4.5-5⭐

Probably would have been 4.5 ⭐ had I not listened on audible. Loved hearing it in Trevor Noah's voice. This story takes you through both hard times but also some more comedic things.

3.5 ⭐

Super cute and fast read. Loved the idea of this book but was definitely written for a YA.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud while reading this book. I'm honestly surprised by I liked Skye despite the fact that she is incredibly self centered, however her inner thoughts dialogue was hilarious. Overall a fun read.

4.5⭐

I had a ton of fun reading this book. I felt it was engaging until the end. I'm rating it as so because I don't think it was so amazing that it stands far apart from other books similar.

I feel as though this book touched on a lot of interesting topics, but did not delve into anything fully. This book lacked any strong emotional connection to any character and I found myself wanting more of everyone story because of this.

I wanted to like this book so much. It was incredibly bothersome to me that Dominic would “hint” to Shay how he liked her to dress. I also kind of feel like them getting back together at the end was a little rushed given how Shay was feeling.

Cute book, fun listen.

I am only knocking off stars because I feel like this book had too many point of views with too short of chapters in the beginning. It was hard to really get a feel for each character and the significance their story brought

3.75 ⭐

3.5 - the main character continuously makes terrible decisions throughout the book – every chapter had me face palming with her stupidity. Ultimately, I kept reading for a rather predictable ending.

3.5 - this book was a really slow read for me. During the first 3/4 of the book I did not like a single character. I found them all pretentious and just so selfish. I did grow to like them in the end. I liked that everything was intertwined and made sense in the end, but it seemed like a stretch initially reading it.

I found myself wanting more of Vivek's story.

I'll start by saying this was a well written book however it was all over the place. I felt like I didn't know what was going on or the significance of the chapters until midway through them. It almost seemed like each chapter could stand alone as a collection of short stories more than one interconnected book. I'm still trying to figure the last chapter out. Maybe I'm missing something.

This was a super fast read. Wasn't sure what to expect going into it as this isn't the typical book I go for. At first it seemed very YA and kind of bad, but I do like how it touched on the topics of sexual identity and how confusing that can be for a younger person. I also really appreciated the teacher basically telling those kids to mind their own business when they were speculating.

Wow. This was a hard book to stomach.

The struggles this Mom faces are very real. PPD coupled with an unsupportive partner will never make a mother life easier. I honestly cannot believe all the hate I've seen this Mom get as what she was experiencing is a very real thing.

The author did an awesome job at putting you into her head and feel her emotions throughout the book. Every time her husband brushed her off it filled me with a deep sorrow for her.

So many things were done right in the book and really there isn't a great way to broach the topic. If you have an aversion to raw emotions or child loss maybe stay away. If you've never dealt with PPD or are judgemental towards those who experience it, spare your negativity and move on.

This had to be our most loved kids book this year

4.5 ⭐

Maybe would have been higher if I had read this in high school. Also why didn't I read this in high school...?

I had such high hopes for this one and it just fell flat. Nothing was surprising, there were no real twists (unless the glaringly obvious things were meant to be twists), there wasn't anything funny or really emotional to suck you in... It just kind of was.

My biggest complaint of the whole thing was the nonlinear timeline. It seemed so choppy and forced. I had the hardest time keeping track of the past chapters that it made everything kind of confusing.

Pretty terrible book but was a decent listen to get me through catching up on cleaning

Honestly I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this one. This book was perfect to get into the fall spirit. This book was atmospheric and had me not wanting to put it down (sadly, I had to adult a lot

It was your stereotypical romance. Nothing special just exactly what you'd expect

2.5 ⭐

It was cute and fluffy but otherwise unremarkable. I cannot get over the timeframe of everything. It seemed like way too much and also nothing happened. I also cannot picture Noah as described in the book lol

Very cute nature-y book witg beautiful illustrations

I feel like there was so much build up for the ending to reveal something we knew in the first 15% of the book. I enjoyed my time reading it but I am pretty disappointed with the ending.

Just not a fan of the poetry style sadly. The pictures were pretty though
