Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee
Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.

I was about to enter a reading bump, so it was not the right timing for this book.

the plot was average, but i have to give the book credit for how much i laughed reading it. this type of series in which each book follows one character of the friendgroup is honestly one of my favourite types of series; and off campus/briar u has it all. is it sometimes sexist and has characters with fragile masculinity? hell yes, but the books are a light read and very funny so....well give it a pass as long as we can identify the issues

honey, where's the plot? there was absolutely no plot in this book. it was just life happening from circe's POV and, honestly, she was such a boring character that it made the situation even worse. the characters were boring and undeveloped, the writing wasn't anything special and dont get me started with the end....it was SO dumb. in conclusion, I didnt like this book AT ALL.

Fool Me Twice by Carrie Aarons

hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

2.0

the premise seemed so interesting, what a pity that it was hella disappointing.
Lincoln was such and asshole at the beginning and, just by magic, he was apparently the perfect boyfriend a few chapters later. there were basically no secondary characters and they were more or less pointless for the story. and not to mention the main girl.....didnt like her at all.

i really liked it, but something was missing for being a 5-star-read. what is it? idk, but ik something is missing.
Elisabeth is a really powerful character and I really liked the chemistry she had with Nathaniel. overall, i really enjoyed reading this. nonetheless, i would've liked if there was a bit more of comedy

no ha estado mal, pero nada espectacular.
