I’m in love with this book, it made me laugh and it made me sad. I listened to the audiobook and I’m so glad I did, it felt like I was listening to the documentary of a real life band & at times I forgot they were fictional.

3.5
This was actually my second attempt at reading Blackout, I tried back in January but it just didn’t hook me in so I put it on pause for a while but then my inability to leave a book unfinished brought me back and I’m glad I saw it to the end. All the different love stories were super cute and I loved the representation throughout each one.
Truth and Lies by Caroline Mitchell
5.0
Amazing, absolutely loved this book! The story was so interesting and I couldn’t stop reading. So many twists & a satisfying ending. I chose it at random on Kindle Unlimited and I’m so glad I did! I can’t wait to read more of DI Amy Winters.

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper
3.5
Overall I did like the story, Thistle Grove was beautifully described and I loved the relationship between Emmy & Talia. However, it also felt dragged out and the reason for Emmy leaving town in the first place seems a bit… childish. The second half definitely had my attention more than the first half so I’m glad I did see it through to the end.
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
lighthearted
4.0
Such an easy read and a cute story, I flew through this in a day. I know I would’ve given this 5 stars had I read it 10 years ago. The vibes were immaculate and made me wish I could have a summer place like that, the only downside is the ending felt a little abrupt.
