This book really had me going for a while. It was slower at the beginning but once it picked up, I couldn’t put it down. I was fully convinced this wouldn’t have a happy ending. I was STRESSED. 😫 but I think this book might stick with me for a minute.. maybe in my nightmares some too — that got a little scary

I needed a palette cleanser book — this book had hardly any spice but it was cute as hell. The relationship moved quick, I love that. Guaranteed HEA —
I went down a rabbit hole of reading the reviews on this bc it’s kind of burning slow for me for a 300 page book. Turns out everyone just thinks about things so much more deeply than I do bc this is literally just cozy autumn vibes. A hallmark movie in the form of a book but I saw people saying there was a bunch of spice but there’s hardly any?!? Like 3 scenes at the end. Annoying but honestly this was cute. Might read the others.

This is easily one of the darker books I’ve ever read. The triggers are serious and I was truly not prepared for how deep this gets (luckily this stuff isn’t triggering for me) but I ATE THIS UP. I love the dark stories of both women, the plot twists (meh kind of predictable) but still a couple got me gooooooood! I was VERY VERY worried I wouldn’t get a happily ever after in this one.

I am obsessed with the dark verse! I love every couple for so many different reasons. This book I waited for for months while others waited YEARS and I get the disappointment. Did I love this and will probably think about it regularly? Yes! But compared to the other books? It just fell a little short. The plot twists were kind of predictable and the story felt like it was lacking but the book wrapped up a lot of loose ends and I got my happy ending 🩷

I’m obsessed with this — a plus size FMC that really embodies what it feels like to not love yourself. It is frustrating at times how badly she sees herself sometimes but others so confidently but for the most part, she really thinks how we are thinking. I wasn’t ready for that plot twist, I was literally SCREAMING at my kindle. WTF that pissed me offffff — in a good way!
A good reminder that sometimes bad things need to happen for you to accept the really good things.

This was very quick paced — when a group tried to Mean Girl their “friend”, things begin to get real when someone actually dies.. I was not expecting the ending, that was wild. I was not expecting a lot of what went on in the book. Poor Quinn but also fuck literally everyone else? Wtf? It was just kind of predictable in some parts, very generic slasher feel. But I enjoyed and couldn’t stop reading a lot of the time.

This book was beyond cheesy. It was very lighthearted with dark mafia tones but everything is done in the name of LOOOVEEEEE 🩷 all the guys are so casual about sharing Elenna and never fight about anything. There was hardly any discussion about them being a big unit — it just.. happens? And everyone is so horny all the time . EVERYONE . Including the friends — who are always talking about cock… in public.
Did I enjoy this? 100000000% but it’s because of how cheesy and easy a read it was that I loved it

This was legitimately scary — I found myself wondering WTF am I reading and HOLY SHIT THATS HORRIFYING. It was a mystery, it was gory, it was gross, and I found myself thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it, especially as things started to get revealed as what was happening. I guessed some of it with the hints the author provided but I still kept getting shocked by what I was reading
