"Idiots are highly flammable, love. Let them all burn in hell.
The ending?? I'm so shocked, I never saw it coming.
I had to get the next book because you can't just leave me like that.
I started reading this book in August, and I had to take a break because it was kinda boring, but this month I continued it and forced myself through it and to my luck it got better, more interesting and less boring but 80% in. So I would say that this is one of my least favourite in the series. Despite everything the secrets were still shocking and particularly in the end.
THE MISCOMMUNICATION stressed me out SO MUCH like you don't even get it. I wanted to jump into the book and help them solve everything.
Also, what happened to Juliette's development… it's like she threw it out of the window. Still love her very much though.
Okay, now I'm going to read Kenji's novella.

Shadow Me by Tahereh Mafi

This just proved even more how much I love Kenji like he is my best friend. I relate to him so much regrading caring about your friends too much, but never looking after your own feelings.
"I’ve got my own problems, my own burdens, my own pain and frustration, and besides, no one ever asks me about my day. No one ever follows up with me, no one ever bothers to peer beneath the surface of my smile. So why should I care?" But he still talked to him. OH, HE IS SO ME CODED.
Also, I'm so excited to see more of Kenji and Nazeera.

I'll Be Home For Christmas by Mason Deaver
3.0
This was so cute and, it made me yarn for my own romantic Christmas with a partner. And the cover art by Alice Oseman is GORGEOUS.
Also, I totally respect Masons wishes to not write more about Ben and Nathan. Sometimes it's good to let things how they are.

The Heartstopper Yearbook by Alice Oseman

I got it in the mail today after waiting for days and, it immediately lightened up my mood.
I loved seeing the progress of Heartstopper and, the little colored comics, especially the Tara and Darcy one.
I love them all so much. Indeed, my favourite people.

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

I wanted to read a spooky book for October and, this seemed very fitting to me when I found it on TikTok. I read this in the span of two days, and I wasn't disappointed.
This book felt like a thriller with a touch of supernatural which I loved. For me it wasn't that scary, and I actually excepted to sleep with the light on after this book but, it was good nevertheless.
It was a very faced paced book and, I was worried that the plot-twist would be ruined due the shortness of the book but, the author managed to do it. I had a thought about what the plot-twist would be but, I was still surprised. I didn't see most of these things coming which made it an enjoyable read.

Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
4.0
There wasn't a single book of TJR that I haven't enjoyed, and I'm always in awe how she manages to make every book her own way.
This book got me out of the reading slump. I'm not a fan of sports but, after a few pages TJR managed to make me root for tennis something that I have never imagined.
Following Carrie through her childhood till her adulthood was beautiful. Every match I was glued to my seat in hopes that she would win. I loved how she was written. She was real, inspirational, and didn't take shit from anyone. A true icon. Also, her character development made me shed a few tears.
The book was indeed sad but, it also gave you hope and it delivered the message that you can achieve what you want no matter what age you are. Never let anyone tell you that you can't because Carrie Soto showed us all how it's done.
The ending was beautiful. I cried. It was something that I didn't except and, it was beautifully done. Big shot out to TJR.

Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales
5.0
This has to be one of the best books that I have read this year. It's always refreshing to read a 5-star book.
The writing style is very light and fun to read which made the whole experience even better. Sophie did a good job.
Also, the representation was EVERYTHING. We had trans, bi, lesbian, asexual, non-binary, gay and pan rep it made me so happy to see my sexuality in this book. The plot wasn't how I thought that it would go, but I'm not complaining. It was a new one that I haven't really heard before + I'm a big fan of enemies to lovers, so I was sold. This book had everything that I wished for.
Darcy was a fun protagonist and too relatable. I found myself agreeing with her a lot during the book. The fear of not being queer enough when you date a boy while being bisexual was one of mine for YEARS, so it was like a warm hug to see all the support. "You are queer, because you are, and who you fall for or date or kiss does not alter that. No one else can change you." !!! AMAZING.
I adore this book so much, and I can't wait to get my own copy of this. A big thank you to Sophie for writing such an amazing book.
