Absolutely perfect. I was actually just invested the whole time and right now this may be my favorite in the series- I love the way this author writes so much and I love how we get chances to solve our own game too.

 This book had me hooked from the beginning! It was actually so hard to put it down- The writing style was sooo good and I loved the flashbacks. Those peaks into Tiffany’s past life were everything. All the characters were so well thought out and written- I would love to hear more about Shelly though, in the end. It was just a perfect, late night read. This book was much more than a romance. It was a book about self-forgiveness, achieving your goals despite everything and growth. It is a book I’ll be thinking about for a while.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an eArc.

If you’re looking for the perfect summer camp book with a dash of romance, this book may be perfect for you! It was definitely perfect for me- I genuinely could not put it down. I literally started and finished the same day (technically…i was up reading until 1am) It was just too good, I had to keep going. I liked the new perspective it invited me into and how we could truly see the character’s growth throughout their time at summer camp

Oh my gosh! This book was soo cute and such a fun, happy read! I loved the writing style too and I will now be going though a Sarah Adam’s obsession and try to get my hands on all of her books- Bree and Nathan will forever be in my mind. The friends to lovers aspect of this was just everything, their friendship is everything. I loved how they both helped each other and I love how they just have so much love for one another. Both of them are so determined to get to their goals and they both work so extremely hard to achieve them. Bree is described as a hot mess while Nathan is a perfectionist who has everything together. They complete each other. Everything is perfect

This book had me hooked the whole time!! I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like it, the plot twists just had me going. 100 pages left and I had to literally take a break it was crazy- I loved every part of this so much, I hate to see it go but I’m so happy I experienced this book. Jason June has such a good writing style too, I definitely am getting more books by him!! Crest (Ross) and Sean actually just have my whole heart

Common Grounds is *such* a cozy read with the best coffee shop vibes!! I highly recommended reading this in the fall. I’ve never read a book by Allie Samberts before but I definitely will be reading more because her writing style is literally so good. The flow of everything was just so smooth, nothing was ever rushed and the plot had good realism. The ending had the perfect wrap up of a happily ever after <3 and oh my goodness the epilogue!! I loved getting to see Emery grow into a more self-confident person and I loved Cass and Violet’s lil storyline so much. Trevor is the epitome of a green flag and I love that Emery finally gets that. Common Grounds was just such a happy read and just what I needed to be honest~ The perfect blend

I just read 552 pages in about 4 days, the best 552 pages. This is my first book by Lucy Score and oh my goodness it most definitely is not my last. I had this book on my shelf for almost 2 years, scared to read it. It’s a large book, intimidating, but finally I picked it up. My only regret is not reading this sooner. The writing style is perfection, I was completely hooked from page one, and the cover is adorable.

First things first, I’m so happy Waylay stole Knox’s dog for a sec there, that was everything.|| These characters are just lovely. ||Knox had me there for a second, thinking he was stupid, but I’m so happy that in the end he got his act together. I loved Naomi the entire time, she’s amazing and I’m so happy she got her happily ever after. Waylay had an awful childhood and deserved so much better, Naomi gave her that plus some. And Knox too. In the bonus epilogue when Waylay called Knox “Dad” I almost just burst into tears to be honest. AND STEF AND JEREMIAH OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE YALL!!!

All in all though, I’m writing this at 1:40am right after finishing it because it was just too good to put down. This book is perfect, go read it.
