What was this? This was insane. I've been telling everyone about it. I don't know if it's good but I can't stop thinking about it so it's getting points for being original and also true to history. I might recommend it.

I don't like Jules, she's the most annoying character ever. Josh is cute though.

This one was cute. I'm at a point where I can't remember which of these books is which.

This series was so cute and I really liked this book in particular! The farther I get into this world the more I like it. I would love to watch this as a Vampire Diaries/Gilmore Girls-esque TV show with all the quirky characters and little plots. The crossover from other books is really fun too. The plot to this one was more original than I thought it was going to be and it was very fun to read.

I like this series a lot but this book didn't really stand out to me compared to others. I do like these characters, but I wish they had more depth to them. It felt like it was there and we just didn't get to see it.

I really didn't love these characters and there was a lot of places where I felt like it could have been more interesting. The problem was solved too easily.

I like Ana Huang's writing a lot but this book wasn't my favorite. The characters felt flat compared to others in the same series and the conflict wasn't very conflicting in my opinion. Still a fun, easy read

Ugh I love this series! I actually wasn't initially going to read this one because Cal has never been my favorite in the other books but I think now he's my favorite of all the Kane brothers. There are a lot of sensitive topics in this book that I think are handled honestly and fairly well. I appreciated that. There are also some very sweet and romantic moments that I really needed. I loved it a lot.

I watched this movie as a kid but never read the book. It was a work read for me, but fun and engaging none the less, with a great lesson about facing fears and battling inner demons in it. As a self proclaimed weirdo, I wish I had read this sooner. I think 10 year old me would have really liked it too.
