This was the perfect easy summertime romance book that I needed! We love a grumpy guy who falls for the girl first đ The character development for both of them was so beautiful! I am so in love with Brendan and Piper!!! And also Westport??? I will say there were moments I spaced out because it was a ton of fluffy-ness and was a bit repetitive but still really enjoyed it overall.

This book took me way too long to finish but omg!!!! Idk how Jennifer makes theses books better and better. War of two Queens was SO beautiful. The character development. The buildup. The heartache. Everything!!! I really enjoyed this one because it was less sex.sex.sex.sex and more about the storyline. The ending had me in literal tears⊠lol.
I think the reason it took me so long was because it was more story and less spice so there were a ton of words and kept getting confused/lost with all of the terms. Still enjoyed it overall!
Do I dare say my favorite of the series?

So many conflicting thoughts about this. First of all⊠the triggers that youâre warned about are not what I expected. I actually love the way they bring some of them into the story line. Just like Adeline said⊠Zade is an oxymoron. We love to hate him and hate to love him!!!! I was a little annoyed? triggered? That he kept forcing himself and treating her like sh*t when he claims he loves her. But heâs a f*cked up individual so it all makes sense. By the end of the book I would let him stalk me⊠lol
The only reason I give this a 4 is it felt a bit childish with all of the artwork and most of the twists were predictable. The ending had me screaming!!!! I need answers!!!!!!

It was a bit wordy⊠still a great way to see Daphne & Simonâs relationship. There is a lil teensy bit of spice so that was nice đ Not only was there an epilogue but there was an epilogue part 2!! I love when authors write a continuation of the story so you have an update that we obviously all wanted.

My brain hurts đ«
No but really this book took me way too long to finish. The first 3/4 of the book was extremely dense with not a whole lot going through. It was mostly about poppyâs character development (which I love btw) but I need more than that to keep me entertained. The last 1/4 of the book I could not stop!!! I mean thatâs how they keep ya on the edge of your seat for the next one I guess lol
The reason I started absolutely loving this book in the end is #1 there is a twist I totally did not see coming! And #2 I am a Greek god SLUT and there is a strong god influence at the end of this and I loved it so much.

The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

It was okay. Definitely had me hooked with the chase but was disappointing with the ending⊠guess it wasnât what I expected. Still a great read.
A Glimmer of Death by Valerie Wilson Wesley

It was okay. The writing was a little dry with tons of dialogue. Definitely took awhile to get to âthe chaseâ. Last couple chapters were the best part about the book.
The Push by Ashley Audrain
4.0
When I picked this book I was not sure what to expect but decided to give it a go anyways. I was absolutely hooked! I donât think Iâve ever read a book so fast. This book is about a woman becoming a mother with a dark twist⊠think the movie, the orphan. Ashleyâs writing style was different but I loved it, gave so many little details that allowed you to get sucked in with Blythe.
