Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

3.0

This was just ok for me. I really didn’t get the hype. Didn’t like the Harry Potter rip off and the carry on portion was just kind of all over the place.

When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon

5.0

Such a cute story! I loved the cultural diversity and the characters were so lovable.

Yes Please by Amy Poehler

5.0

I highly recommend listening to the audio while reading along with this one. It is so perfect to hear her tell the story and while I was hoping it would be funnier it was a beautifully written book. I appreciated how it showed her serious side and how not everything was easy, but everything was doable.

The Hundred-Year House by Rebecca Makkai

1.0

I don't think I've ever rated a book this low. Mostly because I just don't finish them. But I was determined.... not sure why. The story was all over the place, there were no characters that you wanted to root for, and honestly it was just poorly written. Sad because I really wanted to like it but unfortunately it's a hard pass for me.

becoming. by Renaada Williams

4.0

There were some really great poems with a lot of depth. However, all the grammatical errors really peeved me.

We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

3.0

Kinda on the fence about this one. I'm not one to be into sci-fi but I don't even know if this can be classified as scifi... The characters were equally lovable and cringe-worthy but I didn't really understand what the ending was about. I mean did it hit? Was it going to? Was it all just mass hysteria that turned the world into a dystopia... who knows.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

Want to talk about a plot twist! I have no idea why I've waited this long to read so many of her novels. She really is the queen of mystery!

Closed Casket by Sophie Hannah

3.0

Good but the back and forth got old and you can certainly tell it’s a ghost writer

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

2.0

Honestly, this really wasn't my kind of book. It was so hyped and just didn't deliver for me personally.

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

2.0

Not really a fan to be honest.

Idk if I'm just not into the domestic drama and kindergarten feuds but overall the caddy and childish stuff just bored me.

It wasn't until the last like 20 pages that I actually cared about what was going on. Don't see the hype at all
