Bad Girl Reputation by Elle Kennedy
3.5
I really love this series and how they connect with the characters. I was so excited for Evan’s story and POV. It felt a tiny bit underwhelming with a rushed ending, but I did enjoy the growth and the relationships. The subplot with the mom was cool too. I’m gonna reread The Summer Girl since I read it alone in 2023. The storyline will probably make even more sense with all the side characters now that I’ve read Good Girl Complex & Bad Girl Reputation 🫶🏼
Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy
4.0
I read The Summer Girl back in 2023 not realizing it was the 3rd standalone in the Avalon Bay series so I was super excited to go back and read Mac & Cooper’s story. I loved them individually and together — no complaints at all. I loveeeeeeee a good Elle Kennedy book 🫶🏼🤩
Daydream by Hannah Grace
4.75
My favorite of the Maple Hills books by far. It’s so sweet and silly. The way she wrote Halle and Henry was superb. The characters are so lovable and also so relatable !! As an eldest daughter who struggles with people pleasing & self-doubt at times & has neurodivergent traits, Halle made me feel seen. I could see bits of myself in Henry too with getting overstimulated and needing time to recharge. The way they saw and heard each other and weren’t super unhealthy and toxic was refreshing. I loved this book so much. Plus, it’s clear Hannah Grace is a Swiftie 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Solid 4.5!! I loved this book. It was so different from other fantasy books I’ve read. The world-building didn’t last for half the book & it had a great plot, twists I wasn’t expecting, & a cliffhanger leaving you wanting more!!!
Book Lovers by Emily Henry
5.0
I absolutely LOVED this book!! I’ve loved every Emily Henry book so idk why I left this on my bookshelf for so long. Her books are so digestible yet always have a deeper meaning and storyline intertwined with the main story.
As an eldest sister with a younger sister, I felt Nora’s character so hard. The parentification, the perfectionism, the responsibility, the way she put everyone else first—I saw so much of myself in her. I absolutely loved this book and the way it explored an older sister finally getting the chance to learn who she is outside of being a caretaker, which was not even the “main” love storyline. It was just as captivating. Nora’s journey was beautiful, and seeing her soften while still staying true to herself made my heart so full. She will forever hold a special place in my heart 🫶🏼
