summer, the female main character, is one of the most emotionally unintelligent, stupid, bratty, and naive characters that i have ever read. her wishy washy nature irritated the crap out of me and in no world am i rooting for her.
i ABSOLUTELY HATE it when the main character clearly has a saboteur in their life and they don't realize it. maybe i have trust issues, or maybe these characters are just dumbasses.
miscommunication in this book is not a thing bc aiden makes it clear what he wants. summer is the annoying one dragging this book on and blaming it all on her daddy issues. everyone has daddy issues these days, but not everyone is as cruel as this girl. i felt bad for her at first, but as the book went on and on, it became harder and harder to continue this book, much less like her.
aiden is fine or whatever, kinda boring though. it doesn't feel like he has any motivations other than play hockey and get the girl. boring and annoying. also, almost insta-love and i hate that too.
and yes this book has a lot of similarities with Icebreaker, and in my opinion Icebreaker did it better. luckily for Icebreaker, i read that first, so it had a fighting chance. this one is not as fortunate :/
the audiobook narrators were meh. but i hate it when male audiobook narrators use that baby voice for females. you are aware that the female character is in her twenties and not two, right?

Lights Out by Navessa Allen

the trigger warnings had me worried, but it wasn't too bad. it really could've been worse.
there are two main aspects to this book: the stalking/romance part and the murder aspect. the romance was great. the murder part i didn't really care for.
the audiobook was great! it was what got me into the book in the first place, and i really enjoyed both narrators. i absolutely love it when the female narrator spoke aly's parts rather than having the male narrator mimic her voice. (this is a pet peeve of mine in many audiobooks of adult romances).
there are mentions of tiktok and social media since that is a pivotal role in the plot, but in this case it wasn't too cringe worthy. dont' get me wrong it was cringy, but i could see past that.
overall i would recommend and i would read more :)

not much in here that the show already doesn't convey.
a huge portion of the book is just interview questions that were meh.
and a good portion was just a summary of the episodes too.

A Curse for True Love by Stephanie Garber

rebecca soler, you own my heart. you can have everything of mine <3
dan bittner, you'll always be adrien everheart to me, but i love you nonetheless
this book was way better as an audiobook btw. maybe because of the audiobook narrator, but definitely also because the apollo chapters went by faster
great ending to a great series, and even though stephanie garber has hinted to more with these two, i am satisfied :)
