Went into this looking for a cute romance, got whacked with a serving of loss and grief and magic ✨ I should’ve known I’d cry, considering Poston’s The Dead Romantics was just as lovingly and beautifully written, and made me cry. through 7 tissues. And just like I did in TDR, I saw a little bit of myself in Clementine 🥺

Sweet, easy read with lots of predictable turns. I enjoyed the time travel piece, it reminded me somewhat of “What the Wind Knows” by Amy Harmon.

I went into the book thinking I wasn’t going to like it and wound up giggling to the pages. This is such a sweet, quick read that is predictable enough you feel in on the plot with characters that keep you around for more. My favorite of all her books.

This dragged on for me. I liked the concept and it kept reminding me of always be maybe and obviously the lake house and I think both of those movies do it better. It wasn’t a long book but any time I took a pause and saw how much was left it was discouraging. It was alright overall but not a favorite

2.5 ⭐️

in the minority again with this one but… here we are with another 2.5 star read. This book had me for like the first 30-40% but once they met in the presence it just lost me. I didn’t feel any chemistry between them, the insta-love took me out because yes while it’s 7 years they really fell in love in like 4 days?? sigh i really wanted to love this one but sadly it’s a no from me
