Fun and lighthearted. These books are great, though this one's resolution happened just a tad too quickly in my opinion.

I absolutely adored this and I am so grateful Will encouraged me to read it to get out of my reading slump.

Between the moving and all the other numerous things in my life right now, I completely forgot to update that Will and I finally finished this.

Fascinating, a little gross, and definitely funny.

Fun, but I wasn't a fan of the third-act conflict.

Fascinating concept, but I found it a bit boring and a bit confusing.

So fun and so campy. I was just slightly confused by some elements of the plot, but I'm willing to let them slide because I had so much fun with this one.

Lovely and wholesome. I cried.

This was a super cute read!

Sad because I love this book series as a whole, but Gretchen was such a difficult protagonist to root for. Can't believe Colton apologized for so much that really wasn't his fault when Gretchen barely grew as a character, and I couldn't get behind the romance as a result of that.

Dare I say this book made me giggle.

Evidently I totally forgot to add that I was reading this but it was really quite good. I think it may have been slightly overhyped, though, so I think my expectations were a bit too high going into it. Regardless, Backman is a compelling author and I loved his writing, so I will certainly be picking up more of his work.

Very disappointed in this since I absolutely adored Cochrun's other work. But this romantic comedy often left me just feeling sad, and that's just not what I'm looking for in a holiday-themed romance.

Interesting story, but bogged down by a lot of superfluous details.

The science was actually very well-described, I was impressed. I only noted one area that didn't seem quite, 100% correct, which was so wonderful to see, especially from an author that does not appear to have a formal science education.

I really wanted to love this but I could not get over the FMC's lying. When I first read the synopsis, I thought it was going to simply be this one big lie at the beginning, but she was a pathological liar for the first 2/3 of the book and I could not get on board. For me, it made the resolution feel both illogical and improbable and I just felt bad for the love interest.

Now. I did like the writing itself, so I will be picking up Nava's next book to give her one more chance.

I learned a lot about a subject I'm not terribly familiar about, but I found it boring. I just don't think the author's writing clicked for me, unfortunately.

Could not have picked a worse time to read this, but it was really good. Definitely recommend.

It pains me to give an Ali Hazelwood book 2 stars because I usually love them, but this was not it. I had so many issues with this release and I'm really disappointed in it overall. This is her 2nd (that I know of) publication of the year, and I'm a little worried she might be starting to go through the publication cycle too quickly. I, for one, really value quality over quantity, so I'm hoping this is not the case.Ironically, I expected [b:Bride 181344829 Bride Ali Hazelwood https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1730451646l/181344829.SY75.jpg 185069024] to be the worse of her two releases this year. And I unexpectedly loved that book.

Listen, I'm totally biased with this one so I'm not going to go into too much detail, but I did learn a lot about a subject I didn't know too much about before!

Truly got me through two tattoo appointments, shoutout to this book.

I was very entertained.

Literally nothing happened and whoever categorized this as “horror” needs to think again. At least the writing was nice.

Overall, I'm a little confused. I still have so many questions. I'm not really sure what this is.

I enjoyed this much more than I expected I would!

Not impressed by this one and I was pretty bored for about 80% of the book.

Utterly excellent. As someone who would like to have children in the next few years, I've been thinking a lot about motherhood, and this book made me feel so seen with some of the fears and concerns I've encountered.

Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this!

I do wish some of the science fiction components were explained a bit better (particularly the “cold sleep” elements).

And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I could have done without the romance. If you can call it that. It felt really random and out of place, especially since it never really went anywhere.
