My first Emily Henry! Everyone’s been raving about this author and this book didn’t disappoint. This was cozy romance read, perfect for the anxious, insecure girls who are maybe going through some type of post graduation slump :). It was super easy and very cute.

Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir by Dolly Alderton

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

My only issue with the book is that at some parts the book felt quite choppy. I understand that this is because the author had split the book into lessons learned and not chronologically, but it did get confusing at times. otherwise, I really liked it! It was messy and real and completely needed at this point in my life. I loved the emphasis on how much your friendships, specifically friendships with women, impact who you are as a person. Highly recommend!!

slow paced but super entertaining. i love Cassandra Clare’s writing and this did not disappoint. she’s very funny and her writing is so movie-like it’s very fun to read. 

it’s the first in a series so there was a lot of buildup and word building which was confusing at times and made the plot a little slow, but it’s understandable. 

 CC never disappoints with her characters, romance and pining and this book is no different. i wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the rest of the series
