Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton
4.0
I cant even put a normal rating on this book, nor the Hunting Adeline one. I 've been sitting on waiting to write a review for them, for about one week after finishing both... no, after I devour both. But I can't put a simple star rating for neither of them.
This is so dark that it makes the fact that I liked the writing and the storytelling weird. The fact that some people fantasize about Zate, makes everything even more weird and leaves me with a weird feeling about our life choices.
H.D. Carlton writes perfectly, the stories are smart, and the keep you up in night.
Read the TW and please read this with an open mind, without making abuse something romantic.

Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun
4.0
I love when queer books aren't about coming out, accepting their identity etc. I love discovering more and more books that treat their LGBTQ characters normal, like they are part of the community and society.
Yes is a cheesy rom com, with ideas taken from MLF love stories but I like the fact that I can finally relax and listen to a story about queer people without the coming out stress etc.
Yes it's predictable - to a certain degree - yes everything is too easy, etc but if you need a palate cleanser after a hard book, look no further

I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
4.0
I hate giving this book a 4 ⭐, I would loved for it to be a 5, but I do feel that compared to the other 2 books of Casey McQuiston this is less interesting and fun.
Let's put it this way, this felt more like the idea of a teen series than a book, and if it was that, I would have bidged the series in a night!
Don't get me wrong, I still listen to it in 2 days and wanted to get to the ending but I felt there were moments that it was dragging to long and nothing interesting was happening.
In the beginning it was fun and interesting but the second half not so much. I still love this writer and I anticipate her next books and ideas.

You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao
3.0
My heart... my soul... I want to give Julie a big hug and hold her close.
While I was reading this book I was thinking of all the stages of grief, of all the different ways a person will grief, and how a simple thing can make you feel guilty for a life for something you never controlled. And the way grief was lived through the phone calls was excellent as an idea, but I wish we had more clear imagine of the two of them together and more plot on Julie's life after.
Its really difficult to put a star rating on this book. I think the idea was good, the writing the same, but the story lacked interest and the way it was written didn't help me love the characters in it. There were moments that I was bored, but I never felt the need to DNF, but it was a slow read.
I have to give it to the author though, that his idea behind the phone calls was excellent and I would love to read more books by him as he grows into his writing style.
