Every Last Secret by A.R. Torre

4.0

Wowwww, I truly forgot how much I love a thriller! The twists and the turns in the book had me hooked from about half way through and from half way through I absolutely sped through this masterpiece of a book! I COULD NOT figure out what was going on / who done it right until the very end and I love that about a thriller😍

Terms and Conditions by Lauren Asher

4.5

After reading The Fine Print I KNEW I had to read the whole serious and more of Lauren Asher's books! I loved The Fine Print and I think, im going to love the whole Dreamland series (well, I am a Disneyland gal after all). The character development was my favourite part of this book, seeing how the characters changed and also showed their true colours throughout the book was everything I could want and more.

One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid

4.5

Woweeeee I love TJR so much, if I ever need to get out of a slump TJR is my go too! I was hooked on this book from the very beginning, I loved the characters and how engaging the entire story was. I really didn't see where the end was going and I loved both relationships Emma Blair had, so would have been happy with either outcome but also, I'm so glad she chose who she did. 

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

slow-paced

2.0

I REALLY struggled with this book, I'm not sure if it's because I'm in such a reading slump at the moment or if it was just too YA for me, I found the story quite difficult to follow around the last 3rd of 'book 1' which I whizzed through and then when I got to 'book 2' I lost it. This was almost a DNF for me but I'm glad I finished it. Hoever, fantasy is not my usual genre and maybe just fantasy based around royalty isn't for me? I am going to persevere and try and read more fantasy books this year for sure. 

A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole

4.5

This book had me emotional from page 5 and sobbing by the end, wow! Rune and Poppys story is beautiful yet so so so heartbreaking! I don't really have anymore words for this one other than wow.
The only reason this isn't a 5 for me is because of the writing size and the length of the chapters, everything else was absoloutly perfect💓

Things We Hide From The Light by Lucy Score

5.0

LUCY SCORE HAS DONE IT AGAIN! I absoloutly adored everything about this book and think it was the perfect carry on to 'Things We Never Got Over' I love the characters and how they continued to develop all the way throughout this story, whilst it being completely different to the first one. I loved learning more about Nash Morgan and loved seeing his relationship with Lina explode like it did😍😍 
5/5 for spice levels🌶️

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

3.0

I have finally finished this book after 2 weeks of trying to get through it. I was really hoping I would love this book more than I did. In the beginning Ove really reminded me a little bit of my grandfather with his grumpiness and the things he would do or say, but as the boom went on I just found him a little bit too miserable right up until the last couple.of chapters. 
I'm sad to give this book such a mid rating as it was so highly anticipated for me, I loved the concept but I think it dragged on a little too much for me personally.

Just Got Real by Jane Fallon

4.0

I loved this book!!!! The only reason it's not a 5⭐ for me is due to the fact for the first third of the book I wasn't sure on the writing style but my god it picked up!!! This book follows Joni, Saffy and Mary who all have one thing (or man) in common, Ant. I LOVED the girl power in this book and seeing these 3 women come together and make the BEST trio against sleazy Ant!

Goldilocks by L.R. Lam

3.0

Up until around page 200 of this book I was really nottttt enjoying it! I'm not sure if that is because it's not my usual genre or if I just wasn't connecting with the characters but the last third of this book had me absoloutly hooked, I didn't see anything coming in this book but looking back everything was soooo obvious!! This book has been sat on my shelf for a little while and I'm glad I decided to read it now! Would 1000% recommend if sci-fi is your usual genre⭐

The Fine Print by Lauren Asher

5.0

My first 5 star of 2023 and wowwww I adored this book! If you love a grumpy x sunshine workplace romance then this is for sure the book for you! When I picked this book up it was mainly because I'm Disney obsessed and this sounded like it could be similar to Disney and oh boy was I right, Disney with a very romantic twist! I was so invested in the characters and how things would pan out between them and I can safely say, it did not dissapoint!
