I loved getting a look into all these perspectives! Any chance to jump into this world is the best; I missed these characters so much! The audiobook narrators were a little weird at times, but getting to hear from my babies was worth it. I need 12,000 more books on Maxon & America

Thought I‘d like this one bc of Christmas & time loops, but bleeeegh. Not my type of writing & all that family arguing/dysfunction at the beginning was drowning out the rest of the story. Found myself looking for the point of it all

I was feeling so-so about this until their 7000th break up and miscommunication. It‘s NOT okay to be this hot/cold, to literally never let your partner get a word in when they‘re explaining & then run away or be secretive. And then random stuff kept happening that just didn‘t add substance to the story at all because they‘re ✨unhealthy✨

😍 cute! I had the audiobook for this & really enjoyed it! It was a creative dilemma and a great friend group, even though I felt the most chemistry from the two mains. The blasts into the past happened so sporadically that it was easy to forget they did, but they were fun to read. Big on them for forgiving each other and not holding a grudge. I also liked that nobody was a true villain

💛 Donna Tartt, you destroy me. What a beautiful, tragic, haunting story. Her characters and writing are all-consuming; they‘re terrible people who make terrible choices & get to be poetic about it. The ending was so sad and exactly what needed to happen. I‘m wrecked!

Fun! The suuuper embarrassing moments really made it for me 😂😂 I loved Calvin‘s honesty/openness & thought it was a really great, ironic trait towards the end. They had nice chemistry & I loved her uncles. Also sad to say we all know a Lulu 🙄😒

Can‘t tell you how excited I was for this. Except I BAILED??? 😭 Adam Silvera is one of my favorite authors; I‘ve binged his books in days. Which means I could tell that this *DID NOT* feel like his writing. It felt bland, forced, and I didn‘t make it past their first meeting. Super disappointed 🥲 hope to revisit

I liked the tension, just felt like the story ended with it & then started up again, which was weird. It was a really well written struggle with substance use, and I also like how strong and firm Grey was with boundaries from page 1. Not a lot of growth there, but it was a fine read

😍 so much fun! Hilariously written characters & absolutely believable feelings. I love time loops & really appreciated that this one actually explained what caused it in a non-complicated way. The writing was beautifully visual, even with the Taylor Swift lyrics inserted throughout.

🤨 I keep stumbling upon wordy novels with very British English and jokes/references that fly over my head. The side comments make this hard to read; everything was given an extra explanation or backstory, which made me lose interest. It also took almost 100 pages to get to the next plot point, which is wild.

Cute! Nice, healthy relationship with great communication— something we don‘t see often in these kinds of books! Love the absolutely accurate portrayal of athletics and mental health

Sadly, couldn‘t get into it. Seemed wordy or idek what. Also couldn‘t feel the chemistry between the characters at all 🥲☹️

💛 easy read; literally bolted through it in less than 12 hrs. A bit predictable, great pacing, and overall very heartwarming. Reminded me of Love and Other Words a little too much, but I‘m a sucker for this kind of story no matter what!!

😭❤️ why has nobody talked about this book!?! It was so beautiful! Exactly the kind of story I needed and such a great portrayal of these painful experiences. It was written with passion, told a beautiful tale, and even though there was so much happening, it never distracted from the storyline.

Cute! Very Hating Game. Loved the emphasis on healthy relationships, conservation, and women‘s empowerment. Had a little bit of everything and the pacing was pretty good too! I was meh over the reason they kept fighting & the insistence that Nikolai was creepy when he honestly seemed nice! (until the dancing 😂) Hungry for Graham Crackers now, ofc 😎

What a sad story. Beautifully written rollercoaster. I had a hard time thinking all this happened within one person‘s lifetime, but it was overall a powerful story about self-acceptance, control, love, penance. Lovely parallels of Evelyn growing in desirability the more she made herself small. Really highlights the lengths a person would go - and the sacrifices they‘d make - to both hide and achieve.

It was ok; I ended up just skimming through it for the sake of finishing. It was a little mechanical & hard to read when it got wordy in very British English. I liked their relationship, just wish we got to see it develop more. I also liked that her ex wasn‘t this evil stereotype. Also everybody seemed horribly sexist and judgy except Jamie?? Weird. He was the best character; I liked his vulnerability and honesty the most

🎅🏼 perfect holiday dosages for those of us who miss the Season 24/7. Very cute, lighthearted read. Finley was juggling so much at once, and I like that some of the conflict didn‘t need a happy ending - though most of them did get one, of course.

🧡 super cute! I really liked Gabe, Ollie, and Chani; their dynamic and the club scene were my favorite parts of this book! The sporadic articles in the middle of things was weird at first, but it helped give context. It was also never clarified whether Gabe was really similar or (creepily?) carving experiences to be what Chani had said she dreamed about. Like how the book shop was exactly her perfect day. Overall a fun, quick read 📚

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 so fun, a little extra with the fights and blocking and moving a whole mattress by yourself?!? 😰 Overall really enjoyable & loved their chemistry! Also, Jack being on their side was 👌🏼 fresh to see brothers not freaking out

I‘ll pick this up again eventually. As a massive super fan of Christina Lauren and someone who can read their books in a matter of hours, this one was hard to get into. It felt a little bit recycled with the flashback and the lost lovers. Not really what I‘m in the mood for. It hurts to say their books feel like the same now ☹️

Bailed. Not for me. Tried the audiobook and it was DEFINITELY not for me. Didn‘t feel the chemistry people talk about, though I liked the dates and fun dialogue. Just meh

Not my favorite by Adam Silvera, yet just as characteristically devastating and emotionally impacting as his newer books. It‘s wild and lovely to read his first publication and see how much he‘s grown as an author. One of my favs for sure! I definitely liked the ending more with the 2020 addition. There was something that made this book hard to finish; it was also so tragic and heavy. But fantastic message & symbolism

Nice! Enemies to lovers under one roof. I think a lot is missing because it‘s just a novella, but it‘s still a fun read. Love, love, love the Ace representation but not a fan of evasive talk during sex and STD questions.

If you can go with the flow and assume you won‘t understand *why* it all happened, this is a great book! Such a cute story & a fun loop that kept me grinning the whole time. Someone point me in the direction of the nearest empty pool ball pit!! 🎊

😍😍😍😍😍😍 soooo cute! Loved the sex positivity & variety in sexual expression (someone waiting for marriage, someone waiting for love, someone who didn‘t want to wait at all). Wished for more diversity in the characters. LOVE Keely + Andrew so much and could read a whole book about them two without anyone else. The personal growth👌🏼 and how they both ended up being the same 🔥 literally, Dean WHO?

NOT what I expected. Might need days to process or just be 🙅🏻‍♀️ Easy to binge but not lighthearted at all. It was interesting to see my view of Grace shift throughout. From being excited for her discovery, to seeing her as the villain, to getting hardcore Catcher in the Rye vibes. It‘s about painful self-discovery and trying to grow up. Didn‘t like the language of their insults & everyone treating a teacher/student relationship like it was ok

🫠🥰🥹 Beautiful ending!!!! I feel so happy we got to experience it. I love that every chapter of this felt like a big bomb of drama and longing. Even though their true feelings were OBVIOUS to us, I like that them not admitting it didn‘t feel they were clueless/ignorant, which kept the will-they-won‘t-they entertaining for me. Super likable characters & such a cute story!!

I need Becky & Adam to write EVERYTHING I ever experience from now on?? Their words sing together and paint such raw teens with really big love and messy feelings. I felt so frustrated at their fights but didn‘t expect them to solve it in any other way. Plus, I simultaneously want to be Dylan and have a best friend like him. I love love loved this little cheesy universe they created and don‘t ever want to leave its massive splendor 💕

💖 nice story! I‘d LOVE to read about these two in college and more of all the crazy antics. Friend double dates, super familiar stares, speaking with just their minds - beautiful true friends that developed so organically into more. Love love love Christina Lauren

I‘m a mess!!!!! I was afraid for Eadlyn and felt like these new books just didn‘t compare to the OGs, since we got slices of everyone and only sprinkles of her final choice. And then it ended and I believed in love and forever and beautiful families more than ever. I loved these books so much 💛 Maxon and his daughter‘s relationship was my favorite part! It also had just enough emphasis on past vs new characters

Engulfed this book in 3 hours because it‘s just that addicting!!! Getting to see Maxon and America as parents is even more beautiful than seeing them as kids. I really like the self-doubt parts (so relatable!!) and how lovely of a family they have. This selection seems more fun and chill (loved!! ⚾️), even if the guys are way more volatile. Except 50% of them are pure cinnamon rolls!! NEVER WANT THESE BOOKS TO END!!!

Terrifying super soldier experiments and horrible ways of killing scary creatures. This would definitely be a horror movie if it were ever adapted. Really like the characters and I love the emphasis on Talin‘s mom 💖 I don‘t think books focus on badass loving moms enough. Pretty good book, just not my fav from Marie Lu. Excited for pt 2!

It was fun! Super short and about 20% more rated R than I expected. Barely any character development, but enough for it to be fun and significant to the reader that they get together. I just don‘t know how realistic sailing through the frozen fjords a massive storm is (Titanic??) but Ali Hazelwood writes hilariously, making her books/novellas great

🥰 cute cute cute! There‘s probably one chapter of enemies and the rest was such a nice friendship that grew into something greater. Wes was the perfect guy. I loved how Liz would acknowledge it over and over and then be like “BUT NOT FOR ME.” Same girl 🤡
Overall, super adorable & easy to binge! Cue Paradise by Bazzi

😍😍😍😍 such a sweet, fluffy story. My heart is full and hopeful for this innocent love. Would be such a fun trip too and a beautiful way to meet incredible people 🚂

I really like the symbolism and intense family dynamics, but this wasn‘t for me. Got bored of the back and forth. Really liked the ending and overall an interesting story, just a lot of build up and really more of a story about the family, not the fire. It would be a GREAT show though!

🤩😭🫠 wow wow! Another book that‘s easy to breeze through. Rollercoaster of innocence, love, and loss; these poor kids. Makes the epilogue even more beautiful. I‘m so happy these books exist!! The political stuff makes more sense now but I still think it‘s not over!

Colleen Hoover books are a little overhyped for me. Yes, they‘re often entertaining and tell stories about topics people don‘t talk about enough, but a lot of the time it seems like she just repeats the same lines throughout. The beginning of this was fun & the end was heartbreaking, but the in-between felt like a lot of the same for me. It also seemed like the writing quality changed as the book was finishing. Overall a good read, just not a fav

I think this was one of the saddest CL books I‘ve read. The characters were so beautiful, and Macy + Elliot‘s friendship grew so naturally that their fallout hurt thrice as much. The layers and layers of grief and trauma are pounded in these pages (though it‘s sad that the horrible truth about Christian‘s party - including crying during the “next time” - wasn‘t acknowledged past what it meant for their relationship). And the last line?? 😭💙🫠

PAIN! ♥️ I love these kids so much yet don‘t know how to feel about their choices; some pages had me on their side, some had me conflicted. My trust issues alarm ignited when Mer was giving out info at the Italian party or whenever a guard did anything 😂 I feel something terrible brewing. Halloween party was 🥰 & the King 🫠 I see Maxton as this innocent bb and the last scene had me scared 🥲💛

UGH 😍😭 needed something like this to catapult me out of a bad book binge! So easy to fly through in a day or two & great, casual writing style. Hunger Games meets the Bachelor, especially at first, but it ends up becoming it‘s own fantastic story!! Loved and so ready to inhale ANYTHING by this author!

🥲 I liked the concept and the incredible representation through Stella, but it really read like a Wattpad story. The sex-crazy guys; the language used; the innocent, cluelessly gorgeous main, etc. Wasn‘t for me; found myself skimming before deciding to just put it down.

🤷🏻‍♀️ too focused on revenge + misunderstanding for me. The main‘s fears about her parents‘ relationship were really relatable; I also liked the representation with Wyatt‘s health challenges. Overall, just ok

I really missed reading John Green. This was a great story with lots of accurate OCD representation and the same beautiful gut-punch lines he‘s so fantastic at. It felt like seeing an old friend after years and years have passed: so much has changed but they still feel so familiar 💕
