Definitely more of a like than a love. I think the premise of this was very fun and I’m always here for some magical realism and a romance book. I do think it was a bit too long and the bouncing between worlds got a little confusing. My favorite part was all of the additional mixed media.

Okay so I genuinely don’t know if I enjoyed this one, but it held my attention. It reads like a stream of consciences, which at times felt confusing and to be honest I still don’t know fully what just happened.. I think it pays tribute to the slasher genre and a really fun

Book two did not disappoint!! I loved the immediate connection and the tension!! Did not love that Ada gave pick me energyyyy but I forgive her because Wes won her over! Needless to say I’m thoroughly enjoying these books and I definitely did just pre-order book 3!!
Over the Influence by Joanna "JoJo" Levesque

challenging dark hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced
I don’t rate memoirs! Wow I really didn’t know what to expect but this memoir goes there! Jojo is someone I grew up loving (I used to vote for her on trl) so this was really interesting to see that not all glitters is gold. It’s really another cautional tale of young fame. I appreciate how raw and honest she was and this was really much  darker than I anticipated!! Definitely recommend

Just like the other ones, this one is very spicy and full of emotion. I didn’t gravitate towards these characters as quickly as the others, but I did love the Friends to Lovers to will they won’t they? But I did hate the indecision and the self-doubt.. Also Matt did feel too good to be true (which makes sense since hes fictional!

I’ve had this one on my shelf for too long and I’m so glad I finally got to it. Of course in true Rosie Danan fashion, this one was hot, hot hot. But it was also super sweet, and I love seeing the other side of Naomi.. Ethan and her were the perfect grumpy sunshine. This is the perfect book if you are coming off of a nobody wants this journey.

Everyone said I would love this book and everyone was right. The last paragraph had me in tears. This is a story about sisters, but it cut so deep. It really makes you appreciate the ups and downs of family… the good, the bad, and the ugly. This one is going to stay with me for a while.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
Life is too short for books you aren’t enjoying. I think I expected more murder mystery and less Taylor swift

I’m a pretty big fan of this author, but I gotta say I thought this one was just fine. If you want a girl power feminist vampire story this is a fun one… but I think it was lacking a little plot. That being said, I love her writing style and I thought these characters were very fun. It’s a little gory, but it is a vampire book after all!
