my rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was in place where I wanted something lighthearted and an easy read. This is an enemies to lovers story (one of my favorite tropes). I listened to this on audio which was perfect. This book follows Olive and Ethan who are the lone survivors of a wedding banquet food poisoning. Since the honeymoon is already paid in full, Ethan and Olive are asked to go in place of the bride and groom. They reluctantly agree and the story moves forward from there. The characters are intelligent and lovable. I felt the way the characters came together was real and relatable. I enjoyed the family dynamics between the main characters and their siblings. Overall, this was what I needed to get out of an impending reading slump and this was the perfect book to do that. I gave this book four stars because there are some parts that I considered forced and unbelievable. However, the problems weren't enough to keep me from reading to the end. I would read this again and recommend it to a ...

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you haven't listened to this book on audio, you are missing out. I had a hardcopy of Illuminae but chose audio after hearing good things and I loved it! This story follows ex's Ezra and Kady as they try to save the fleet from a falling system. (There is load more but it'd be too much to try and put in a review.) I loved the banter between the main characters. Erza and Kady are amazing together and I look forward to seeing their future. The side characters are fun and lovable. Even the "enemy" Aidan is a new favorite of mine. This was a roller coaster that I am so glad I went on. The writing style is unique, fun and relatable.  I gave this book 5 stars because if you haven't read it yet, you are need to now!

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ok, so I went into this book blind because I didn't want to have any preexisting judgments about it. I'm glad I did this. There were so many polarizing reviews concerning this book, however, I don't know why that is.  The plot follows the main character, Nora, as she navigates what happened to a young man she finds in a magical forest. I loved it. The story plot was fresh, smart and intriguing. It turned into a mystery that I wasn't expecting and I chewed through it quickly. I ended up staying up all night reading (this never happens) because I couldn't sleep without knowing what happens. If you love mystery, magical forests and strong women this is the book for you. I gave this book 4 stars because I would easily read it again and recommend it to a friend.

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 This YA book is a retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo from a female perspective. I devoured this story because I enjoyed it so much. It is based on a revenge plot that came together beautifully. The writing is great and the word economy was on point. I enjoyed the twist and turns in the plot. The characters are unique and a breath of fresh air. The main female protagonist was smart and self sufficient. This is the fresh read I didn't know I needed. Overall, reading the book was well worth the time. I gave it 3 1/2 stars because I wouldn't reread it but I would recommend it to a friend.

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was awesome. Fae, magic woods, folklore, everything fantasy lovers can appreciate. Isobel is a talented painter tasked with painting dangerous beings. Isobel meets Rook, a Fae prince, who kidnaps her to take to his kingdom. Along the way, they meet obstacles and they must work together to survive. This story was everything I wanted in a fantasy book. I wanted a magical, dangerous adventure and that's exactly what I got. I loved Isobel. She is well rounded, intelligent and down-to-earth. Rook was fun, arrogant and seductive everything a Fae prince should be.  I gave this four stars because I would easily re-read it and suggest it to a friend.

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As we all know, "adulting" is hard and Sarah did a great job of capturing that on paper.  I enjoyed this so much. This is a series of comics that explain all the ironies of "adulting." The art is simple but fun. The comics are short and quippy. I laughed out loud so many times. If you need a break from the norm, just pick this up. It's a quick read and great break from the norm.  I gave this 5 stars. I would for sure recommend this to anyone and everyone and I am already considering rereading it.

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gigantic thanks to Frost Kay for this e-book in exchange for an honest review.  It's no secret that I love Frost Kay's writing and again this book didn't disappoint. I read this story when it was released as a series of novellas and I really enjoyed reading them again. One thing I love as a reader is being able to tell when a writer had fun writing a book. Frost Kay had a blast writing this story because that energy is translated on the page. The whole story is high energy, the humor is laugh out loud funny, and the characters are super lovable. This was just all around a fun read. If you need something that will lighten your mood and warm your heart this is for you.  I gave it 4 stars because I would reread again and recommend it to a friend.
