I really enjoyed this poetry collection. I feel I’ll need to read it several more times to fully understand each poem. Overall, I recommend. 

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

1.5

The writing feels very rushed and the world building feels unfinished. The few moments that are planned are so heavy handed, I started to think I’m reading a children’s book. 

Beneath the Moon: Fairy Tales, Myths, and Divine Stories from Around the World by Yoshi Yoshitani

fast-paced

3.75

I loved all the stories but I wish they were longer. Each story only lasted one page, making it difficult to fit many details. This made some stories a bit confusing but also encouraged me to look into some stories more. Overall I enjoyed this collect very much. 

50 Shades Freed by E.L. James

1.0

Another unhealthy relationship but this time at least they’re mutually abusive. There are so many good books out there- I would never recommend this one to anyone lol. Also lots of scenes blatantly ripped off of Twilight. 

50 Shades of Grey by E.L. James

2.0

I read this in the height of COVID boredom and it is an intro to abusive relationships. Perfect adult parody of Twilight. I hated it. 

101 Poems About My Ex-Boyfriend by Trisha Paytas

sad

3.0

Very sad writing/ stories but very mediocre poetry and syntax. 

Writers & Lovers by Lily King

slow-paced

2.5

Run of the mill romance story, very slow paced. Some cute moments 

Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover

1.0

This book is told from the perspective of our abusive male love interest. Gross, predatory, and a lot of purity culture woven in.
