The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
1.0
DNF @ CHAPTER 2.
I couldn't stand this fucking book. I get why people like this, but the writing is obnoxious from someone who's read many wattpad books and even written a few. Also, Ali Hazelwood mentions their height difference a little too much in the beginning. I'm surprised I managed to get this far. I just really, really didn't vibe with this book.
Now, did I skip to chapter sixteen to read the smut? Yes. Was it good? Not really. One thing I would like to mention though is it was decent smut, the only thing which threw me off was the fact Olive randomly came out as Demisexual (?, not trying to label her, but the sexual attraction she feels is described as someone who labels themselves as demisexual). I have no problem with coming out scenes, but we were in an awkward state. We were just getting somewhere.
I think I would've liked this a bit more not knowing that it was Reylo (Kylo Ren & Rey) fanfiction, especially since I haven't seen Star Wars, and fanfiction in general is something I don't wanna read. I read this because of BookTok and BookTok only, and I must say that this was a let down. Even with all the negativity, I thought I may like it. But I ended up having a The Spanish Love Deception situation with this one. A definite one star.
But if you like this book, I have no problem with that. You like what you like. Just wasn't for me.

Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
2.0
I read this book when I really didn't know how to rate and review things, and at the time I thought it was just decent. But now that's I'm back on Goodreads, flipping through my read shelf, I bumped my rating down to 2 stars, just because I remember the characters not being that enjoyable.
Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
5.0
This may be my favorite book of all time. Not because I could relate to Aza and her spirals of thoughts, her turtles all the way down, but that the plot and humor was just immaculate. And towards the end, when her and Davis finally realize that while their relationship, was a small thing all along which happened by accident. I loved them together, whether it be "together" or as friends, the use of interests and annoyance at the same time.
There's this thing about John Green that can make you so attached to his writing style, his characters, everything he develops in one of his many works. And in his bibliography, that most famously includes Paper Towns and The Fault in Our Stars, there are hidden gems like this one.
I just recommend this book to everyone. The narrator can be relatable at times. Aza and Daisy are the best friend combo everyone can see themself and their best friend in. JUST READ IT!!!!
