Get Real, Chloe Torres by Crystal Maldonado

Awwww! This was suuuuper cute! 3 friends reuniting after years apart during a roadtrip to see their favorite band? Yeah it was fluffy, fast paced, and just adorable.
I really loved Chloe’s relationship with her dad. And I thought each girl was relatable.
Ohhhh it was so fun seeing little glimpses of Whit again too.
And it’s gay?! Hell yeah!! This book felt a bit healing in some ways. Not all or even most of our childhood friendships make it into young adulthood/adulthood, so this was a very wholesome, cute story.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

This was cute overall! I really enjoyed the unique twist on fantasy this was(involves snakes obviously). This is pretty fast paced and insta lovey because it is a standalone, but it was cute overall!

Whew this book started off with a bang that I really didn’t see coming. I feel like the first half of this book had me on my toes trying to see how it would pan out… but the second half? Well it didn’t really go as well as I was hoping.
The way the story was told was interesting, but I just didn’t believe in the romance. It felt a little too instant love and I was hoping for more pining, more depth in the relationship.
I think that the ending is what I was expecting, but the best part of the book was the author exploring grief.
Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC!

I thought this book was a quick, fun, read! There was one twist that I didn’t see coming and that I thought made the story come together.
Overall, this was a decent book! I wish we would have had some more gruesome cannibalism moments, but I think if you’re dipping your toes into cannibalism in books this would be a good start. Nothing too graphic.
