A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
I adored this intro to this series! I was definitely fearful of the hype surrounding it and that it might not live up to the hype for me. But the writing style SJM uses sucked me right in. I was so invested in Feyre and how she became to be who she is.
And though I'm writing this after reading the second book in the series, I was very glad there wasn't a ton revealed about the courts that existed. This allows for so much growth and details to come.

A Life For a Life by Carol Wyer
3.0
This book was a bit difficult to get into as it jumped around quite a bit. I am typically very into crime based novels, but this one just did not capture me as I thought it would.
My difficulty with following could potentially be due to the different verbiage between the USA and the UK, but I still felt like there was a lot of back & forth that didn’t connect the dots for me.

Verity by Colleen Hoover
4.0
Well I sped through this book because I was extra nosey & needed more of Verity’s autobiography. I felt like I was getting to the bottom of a crime, but then there wasn’t one? I ended up feeling more confused by the end of the novel than when it started.
All of these questions still remain:
- What did Verity get out of being an invalid for months?
- How did Crew manage to keep quiet about his mom *not* being an invalid?
- Does Jeremy just enjoy impregnating people? He seems to not care if birth control is present/in use.
- What are Verity’s novels actually about?
- Was any of the autobiography true? Was any of the letter true?
- Wtf?

The Comfort Book by Matt Haig
5.0
Matt Haig takes us inside his brain and gives us his thoughts that bring him comfort. It is scattered, just as our thoughts typically are, and I loved it.

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
3.0
The love story felt like it was nothing and then everything very quickly - so I do wish there had been a bit more of a build. And there were moments that were fairly predictable (the Twitter-ship between WWMD & Schmac), but I did enjoy the twist towards the end (I won’t spoil it for those who want to/will read it)!
I really enjoyed Bee and found myself laughing at multiple points in the book with how things were phrased. So many good similes!!
