I'll be honest my first time trying to read this book was a little boring. I DNFed it, but because I love the movie so much I decided to give it another shot. This time I listened to the audiobook and wow was I wrong about it the first time. I loved the characters then hated them when they all went through their funk but when they finally got back together I was so happy. It was action packed and a roller coaster for sure.

Growing up I loved watching iCarly. It was always my comfort show. I was so sad when Jeanette declined to be apart of the reboot. But after reading her memoir it really opened my eyes. She went through so much growing up. I'm glad she is doing better now and doing what she wants. Listening to her audiobook book was heartbreaking but it really shows how much she was able to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. I hope she thriving right now and enjoying her freedom.

It took me a while to finish this book but I enjoyed it. The characters are loveable especially the hockey team with how they welcomed Stas and Lola into their lives. I love how they became so close and like a family. Also Nate was so amazing. He really sets the bar high.
Kinda cheesy and a little cringe but I still liked it. 😂
Also, there was a particular character I loathed with a fiery passion. I'm glad he got what he deserved.

Loves this book! I am very surprised with myself that i enjoyed this even thought it involved a lot of STEM.  I loved the characters (except for one) and i couldn't believe my eyes when i got to the huge twist with this certain character that i now despise. Obviously this book has the grumpy sunshine trope so i loved how although Adam was grumpy he still had a soft spot for Ol. And i loved his nick name for her. 🤣

What a beautiful book. I can see why a lot of people say it's very similar to the Pixar movie UP. I did not expect to cry so much but it's just so sad, yet such a beautiful story. I absolutely loved Parvaneh TRIGGER WARNING: lots of talk about suicide.

This book was so cheesy but adorable. Both Lucas and Rosie were very lovable characters. The first date Lucas planned made me absolutely melt.

I loved this book. Atlas set the bar unreachably high. I feel like the end was a little rushed but still loved the book. Would recommend.

I don't usually read fast paced books, so I found it slightly annoying at how fast paced this book was. Overall it was a good book and i absolutely fell in love with Sam. Was really sad what happened, but it had a nice ending.

I don't even know how to describe how much i love this book. I can see why it took Macy a decade to not reach out to Elliot. I probably would've reacted the same exact way. All in all,  it was such a beautiful and sad story. I absolutely fell in love with Elliot and his family in the way they were so welcoming to Macy and her dad. I'm so bummed i finished it and it's over. I never wanted it to end. I just wanna read more about Elliot and Macy's adorable friendship and love.
