Oh Sarah J Maas, you’ve done it again. You’ve made my heart warm, my lips smile and my excitement grow for the coming books!
I am so so happy I got more of these characters! I loved the changing perspectives and viewpoints - it made for a super quick read (but I forced myself to savour it). I also really loved seeing the characters celebrate and enjoy each other’s company rather than the action we got in her other books. It was super refreshing.
Needless to say, I can’t wait for the next book! Can it be in my hands now?

This was a great read! This was one of my most anticipated reads and I'm so happy it didn't disappoint! I loved both Lira and Elian and I loved the fact that the book was written from both of their perspectives - it kept things really interesting! I also really love the fact that this book is a standalone - which is rare in the world of YA fantasy. It was nice to know that things were wrapped up in the end!
Christo has such a lovely writing style and it's hard to believe that this is her debut novel! I will definitely be checking out any future novels she comes out with.
I highly recommend this to any fans of The Little Mermaid or those interested in Sirens, Pirates and crazy adventure! Full review to come on the blog soon!

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon Schuster for Young Readers for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review!
Overall, this was an enjoyable read. It had me craving ice cream the whole way through (and I loooooove ice cream)! Amelia was a great main character - I loved her determination, drive, loyalty and undeniable love for the ice cream stand. The romance was a little underwhelming for me, and I wasn't a huge fan of the other major characters in this novel. But all in all it was a solid contemporary that emphasized girl power - and I'm all about that!

Another somewhat conflicting read for me. There were elements of this book that I enjoyed but also elements that fell flat. I think overall, this book just was not as good as I was hoping for it to be.
That being said, I do think that Woodfolk's writing is extremely strong and vivid. I just think that the plot and story was not one for my liking. I will however, be looking out for her future books to see if I can connect to them more.

Super cute, fluffy, contemporary read! Totally a mix of the Disney movie Prom and Love, Actually. Perfect coming of age story that reminds you of your high school days and problems! I recommend it to anyone looking for something quick and easy to read as well as those looking for lovable characters!
