Wes Bennett has my whole heart. 

Loved that we got to continue the story or Libby and Wes but it was not truly necessary in my personal opinion but I'm not complaining about getting more Wes content.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

Felt like the same plot as the first book. Wasn't in the mood for mystery.

Emily Henry never disappoints. I love her writing style so much. I really enjoyed reading this book, it wasn't a storyline I've ever read so it was really fun and different.

Firestarter by Stephen King
Did not finish book. Stopped at 49%.

Too long and didn't really liked how much unnecessary detail was given. Was an intriguing story line but not enough for me to want to finish it.

It's not your average mystery book which is why I enjoyed it so much. Lots of twist and the story line is well written that at the end it didn't have me wanting more but I'm excited to read the next two books in the series. Also it was a good amount of suspenseful. I had to put it down to process and remember it's just a book. Lol
