Rules For Fake Girlfriends

lighthearted medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I needed a lighthearted, fun book like this. I thought it was sweet, capitalized on some tropes, and overall just made for a very fun book. I felt there was good representation, and the side characters were more dimensional (sometimes side characters can be very boring and flat) and added a lot of value to the book.

A Spell to Wake the Dead

Nicole Lesperance

3.0

If you enjoy occult themes, witches, and mysteries, this has it all. Personally, it was not my cup of tea, but I can understand those who want more of a ~spooky~ vibe to enjoy this much more. I think this is a good Halloween-type book. Nothing was truly "scary" in my opinion, but definitely had some creepy elements. Maybe don't read it at night if you have a vivid imagination and don't sleep well? I think what made this feel not scary to me was the main characters being high schoolers - it made me feel like things were generally going to be okay in one way or another?

The Book Of Lost Hours

Hayley Gelfuso

4.25

I enjoyed this book! It had elements of The Midnight Library and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and since I enjoyed both of those, it was pretty likely that I would enjoy this as well. I would like to point out that this is still a very different book from both of those, and it deserves its own accolades. I thought the story was fascinating, and the tie up at the end seemed well thought out and executed - sometimes things can feel too "neat" and I did not feel that way about this book.

Guardians of Dawn: Yuli

3.75

This was a good continuation of the Guardians of Dawn series. I found it captivating, easy to get back in the world, and overall a good story. I enjoyed meeting new characters and how they connected to the main characters, as well as some of the recurring characters!

Joy Moody Is Out of Time

Kerryn Mayne

3.5

This was an intriguing book. It took me a bit to figure out how it was all going to, for lack of a better word, become more coherent? But, that's more of a statement on me than the author. There's layers here, and peeling them back in a specific way lends a lot of value to how the story weaves together.

The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective

Jo Nichols

4.0

This book showcases an eclectic group of people with chapters from different POVs. I thought it was an overall interesting book, and the setup worked well for me. I found this to be a solid mystery, and I did enjoy learning about the characters and the community they created. If there's another book with these characters, I would definitely pick it up.
