Really cute m/m romance. Read this in ONE NIGHT! The ending is a huge cliffhanger, so have volume two ready.

A fun read. Dark and twisty ending. Nothing too memorable, though.

An amazing LGBT+ novel about a girl finding herself. The best kind of coming of age story!

Really fun fantasy that I read at the right time. I liked being transported to a new world, especially with COVID19 happening in the world right now. I thought Feyre's character was well developed in the first half of the book, but her decisions in the second half didn't match her development from the first half! It is a fantasy romance, and the romance definitely swayed her decisions!

This is very quirky. It's one long metaphor for our world. One that teaches us that just because we've gotten rid of something, doesn't mean it's still there. It's about facing fears, overcoming challenges, and honesty.

I liked this one even better than the first. The side characters were more present in this novel, and they were very lovable. I liked seeing Calla's growth. Reading about overcoming challenges in an established relationship was new to me, and I really liked reading about that.
