Brilliant writing. Lower ranking  because of how much discomfort I felt reading it.

Would've been more of a twist if the title wasn't a spoiler

3.5 Stars. I enjoyed this because it was a part of a broader series and it closed it all off. It wasn't my favourite in the series, but neither was “now”. There was a lack of female presence in this book that annoyed me, and some events seemed a bit far-fetched. The writing style is good though.

Loved O'Donoghue's writing style but found the ending a little bit anti climactic. Enjoyed this book regardless.

My favourite of the series so far !!!

A lot of reviews I read really seemed to overhype this book. I definitely still enjoyed it, but I think maybe I was just expecting a bit more considering what I'd heard of it. Some parts were worded a little confusingly too. Regardless, it was a good read.

That was a fun read. Light and silly.

2.5 stars. It was okay. Probably just one too many plot twists for me that all seemed a bit fantastical. Kyle is an annoying and selfish character. The writing was easy to get into, but the “waking up from a coma” trope just annoyed me. A sweet story overall, but just found it all a bit silly.

2.5 Stars. I liked the writing style, just not the story. Perhaps I'm missing something (or wasn't in the mood for this kind of book), but because I didn't find it very relatable I struggled to connect, understand or get too invested in the characters and their stories. It's nice reading books set in Australia though. Overall, wasn't a huge fan.

Super enjoyable lockdown escape. Heartwarming, light and well written. It was pretty predictable, but that's exactly what I needed this month.

An easy and cheesy read. I love Zoe's writing style. Keen to read more. A really good pick-me-up read

So hard to put down! Loved the characters and the story. So well written.

Wowwee was very hard to put this one down. So well written. Although I remember thinking “surely they won't make the wedding planner the mother of the boy from their school”. Way too many coincidences towards the end which I really enjoyed but also felt like a bit too much? Maybe because I read it so quickly it just felt like a lot.

Regardless, really enjoyable and will be definitely looking out for more of Lucy Foleys books.

Didn't finish reading but found it super informative and unbiased. It was a shock to hear the extent of impact the pill has on the body, and the fact that most isn't common knowledge when so many people take this medication.

The author seemed pretty concerned they would say the wrong thing and seemed to justify themselves often before exploring topics to ensure their intention/message was clear and not misinterpreted. A lot of the topics would have been difficult to write about well without seeming sexist, but I think Dr Hill did a fantastic job.

Would highly recommend to anyone on/considering going on the pill. It's important to understand the impact the medication is having on your body so you can make an informed decision.

This book was very engaging and I loved how the storyline was so complex. One thing that did bother me was a lot of the casual sexism throughout the book. Although it probably have a more accurate representation of attitudes of that time period, I felt that it didn't need to be romanticised. But perhaps there's an element I'm missing.

I really loved Nina's character, particularly her strength and change in attitude towards the end.

Another great book by TJR. Would recommend.

Put this at the top of your TBR!
It was quite sad to begin with which is why it took me a while to read it. But once you become hooked on the character it's very difficult to stop reading.
Fredrik Backman is such a talented writer and some of the best character development I've ever read.

Worth the hype! Such a thoughtful and uplifting book. I highly recommend giving it a read.

Probably close to the most I've been attached to the main characters of a book. Such a great reminder to appreciate every day and moment and find the beauty in everything.

I also loved that the author tied in perspectives of other characters whose lives cross over with the main characters. It's one of my favourite things about the book.

It was so lovely being a part of this journey with these two characters, I felt like I was walking along with them for their end day.

May be a bit triggering for some, but I would still highly recommend it. I felt quite anxious while reading this book, but as it picked up I found myself appreciating my life a little more.

An easy and quick read. I always enjoy Christian's book. My only complaint is that there seemed to be a plot twist at the end just for the sake of it, rather then it making sense... or perhaps I'm just cranky because I thought I'd guessed the ending and then there was one final twist.

Nevertheless, a good story and worth the read.

Didn't want this book to end. I love Dolly's writing style, and listening to her narrate the audiobook made it feel all the more personal. A highly recommended read to young women in their 20's.

Worth the $1.50 on Amazon. What a laugh

This book will stick with me forever. Eddie is such a beautiful and kind man and hIs positive and loving outlook on life is inspiring. A reminder to be grateful for your life and to spread love and kindness whenever and wherever you can. READ THIS BOOK!

4.5 - Jamie's character was so beautiful and inspiring. I felt that relationship was a little rushed and the chemistry felt a bit forced. But overall, I thought it was both a devastating but heart warming read.

I grew so attached to Claire and Henry, a loved watching how their lives intertwined. So heart breaking but also so beautiful. I really enjoyed this book. Worth persevering through the (slower) first half.

So impressed with everything Mich and Zara do. If it weren't for the (very very few) points that I didn't agree with, I would have given this 5 stars, because the majority of the essays were incredible, often brining me to tears. This book is moving, inspiring and does an amazing job of making you feel a lot less alone in your 20's.
