Penalized Love by Emery Paige

funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

Although it's not the biggest part of the book, this really made me miss my mom. Having that one person by your side supporting you and making sure you're heard and that doctors aren't dismissing you. No one knows your body more than you and there's nothing more infuriating than knowing something is wrong but not knowing why or what.

I loved the PCOS rep. Just cause you can't see someone's illness manifest physically doesn't mean it's not there and that they aren't suffering. 

This was such a sweet story, Asher was so caring and everything a partner should strive for. Always keeping her fav snacks on deck, bringing her some goodies when she wasn't feeling good and making sure she was ok and comfortable and just being there for her. He made sure she was a priority and really redeemed himself.

This was unlike anything I could of expected. This is one book you need to go in blind for to get the full experience. Sit down, get cozy, and buckle up for the ride of your life. This book is equally thrilling and devastating and hopeful. Deff a new fav read 

Blót by Izzy Ravas, Izzy Ravas

4.0

If Izzy writes it, I'm eating it up. Every single time! I love the fact that I can always count on Izzy to bring folklore and mythology to life and deliver it in such a delicious way. We love a badass fearless goddess.  I learn things I never knew and get to scratch that dark itch in my brain.  Blót was fantastic.

What do you get when you 

1. mistakenly give the cute guy at the coffee shop your number (when he was hitting on the barista)
+
2. add in some sexual harassment from a boss who can't take no for an answer.
+
3. Make an agreement to attend a holiday party in order to get said biss to back off??

The meet cute, the flirtiness, the despicableness of this man 🤣😍 I'm so here for the fake dating trope, cause the whole time you know they both got it BADDDD for the other, and it's just a matter of when are they both or one going to come to their senses.
