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.

Holy moly. This book was so extremely adorable from start to finish. I love the way the author incorporated iconic scenes from Cinderella into this book while adding such a new and amazing flair. Everything about Geekerella is so homey. Elle is such a beautiful character and I love the way she was written and I loved getting to know her so extremely much. And Darien. Oh my goodness. I loved getting to see fan perspective vs actor perspective. I think it’s interesting to think about how celebrities actually feel about their day to days. I’m so happy that Darien stood up for himself by the end. And I love that Cal and Sage came together <3 I loved everything about this book!

This is my very first manga, it was recommended to me by my friend as it’s his favorite lol. I got attached to Fujino and Kyomoto quickly, their friendship was just so special. I wish there was more to the story, it did almost feel sort of rushed with the ending but the overall plot balanced it out. They both deserved better and I hope Fujino learns it wasn’t her fault.

As I’m writing this it is 10:30pm on a school night and I have been sobbing my guts out for the past hour. This book was so happy. So amazing. And then the last 100 pages out of an over 500 paged book completely destroyed me. Orion and Valentino will forever live in my heart.

It gives me some comfort knowing that Valentino’s heart will forever be with Orion, but I wish their souls could stay together forever too. They deserved more time. AND SCARLETT DESERVED TO SEE HER BROTHER. I will never forgive the author for keeping them apart. Paz deserved better, Frankie deserved hell. I really hope Gloria ended up living a beautiful life and I really hope Paz is happy and Rolando is okay. I think Gloria needs that time for herself, whether she gets with Rolando or not that’s her business, I just really want her to be happy. And seeing Mateo and Rufus as little kids made me so happy, but also made me cry. Bittersweet. And thank you Dalma for bringing Mateo and Rufus together..

This book put me through it. I cried for so long after reading They Both Die at the End and it seems as though I’ve just been given the same fate. I love this series with everything in me.

Oh my gosh. I love this book so much. I’m writing this just after I finished and I don’t even know what to say… It was just so good. I’ve been in a slight book slump lately because of school but this.. Magnolia Parks kept me invested, I couldn't put it down. There were multiple nights where I stayed up reading it until 1am because I just didn’t want to stop. I haven’t done that in a long time. I’m so excited for the next book because I NEED to know what happens next!! Like how did it end there???? I just wanna give Magnolia a hug- but I do have a soft spot for BJ too I think,

even if what he did was unforgivable, truly, and I’m so glad Magnolia is realizing this. And poor Tom England. Oh my goodness. Magnolia really was throwing these guys for a loop. But alas, I support women’s rights and women’s wrongs…

Oh my goodness I need to buy Daisy Haites now-
