Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand
5.0
Wouldn't dare think of giving it under 5 stars... I am absolutely reading anything else by her! Amazing storytelling and what an unbelievable story.
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
3.5
This was sweeeet! Nothing crazy... just a sweet story. It was pretty heavy handed but that seemed intentional. The author at one point wrote "that's a bit on the nose is it" and so I was like okay so it's on purpose. I enjoyed this! It was slow and not super interesting really but it was good vibes. While childlike, I enjoyed the descriptors!
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
5.0
This was soooo good. Like I was getting Emily Henry vibes tbh and that's amazing for moi! I did the audiobook and the narrator really elevated it imo. I'm sure I would've loved it if I'd read it but I'm really glad I listened to this one! Def going to listen to her other books which tbf were already on my tbr so 😁
You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi
2.75
I loved this book at the start but the way the story went realllly didn't work for me. It was written so well and I'm interested in reading more by the author for sure, but this was rough. I did the audiobook and somewhere around chapter 19-20 I gave up and skipped to the last chapter.
I'm generally pretttty uninterested in age gap romance. It does not appeal to me and is hard for me to feel positively about, even in fiction. And then adding the context of it was even grosser for me tbh. Huge bummer because I felt so good about this the first part and was so excited but definitely a miss for me overall

A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost
4.5
I laughed out loud several times! This was very fun. One gripe I have with basically all memoirs is the last couple chapters tend to fall flat. Like I just get bored! But this was a really fun quick listen
Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier
4.5
This was really good! I loved the intertwining angle of the same story and them coming together. Would love to read more by this author!
Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
4.5
I realllllly really liked this! It also had me laughing out loud (I listened) despite the story also having some very not funny and more serious elements. Enjoyed thoroughly !
Really Good, Actually by Monica Heisey

I looooovvvveeedddd this book. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is bc the epilogue was kind of dumb? Like it was so unnecessary, pointless, etc. I would love to read anything else she writes tbh!
