Don’t should.
Who We Are in Real Life by Victoria Koops
As Dungeon & Dragons are being a big part of this novel, I was scared at first of not unerstanding a part of the storyline, as I’ve never played that before! However, as it’s a mild fantasy, it didn’t bothered me and I loved that story within our story. For some reason I thought this was a Graphic Novel because of the cover, but that’ okay- definately would’ve been nice to have images to the D&D quest however!

I was flabbergasted by both twist within the story, one for each present and past. The story was structured in a way where I was in agreeance of thinking it was X character.. that when later when the truth revealed itself to us, I wasn’t prepared!

I Didn't Know I Needed This: The New Rules for Flirting, Feeling, and Finding Yourself by Eli Rallo
Did not finish book. Stopped at 65%.

While it was good, and I got lots of good quotes, the chapters were way too long and it was taking me ages to read 😅
Le Petit Prince by L.P. Sicard

Je n’ai pas lut le petit prince original, mais cette lecture-ci a su m’impraigner. Jlétait prise dans le livre! Il m’est été dur toutefois de voir comment la marraine traitait son neveux… horrible.
The Headmaster's List by Melissa de la Cruz
retranscription in this novel, I had actually no idea! The whole “looking into answer of murder case gone wrong” mixed with true crime podcasts are really my jam!
I gotta say, I wasn’t thinking of this possibility at all as an ending! With the added effect of having someone not believing her version too!

See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon
What i’m not usually a fan of with time loops are that it gets redundant after a while.. but unlike « opposite of always », this one is a real time looping where the day always have the same elements. (Though OOF had few months and here we have a single day). I appreciate that we skip to the important parts instead of having to see the same things over and over after a while; just the new stuff and we moving on.
Gotta say the moment Barret went “nothing matters so lets fuck shit up” was an hilarious loop.. reading her shoving trash cans and yelling wierd stuff going in an out of random classes? Hilarious! 😂 I did need a break with another book in-between however, as the looping started to be a little too long to my liking (- 0,5 stars).. I did wanted to finish it however as I grew attached to Barret & Miles and wanted to know how the loop ended.
Ofcourse the answer was there the whole time- im so happy this looping had an answer! Unlike opposite of always though I almost chucked the book at the wall, scared me shitless I needed to check the ending to make sure. I promise this one had a good ending, thank goodness.

Charlotte Illes Is Not a Detective by Katie Siegel
I love the relationships in this book! Friendships between Charlotte, Gabe & Lucy that we can really see them going through though times and getting out stronger aswell as family bond with Charlotte and her brother Landon.
I love the storyline having a grown up detective! Idk why, but I was getting vibes of Herlock Sholmes & Iris Watson from the great ace attorney game mixed with Enola holmes.
