My goodness. I think I have baby fever now. This book was so sweet.

Sabrina- She is definitely not one of my favorites. I wish she was, she is adorable though. Incredibly pretty and fudging resilient. I am grateful for the fact that she stuck up to Tucker’s mom when she talked crap. It’s so refreshing. THEY ACTUALLY TALKED! And that confession. I actually fell out of my bed laughing and kicking my feet. The only things I didn’t like is when she was scared, let me explain. When she said that she wasn’t scared of commitment, I laughed. Then I realized just how true it is. They could have talked, Tucker and Sabrina. Talking exists.

Tucker- This man…this god of a man is what every woman deserves. We need more Tucker’s. Also true gentleman, hot, nice, and he actually stuck by. The fact he was there every step of the way. Admirable. Fucking admirable. (Sorry Sabrina for cursing.) Seriously, Tucker is an amazing character, what I didn’t like was when he shut up. Let me elaborate, he could have pushed some topics a bit more, I know it would have pissed Sabrina off, but still. 

James- She is absolute perfection. Got the perfect genes. I may or may not have to continue the next series just for her. Tee hee.

Overall I loved this entire book. Everything went so well. The writing was so delightful I couldn’t put it down, which concerns me since I’m writing this a few minutes before midnight. Oh well. The plot was delectable, actually. I will now defend this book with my life! Oh my lord, I loved the friendship for when they were packing. FOUND FAMILY!!!! Best trope in my humble opinion.

I LOVE THIS. Also that smooth way of dropping a bomb? Amazing.

Allie- I love her. She is so talented in acting, cant tell me otherwise. Also, she is so adorable. Sticking up to Sean and then Dean. She is an empowering queen, even if she watches French soap operas. 

Dean- He can marry me. I LOVE HIM. He is so sweet and so damn intelligent. I also just love funny characters. I also adore how he spiraled. Hear me out, he actually went down a hole because his friend died. It’s because he got to realize what real life is and not his own world.

Overall I loved his book. The writing as usual, wasn’t the best but I still love it because the plot was so adorable. The book has reached my expectations and needs and everything else.

I hated this. Immensely. Only because of Isla too, she has the characteristics of Belly from The summer I turned pretty, who I also hated. JUST PICK YOUR HUSBAND OR THE MALE MISTRESS!😩 Just pick one. Please.

Isla- I hope you die. I wish she died. She better die! I don’t care how beautiful she is, she deserves to die. She wants to be Paedyn Gray so badly, whom also didn’t want to murder. But no, Pae didn’t actually kill all that many people, Isla has. And I will kill Isla in the other world.

Grim- I feel bad for this guy. He just wants his WIFE to love him and only him. Which isn’t unreasonable. Grim may be the ‘demon’ but he needs love too.

Oro- I don’t think him and Isla are a good couple, but I do feel bad for him even if I’m not an Oro fan. He was incredibly annoying to me, why? I don’t know. It’s a vibe. But I don’t wish loneliness upon him, he deserves love at least, just not with Isla.

Overall, I hated this book because of numerous reasons. And the repeated conversations. Ugh. Also what was with the spice..? Isn’t this suggested for middle schoolers..? The writing hurt me physically. I don’t want to hate on the author, but I just…I can’t.😭

Alright, so I’m just going to start this out and say, too much smexy time. Like right after they talked Jared was ‘starving’ for her. Can they not just talk?

Banner- First of all, I loved her. Secondly, I hate her. Maint the second. She cheated on Zo, like he did not deserve that. Her mother was right for calling her out on her stupid tendencies to cheat! She did need to cheat, Zo truly did not deserve that. Only good thing this man did was back off for six weeks. 

Jared- I hate him. He is possessive obsessive, and not in a good way. He literally forced himself on her so many times, and was so rough with her. She says he liked it but each time after, she had fucking tears in her eyes. I hate this man, he is literally mean and rude to everyone. There was no need for it!

Overall I hated the book. Especially because Banner, (I truly hate her name, I’m sorry) was so clearly pregnant and no one said anything! The fact was overlooked! Also the writing cringed me out, like it was good, but some phrases were used wayyy too many times. Also, Jared was wayyyyyyyyyyy too sex addicted.

I hate that ending. Lindsay deserved what came to her. Tenfold. Claire and Noah, I pray they work it out. Otherwise I’ll cry. I know there are more books but still. Overall, I genuinely did like this thriller, just I don’t like the ending.

I hate this. Only time I actually cried was when my playlist played a song I hate.(I didn’t listen to the playlist given from the book.)

Poppy- I hate her. I don’t even know why. Actually scratch that, I know why. She is a pick me. She puts down other girls to appear like the superior woman which pisses me off.

Rune- He is a possessive obsessive man. Like he ‘loved’ her so much he demanded her to never a kiss a man other than him. Sure they ‘loved each other’ but it seems like Stockholm Syndrome. Incredibly.

Overall I hated the book. It sounds like an eight year old wrote this. I don’t mean to be rude, it just…I’ve got to express my feelings somewhere. The writing gave me hives. I am a person that loves proper grammar and well done writing, okay? So when I read this, it gives me anxiety. (I have ocd too)

I almost cried while reading this. I didn’t want to finish this series, now I’m sad cause I did.😭

Bailey- The fact she says the most random things, I can relate to it. I also adore the fact she powers through all of her adversities, it’s admirable and empowering. Stick it to the man! Bailey is one of those girls I would have never turned down to be her friend. She is honestly an icon.

Beau- Well this man is definitely a commander. I loved that he followed Bailey around to protect her. It is incredibly sweet. Now, sir, I need to see the wedding. I wanted to see the wedding. It’s so sad. Anyway, Beau would definitely win against Rhett. I just know it.

Overall, I loved this book. I mean, I love Elsie Silver now. All her books are amazing and well written. I also love how Harvey got a happy ending as well. They deserved it. They all deserved the happy ending. Oh the weddings almost made me cry, it was so sweet. The speech? Just wait until I start Rose Hill.

I genuinely thought that I’d love this, but I don’t hate this. I did have to put on music to keep reading this without dragging it out. Also, is it bad I wanted to burn this book because it talked about burning books? 
Seriously, this was a well written book. I did enjoy reading it, it just wasn’t my favorite, nor will it ever be.

I liked it. It was pretty simplistic, like a basic hockey romance. NO HATE, I just like simplistic sometimes.

Grace- When she stutters to talks a lot, I understand her entirely. Or even if she doesn’t say much or if she thinks a lot. I love it. I also love how she makes Logan fix himself instead of making her help him. That’s how we do it, folks.

Logan- I love this man. It’s quite easy to make me love a mmc, but this man didn’t need to try. He spoke once and I loved him. Anyway, I adore the fact that he still got the girl and the career without hurting family expectations. I love it.

Overall I love the book. The was incredibly good and well written, obviously there were times that it cringed me out, but I liked those parts too. Also, I love that Elle Kennedy didn’t make Logan all obsessive possessive over Grace, and the same goes for her too. I truly liked this book.

I enjoyed this. The breakups for the two wasn’t even that long and in my humble opinion, I thought it was hilarious.

Kris- I have a feeling she is still very uptight. Like not to her friends but to most people still. I love how she grew out of the popular culture and mean girl stuff, but like damn. I would want her as mt. mentor too.

Nate- I love this man. He is incredibly supportive and damnit, an actor? Sign me the fuck up. Sorry Kris, I may steal your man.

Overall I liked the book. This was a good book to keep me from a reading slump. I also have a theory, Kris and Nate would be the old wise couple in the friend group. Like actually. Also, Skylar is so real for setting them up. Gotta pull the slick sister moves.
