Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

funny inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

3.75

I really enjoyed this book. It was exactly what I needed at the exact point I needed it, a nice, fun read between two harder reads. It was fun, it was heartwarming, and it had me laughing at more that one occasion. I find myself really enjoying Ali Hazelwood's books, this is the third I've read and will continue to read more from this author. Her writing style just hits all the right spots for me.

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff
Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.

I just can't get into this, maybe it's a mood thing, but I'm putting this down as my first DNF of 2023.
