3.0

This book started off so well but around 33% it got boring and dragged until the last 20%. This book was funny at parts and very Hermione/Draco coded which I liked. I liked how it had its own world building and was more or less just inspired by Harry Potter and not copy paste but change some names of things. I will admit that the ending confused me and I don't know if I will continue on.

This book was the best Taylor Jenkins Reid book I've read yet. This story was so sad but also so real and it brought tears to my eyes but also laughter.

This book was like a combination of Gossip Girl and Carrie Soto is Back....but make it ice skating. The passion and drive of the chracters and the relationships built in this book were top tier.

 I enjoyed this book and the humor/cuteness of it helped partially get me out of my reading slump 

The Half King by Melissa Landers
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

I think I am in a reading slump. I did previously try this book and didn't like it then either.

Exquisite Ruin by AdriAnne May
Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.

This book bored me so much and I read reviews from people and they said it bored them too and that the twist at the end is weird and confusing. 

In Good Company by Kat Singleton
Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

I thought I would like this book but I think I'm tired of the trope "he acts like a child and has to get what he wants just because he's rich"
