“Obviously. Fuck that Guy. Nobody puts Kathy in a Corner”

This was a great story covering the grief of losing someone, even if it happened over 10 years ago. I feel like grief is never really represented in this way and it’s lovely to see Hannah write Lane’s character so well. Hannah did a wonderful representation of what it’s like to live with anxiety, and how there is never really a ‘fix’. I truly fell in love with both Matt and Lane

I was recommended this author and I am so grateful I read this book! Warren and Chloe are amazing and caring characters. As someone in a family who went through the process of fostering a family member seeing the characters go through the same steps and emotions that we went through was very refreshing. The emotions of being so relieved one minute and walking on eggshells the next was represented very well. It was very nice to see characters that aren’t perfect and just trying their best. I cannot wait to read the rest of Hannah’s books!

Hannah writes an amazing book AGAIN! This book was truly wonderful. I fully fell in love with Halle and ended up relating to her on a deeper level then I was expecting to when starting the book. Henry is just as amazing as he is in the last two books but somehow Hannah showed us truly how caring and kind he is. I will say Hannah has this skill to be able to write some of the most infuriating men *cough* Will

Ahhh Casey an amazing book as ALWAYS!! I’ve been so excited for this book since it was announced and it completely lived up to my expectations! The concept of two broken up lovers being forced to seeing each other again for over a month was amazing!! I loved all the ups and downs Theo and Kit went through during the trip. Sometimes the insta love becomes too much so seeing closer to IRL relationship was very refreshing.

I really loved this book!! It definitely felt like a Wattpad/fan fiction style of writing that I know not everyone enjoys but I really did! I fell in love with Ollie straight away but was very weary of Carter at first. I wasn’t a big fan of how Carter was not taking Ollie’s no in the beginning of the book. Due to that and just how much Ollie being short was brought up I had to dock my rating a star. As someone of around the same hight, it does often come up but it just felt a bit excessive at sometimes. I still very much enjoyed the book, and am looking forward to continuing the series!!

Absolutely AMAZING!! I loved this book sooooo much! Lennon and Jaxon are adorable, and mitts is the new love of my life. I feel like Becka did really well describing what it’s like to live with someone who has severe allergies and how terrifying it can be. i was dying when Jaxon was saying good bye to all his food with nuts in it. i love how respectful Becka treated Jaxon’s kinda obvious PTSD, my only complaint is that this boy is in desperate need of some therapy. I cannot believe that ending! I went from being in tears to laughing so hard!!

I really enjoyed this book! I was a bit worried I wouldn’t love it as much as I enjoyed Icebreaker but it lived up to my expectations!! The whole book was adorable and I loved the way Hannah handled both of their daddy issues! Very realistic of what happens in real life. I love the way Russ’ dad’s addiction was handled it felt very respectful while still addressing the pain Russ was going through. Easy to say I loved Rory and Russ’ love story and can wait to read the next!!

Honestly picked up as a joke? I heard all the hate about it and was like “I could use a laugh” and now I’m preordering the special edition??? I’m a sports romance girly now??? Anastasia was kinda annoying at some points? I definitely can see where she was coming from though. I LOVED THE HOCKEY BOYS!! I saw some people say that the side characters were too much but I loved all of them!! Definitely just a fun little romance that felt like reading fan fiction. Which - at least in my opinion - was very welcomed! I will say I wasn’t a fan of the surprise pregnancy at the end? They had a whole conversation about how stas doesn’t want children? Just felt a bit weird Can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series!!
