i dont often read romance but im glad i read this one! the best friends-to-lovers trope was very well executed, i was rooting for them from the beginning.

oh how i miss vacationing, thank you to this book for giving me a great escape.

I felt that Poppy and Alex were both characters you could grow to love. Poppy being the outgoing, outspoken one and Alex is a soft and shy high school literature teacher. They were great for each other, and i wish i could have gone on those trips with them. 

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review :-)

wow, this book did *not* disappoint! id prefer this book to the first in the series, and now there is no way i wont be finishing the rest of the books in 2021, im shamelessly hooked. 

im so heartbroken for Nehemia though, why did SJM do... that? i actually think it moved along the plot really well but id really developed feelings for her. gahh

Super-Women: Superhero Therapy for Women Battling Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma by Janina Scarlet

4.0

This was a good experience for me. the approach that Janina Scarlet takes in her "Superhero Therapy" helps to empower women from all types of different backgrounds and I personally felt really well represented in my mental health struggle, The superwomen that you meet in this book are all really likeable, yet it's clear they're flawed like everyone else.

the concept was promising but this story developed soo slowly it was almost painful. i still love blue and the boys with my whole heart though and i’ll probably keep reading the series for them only.
