This book should be titled What Did I Read...
Book one I listened to on Audible and felt like this is a book that knows it's not great but is like a train wreck you can't look away from. Also, the narrator did a great job early on making the MC seem a little unhinged like someone who's trying to convince themself their mask is real, so the "twist" ending was satisfying in that I was right and she was not "JUST A SCIENTIST GOSH DARNIT!!"
This one was like that awkward interaction with someone you went to school with who you accepted a friend request from on social media to be nice, but immediately regret once you see they post every thing about their life to the point it's obnoxious and so you unfollowed them, but then you see them at TJ Maxx, and they start talking to you about all the things they've up to and all the plans they've made because you’re "friends" and you should already know, all the while inside you're thinking wtf are you talking about, yet just standing there with a confused smile plastered to your face nodding over and over until it's f i n a l l y freaking over. Like that sentence. I did finish it solely to meet my reading goals and not have time *totally* wasted.
PSA: let me be your example, don't waste your time.

I do really like the cover though

I was fairly excited for this book after reading “How Does It Feel?” However, this was hard to get through. I almost DNF’d, and I never do that. I pushed through, but I feel like it was a waste of time to have finished when I have so many other books on my TBR for this month.
First thing, the spelling/grammar errors were so terrible! Is there not an editor besides Microsoft Word? If there is, they need to be fired expeditiously. No hate to Jeneane, but I expect so much more from an author.
Second thing, what even happened? There was so much happening, but why/how? I feel like we got everything and nothing at all.
Whether I finish this series when the other books are released remains to be seen.

Spice Rating: 🌶️ 🌶️
Info dumping, inconsistencies, and voyeurism... oh my!
As the second book in the Infatuated Fae series (the series title gets mentioned in this book!), What Did You Do? follows Caly as she travels to the Seelie realm to reunite with her "family:" the queen and Eli.She's also hoping to be reunited with her heart. As she spends more time with the Seelie royals, Caly discovers secrets, and people, that were meant to stay buried.
I felt there was too much info dumping in this novel that could've been spread out within book 1. I also find the characters lacking depth, as they are mainly created around shallow tropes (e.g., not like other girls, golden retriever, villain). There were some twists that caught me off guard and some things that disgusted me... just like the first book.
Was I the biggest fan of book 1? No. Was I really hoping this one would be better after that twist ending? Yes. Alas, it did not meet my expectations. Will I keep reading the next books just to see what happens? .... probably.
