5.0
I enjoyed reading about my favorite 2000s Disney Channel shows/movies and the stars. Many things brought to light!
Powerless by Elsie Silver

This might be my favorite of the Chestnut Springs series! Parts still felt slow but overall I loved Sloane & Jasper! A lot of my favorite tropes!

I loved the overall mysteryish plot this book had. There were a lot of characters but each had their own personality so no one felt lost in the mix. The growth of characters were done well. Overall a really great read.

What the hell was it about a backward baseball cap that made me feel seventeen again?

Read for nostalgia purposes. Loved this one as a kid and still holds up as a cute comfort read.
Scythe & Sparrow by Brynne Weaver

Good plot, loveable characters, fun setting. I still think nothing will beat Butcher & Blackbird. I really enjoyed that this storyline was intermixed with the other two. It was fun to be reminded of the other two stories and go "I remember when that happened!".
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
5.0
If you like Bojack Horseman, you will like Matthew Perry's memoir. That's all I could think of while listening to him talk about his highs, lows, and everything. Granted, I realize Bojack Horseman is based on Hollywood life and struggles but to actually listen about it in Matthew Perry's book really hit hard. I appreciate he took the time and effort to write his memoir, I never realized how low he was across the years.
How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang
4.75
This book was not what I expected...but almost in a good way. The grieving journey and character growth was fantastic. Grief was perfectly depicted, even a decade later after the incident. I felt the sibling loss grief, it was hard to read through at times, but Helen's growth and processing over the years was done so well. And even Grant's growth and how he was affected by the incident and his mental health struggles and ptsd was depicted so well! Overall, a well done emotional but still a cute romantic read.

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood
5.0
This might be my new favorite Ali Hazelwood. I loved everything about this! It's a good "soft kink/bdsm" intro. I typically don't like college set romances but the focus wasn't so much about college as it was being a student athlete in a scientific field/major. Speaking of, adored the Adam & Olive cameo throughout! This had great banter, steam, and character growth. Also, I loved how realistic the epilogue was.
