2.5 because the main guy had a good development and went to therapy so go you but nothing special just cute and fast paced and i didn't really connected to the characters, im kinda sad because it wasn't a bad book just maybe not for me but you can try it, it was cute and yeah

another easy cute small town read!! gavin's been my fave since day one and i was so excited for his book and it didn't disappoint! there was more to gavin that we actually saw in the other books and finally seeing him struggled and finally excepting that he might not truly remember his parents, that they loved him deeply and he wasn't really the "not expecting baby" that he thought, really happy for him and for him to finally found someone who completes him, like skylar who is such an opposed to him, she's more shy and more anxious person, but the way they start as friends and he challenges her and inspires her to go out more and do some "trouble" with him its actually so fun!! i feel like i left skylar, about crowds and people she doesn't really know and how shy she is to meet new people, i mean im a little better but that's me for sure so i really loved skylar and after spending months without writing and with no inspiration, sooo glad gavin helped her and her going back to the small town helped too and im so happy eheh she deserves it and the world, she really is strong and has an amazing mind i could read her books, tho im not the biggest thriller person haha
also now im even more excited for logan's book, after that epilogue i know it was cara sooo lets go, their banter and their sexual tension is going to be on fire and i can't wait!!! and ok i wasn't expecting to be invested in skylar's parents story but damn they kinda a little stole the show ok, really liked that they got to reconnect and finally got together again it was really fun and cute not gonna lie!! loving this series, this family is everything! thought they were going to be my faves but i think asher and grace still have that place andkd tho skylar and gavin definitely come second! let's see the rest ehehe

so easy and fast paced to read, read it in like a day and it was really fun!! really interesting to see what's next and specially seeing all the other characters from vicious lost boys ehehe roc and hook are so funny together and how roc is always flirting with hook and hook pretending he doesn't like it but he totally does so fun! wendy was interesting too, like that she is a fighter and is so strong and she keeps getting stronger and love that for her!! nothing out of this world, nothing exceptional or anything but it's fast paced and entertaining so i really liked it!! can't wait for more!

i got an arc for this thank you for the opportunity!

this book wasn't something out of this world, i didn't get really attached to the main characters but to be honest?? the side characters and specially ben's brothers?? and ben's best friend brooks?? oh yeah i need their books !!
gillian and ben were childhood sweethearts and ben left the small town leaving gillian heartbroken but after living his dream he comes back and wants to make amends with his family but obviously with gillian too and their journey was cute and good, gillian having a son and everyone thinking it's ben's was actually funny and gillian's bond with clayton, her son was beautiful wish i they had more scenes but still good! ben's family were also one of the best parts of the book, specially his dad idk he was such a baddie and making their sons work for it it's so funny!! 
im not in love with gillian and ben, again they were cute, i just think it happened a little too fast you know i needed more growling haha but yeah it was a quick cute read and i love small town romances so I might not be totally obsessed but liked it and i am interested in reading about the other characters too, specially jude and sadie best friends to lovers it's the best so i am excited!!

OBSESSED OBSESSED OBSESSED im as obsessed with them as ford was with rosie since he met her im sorry i had to!!! 
rosie and ford had such a great banter since the beginning, the whole childhood frenemies and then as adults after a decade without seeing each other they go back to normal and like no time has passed, they still are mean to each other (in a funny bantery way haha obviously) then ford always being in love with rosie was magnificent, her not noticing was also funny but she could be mean to him but as soon as someone talked bad to him or about him she was there to defend him with all she has and i think that's beautiful!!!!
ford is such a grump and kinda closed off but deep down he loves deeply and cares so much and always protects the one he truly loves and he's a little nerdy man ehehe I love it! rosie is also happy and kind and not wanting to hurt anyone but still could kill you if you hurt the people she cares the most about and they just complete each other 
cora a twelve year old, ford's daughter who he meets when she's at his door claiming to be his daughter creates such a strong bond with ford and they connect deeply through music and it was so good to see, also she ends up getting closer to rosie, how rosie ends up picking her up from school and they connect, it was amazing!
rosie's brother and ford's best friend west was s comic relief in the book, wish i had more scenes with him but oh god the bowling team he created?? so funny i just can't! also loved how he totally knew ford was so down bad for his little sister, how she was always oblivious about ford's feelings and then as adults she finally realises ford it's the man of her dreams, how he truly is someone who challenges her and how she challenges him and god they complete each other like perfection, so west saw all that for sure and it was fun how ford was always so afraid to tell him the full truth haha i am glad west's reaction was that and not like mad or something 
idk every single character in this book eat and seeing willa how i missed her!! and the sneak peak of west's book? skylar and him are also going to be so funny and i can tell the banter it's going to be a killer so im so so excited!! 
im so glad i finally read them and im so so in love with them, my annotations says totally that and i had so much fun!! rosie finally founding her place and being the happiest!!

i can't believe i finished this on the day i went to see taylor swift damn!! but again what a book, what a ride and so much fun and so easy to read! im a little bit obsessed with pip and ravi not gonna lie and all these mysteries that pip tries to "solve"!! they make such a good team ugh the little romantic moments between them were everything!! this one pip tries to find connor's older brother when he goes missing and discovers even deeper and darker secrets kinda reminded me of like dean form the naturals and his story damn!! love how at the beginning we think its because of something and then pip uncovers deeper secrets and BOOM it's another, i mean genius indeed!but overall i loved it, couldn't put the book down everytime i pick it up and its such a easy and intriguing and mysterious read you just want more and more!! but specially more of ravi because he is the best eheh, i love pip obviously but ravi truly has my heart!! pip for such a young girl, she's already so fearless and selfless i love her!! then we have ravi who is the calm to her storm i love how complete they make each other, truly wonderful and so cute!!! go read this series i promise it's good and it might be young adult but it just grabs you and you can't let it go!!

really liked it, magnus and alec are everything i love them with all of my heart and they mean the world, finally read their book so excited for the next one but at the same time kinda disappointed because at times i was bored it's not 100% bad obviously but still bored! 
the plot twist was fun and seeing raphael and his scene with alec at the party was definitely one of the best parts of the book, that man is so relatable haha it's insane! then aline and helen helping alec was fun too!! seeing tessa aaa my baby was so good, also catarina loss, even johnny rook and malcom fade was fun so the book was good not amazing but still good and enjoyable! at the end, alec and magnus at the cutest scenes ugh i love them so much!!!! so yeah im happy i finally read it!!
