Unnatural by Alessandra Hazard
4.0
I've only read one book by Hazard and did not like it at all so I never really gave her another chance and I'm kinda kicking myself for that now. I enjoyed this immensely, it had so many of my favorite tropes and I was immediately addicted and couldn't put it down
Under Locke by Mariana Zapata
3.0
Didn’t really like it. HATED Iris, and like half the other characters. It wasn’t the slow burn I’m used to from Zapata and I’m disappointed
Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
This struck a strong cord with me. As someone who struggles with mental illness daily, and maybe not on the same level as Aza, parts of this book hit me like a ton of bricks. I could feel those mind spirals so intensely because I have been there so so many times. I wanted to reach inside this book and give her a huge hug. In my current mental health battle, it was hard to swallow sometimes, and I felt like by reading about Aza, I was reading a little something about myself as well.
I read some other reviews and people tend to complain about John Green’s overly philosophical writing but I honestly enjoy it. The way he writes is similar to my own inner monologues so I can always deeply relate to his characters.
Even if you don’t suffer from mental illness I think this is an important book to read. Everything was spot on and although it took me a bit to decide how I felt about the ending, I think it ended how it should have. This wanted a “happily ever after” kind of book and that’s okay.
Not my favorite John Green book, but I loved it nonetheless.

A few years of perspective and a shit ton of m/m romances later and I really don’t know why I enjoyed this book when I first read it in 2018. It was my first m/m romance so maybe that’s why but reading it now…. wow was it bad. Cheesy, rushed, over the top, porn without plot - it was all things I really don’t like in a romance unless done well and it was not done well here. Also if this was a m/f romance it would get so much hate for the weird consent and boundary issues.. sometimes I don’t even mind that in a book but it was constant here. And the constant pattern of, Logan pisses off tate, Tate is hurt and wants to talk, Logan cures it with sex was so ANNOYING. Have a normal conversation like adults PLEASE
