“Love and Other Conspiracies” was such a fun read! As someone who enjoys anything cryptid related, I love the dynamic between Hallie and Hayden. They’re both learning to trust again after heartbreaking incidents in their lives, and working together on a web-show about cryptids and conspiracy theories brings out the best in them. I really loved how the author showed how hard it is to trust yourself after an emotionally manipulative ex-partner, and the complexities that come with finding yourself in a relationship after. The light hearted moments, mixed with tackling past trauma was just right. I can’t wait to read more from this series.
