”Nope. I wasn’t going to make it. I would blow like a two-pump-chump, and my badass reputation would be ruined entirely.”

this one started out really good and the spice was out of this world but it definitely got a bit excessive and cringey at times. i definitely like the first book in the series more and i appreciated the quinn and parker cameos. QUINN GRANT?! HELLO?!
this one felt really different compared to the first book and idk what it is i cant put my finger on it. but alas, i read it very quickly

Daydream by Hannah Grace
omg this book was so sweet? i didn't realize how much i was anticipating henrys book till wildfire and it did not disappoint. halle and henry were so cute I LOVED THEM SOOO much. i loved seeing all the cameos from the past couples in the maple hills series it was so refreshing. i for one miss nate and stassie so much.
i honestly wish the epilogue took place later but it was still cute nonetheless.

Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
my first ali hazelwood book and I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT PICKING UP A BOOK OF HERS SOONER? WHAT IS THIS???
i LOVED this book so much. like i couldn't put it down once i started investing myself into it. and jack? he might be one of my fav book boyfriends ever. like i love him so much??
there was so much science and academia talk that i was a bit confused at times but the way hazelwood writes it made me so intrigued?
i could go on an on about this book but to keep it short and sweet, i love this book and you should give it a read too.

"I’m a mess. A work in progress. I’m two steps forward and one step back. I hoard my cheese, and I can’t efficiently load the dishwasher, and I’m going to struggle with the truth until the day I croak.
Jack knows all of this, and he loves me. Not anyway, but because.”
