Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

5.0

This book ruined my life in all of the best ways. I didn’t wanna put it down. While Daisy and Billy were addicted to drugs, I’m addicted to this book. And also them. This is the first Taylor Jenkins Reid book I’ve read and now I have the urge to read every single one. I’m so excited for this show like you don’t get it. This was just too good. Thank you for ruining my life.

We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal

4.0

Hafsah Faizal you are a genius. This book started out a bit slow but once I got into it I was hooked. Where can I find a Nasir? Or Altair? Or Zafira? Actually, where can I find all of the heroes in this book because I think I’m in love? I had super high expectations and I wasn’t let down at all. I would give it a 4.5 if I could, but only because of the slow start which is pretty much guaranteed in a high fantasy book. So good!

The Deal by Elle Kennedy

5.0

No thoughts just Hannah and Garrett. I didn’t expect to like this, and there were a few lines I found to be distasteful, but I actually enjoyed it. I love me a good “trashy” romance and this had me squealing half the time, and also crying a bit. Kind of have the urge to read more now

Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

4.0

Okay so before I start, I just wanna say make sure to check TWs before you read because a few parts are a bit heavy. However, I surprisingly enjoyed this. I did not think I would enjoy blue aliens with ribbed dicks, but I was mistaken. This is definitely not the best book I’ve ever read, but I was surprised that the world building was pretty good and I was very invested

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

4.0

This book definitely lived up to the hype. I wish I could give it a 4.5 star rating, or maybe even 4.75. The beginning was a bit slow for me but the rest was very fast paced. Chloe and Red were so cute I caught myself blushing so many times I lost count. Pretty sure I squealed a few times

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

5.0

Okay so I’m crying while writing this, but I wanted to review it now because I can’t take my mind off of it. I literally tore through this book. I didn’t wanna put it down because it was just so good. I already read and loved Daisy Jones & The Six so I was looking forward to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. This was just so much better than I could’ve imagined. Like I was absolutely gutted by this book. I’m talking sobs that you can feel in your chest. However, I loved that it made me cry because it was so beautiful. Evelyn was such a complex character, and her love story will forever stick with me

These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

5.0

Romajuliette brainrot incoming. This was so good Chloe Gong you are a goddess. I can’t wait for Our Violent Ends (although I fear they may serve death trope...)

Tryst Six Venom by Penelope Douglas

5.0

Clayolivia brainrot incoming. No seriously, I am obsessed. I love them so much. Their chemistry was just too good. I need a novella of them living their lives together ASAP. Give me all the fluff (and just as much spice, obviously)

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

I’ve been putting this book off for a while because I saw a spoiler and I was hesitant to pick it up, but I’m glad I did. Did it break my heart? Yes, into a million little pieces. But it was so good, and I loved exploring these characters even more. It was so bittersweet

It All Comes Back to You by Farah Naz Rishi

5.0

I flew threw this book. I'm not kidding. I started it last night and finished it this morning. It was amazing. I felt so many things. I really enjoyed the humor in it as well. I find that a lot of authors use outdated Gen Z humor that just falls flat, but the humor in this was actually really great. I started this for the romance, but I was so invested in the plot as well. I think it was a really smart decision to include both POVs plus glimpses of their past and how it parallels their conversations now. Petition for a sequel about Amira and Faisal's life in California and Deen and Kiran's lives after college please? I need it immediately.
