Finn & Ollie were so adorable! Finn’s instant over protectiveness and their chemistry had me swooning! These two fell hard and fast, and despite their differences they really balanced each other out so well.

I loved this book and can't believe this is her debut book. Can't wait for what is released next. Definitely one of my top reads of this year. Loved these two and watching their relationship grow.

Cali boy is a grumpy/sunshine stepbrother MM romance. 

I honestly cannot say no to a stepbrother apparently, because here I am devouring a YA read. 
This definitely reminded me why I stick with new adult. But it really was a light, low angst cute read. It's quite a short read too.

I didn't realize this was literal children when I picked this up. I thought it wouldn't matter but nope the highschool drama is not interesting to me.

I enjoyed this book, Finn is such a simp I love it. It just read kinda young, like the characters really seemed like teenagers and I'm just not in the mood. I will probably pick this up and finish it eventually.
