4 stars — This one was a little slower at times, and a little more angsty/drama-y than I normally go for. But the characters were really real, and so easy to feel all the emotions for. They each had such a unique story, and it was interesting to see how their tragedies/traumas made them match each […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I truly enjoyed about this story, but also a few things that were a bit meh. I actually genuinely liked both Eilish and Bryan on the whole. They were characters that had both made mistakes or rather were living with the consequences of their decisions. The problem is […]
4.5 stars — This story legitimately had so many layers, and they all wove together just masterfully. I was invested in all of them too — not just the romance, but how our characters were going to grow and develop, what was going to happen with Cam’s family, would the jerks in the town ever […]
4 stars — I love these Crush line of books, I always gravitate towards them when I’m looking for something fairly light and easy to read. Which is not to say they never dip a toe into tough topics, just that it’s not usually the central theme. And that’s exactly what I was looking for, […]
4 stars — Well, that was a super intriguing premise, though really dark and disturbing as well. Rain and Wes go through a LOT. I was intrigued by what was going on with Rain, but I also started to lose patience when it took so long to get answers. I think I was anticipating Rain’s […]

3.5 stars — There was a lot of feelz going on in this book…my heart isn’t always in the mood for that level of drama and angst, and I’m torn on whether I was in the right mood reading this. But the thing is that I was sucked in and connected to these characters, even if […]
DNF @ 13% (Chapter 5 of Wet) — *sigh* OK, I know I’m in a bit of a slump, so I’m probably DNF’ing quicker than I normally would. But I just had a hard time getting into this one. I’m not really connecting with Sadie that much, and so far West hasn’t pulled me in […]
3 stars — Well…this one didn’t work as well for me as Crew and Case’s romances. I honestly found myself skimming the sex scenes for the last half of the book. I think it really could have been edited down a bit and then the pacing would have worked better. I also had a hard […]
DNF @24% (Chapter 10) — So, this is a new author for me, and I was excited to read her for black history month. And it looked like this was going to be a bit of an ownvoices book too, so double yay! But right away I could tell the writing wouldn’t likely be a […]
