it was badly written mind you but I skipped some of it ngl) Excited to get into Wildfire and more of Hannah Grace's work, this was sweet and charming and surprisingly funny!
emotional sad fast-paced

This was amazing, not ashamed to say I cried, A LOT! Each poem here worked so well and flowed so nicely.

In a bit of a reading slump but I did enjoy this and thought it was so sad- will reread later on I think.

This was entertaining for sure- scary as hell in places and for how short it was, immaculately paced. Great little story.

This is a very hard book to "rate" as it talks about things that shouldn't be "rated". Quietly devastating, this covers two incidents of two women being killed across 25 years, both of whom are Palestinian. Beautifully written, flowing and difficult in a way that's hard to describe, this is a must read for anyone wanting to read Palestinian literature. Uncomfortable, but that's the point.

My friend picked this one out for me by calling it the "Nanami Book" and by God, they were so right. This was sickeningly sweet, Amber is a fantastic FMC, so funny and bright and I wish men like Finn existed. Their connection was so good and the smut was top tier.

Was this good? No. Did I have a good time? Yes 👍. Clunky world building but interesting and it could have stood to be longer, liked Fiona a lot as well as the rest of the cast.

Very mid but in an enjoyable way, liked all the main character's enough (even if they were cliché) and hated every side character. Twist was well executed and worked well.
