The Perks of Being a Wallflower has been one of my top 5 favorite movies since the first time I ever watched it. I love it so much and I finally sat down and read the book and was blown away. It was absolutely incredible, so much more was put into it (like most book to movie adaptions). Still, Patrick was my favorite, I really felt for him a lot for what he had to go through, as well as Charlie. It somehow didn't make me cry like the movie did but nonetheless, still a beautifully written book. I had high expectations and this book exceeded them. Brilliantly done!

... ADAM!!!! I LOVED Adam. He was such an asshole to everyone but Olive and it was beautifully done. Plus he's based off Kylo Ren so picturing Adam Driver definitely helped me love him a bit more hahahah. I loved the fake dating trope being written between a professor and grad student, it made it very interesting to see how people changed towards her, especially since she's “dating” the hardest professor.

I loved this book and can't wait to hopefully read more of Adam and Olive's relationship.

.... HOOOOLY ..... I was NOT expecting that huge plot twist at the ending..... This book had me on EDGE the entire time I was reading it. I was scared of Verity because of how she was portrayed, it was crazy. This is my first like thriller romance and I loved it, definitely spiked my anxiety a lot, but worth it because the book was beautiful. I wasn't a huge fan of the MC at first but I grew to tolerate her and like her a bit. Just at first.... Not so sure of her.

Overall, I loved this book a lot!!

i LOVED it ends with us because it hit home in the ways i needed. i was a little worried going in to the book to read anything i related to, but i related to Lily in nearly every way. the love story was brilliant and i love love love Atlas. i liked Ryle at first but the first time he hit her.... i was done and over him entirely. i'm now a believer of one and done when it comes to that because i let people do that to me for far too long..... Lily and her mother were so strong. I loved Allysa (i can't remember how to spell it) and Lily's friendship sooo much, she was the best friend EVERY girl needed in those situations because despite Ryle being her brother, she refused to let Lily go back to him because of how shitty he was to her. Atlas deserved so much better and i hope one day to read a book on Lily and Atlas' future, i would looove that so much. i love Atlas.

i absolutely loved window shopping! i thought it was a super cute love story. i loved that the MC was an ex-con, i thought it added a lot of pizazz to it & was like a second chance at life type instead of second chance romance. it was adorable, plus Aiden was absolutely amazing. suuuuch a cutie (but also HOT when it came down to it!!!!!)

I absolutely loved this book. it was a good first book to a series. I loved that you got to take more of a look into both Lo's and Lilly's addictions. I also really like that it wasn't romanticizing addiction. I love Lo and I think he's a sweetheart. The plot twist at the end with Ryke I kind of saw coming but still was shocked. The ending was absolutely beautiful and made me cry at least five times. I started the book not really liking Rose but ended the book kind of loving her. she's such a good sister to Lilly!

honestly I think everyone should give this series a try.

honestly, i really loved maria and gabriel's story a lot more than i liked alex and luci's.

i loved how they both immediately were attracted to each other but maria didn't want to admit it. i connected with maria a bit on a few different things, the bad past with family as well as just how busy she was (i was BUSY in HS), so i loved seeing her finally find someone who loved her for her and how busy she was AND her past.

they both truly loved each other and it was beautiful to see how much gabriel wanted to work for her love and trust. i also LOVED gabriel's grandpa sooo much, he was so funny. i loved the scenes with him and june. absolutely adorable.

i loved gabriel being described as looking like ryan reynolds because .. who's going to complain about that?! and he owns a bakery?!

overall i LOVED this!

Oh... my... gosh... I LOVED this, I couldn't get enough !!! Will and Genesis' banter throughout the first portion of the book was so amazing, it fit so perfectly but once they started being a team for the contest, he quite quickly became such a sweet man to her with the right amount of banter still. I loved seeing their relationship go from hate (although he truly never hated her) to love. It was so beautiful to see them mesh so perfectly into each others friend groups and families. I'm a sucker for a good hate to love workplace romance and this book did NOT disappoint!!

I loved seeing how Genesis, her sister and cousin all interacted with each other and just the closeness of the three of them. It reminding me of me and my niece when we were younger. I miss it sometimes but like Genesis said multiple times, it happens!

I really connected with Genesis on a few different levels, honestly how her brain thought about relationships was roughly how mine did until I met my boyfriend. I loved seeing her come out of her shell with Will and being able to read her thought process through it all, it was stunning.

I love how interested both Will (Japanese-American) and Genesis (Dominican-American) were in the others cultures and foods, it was sweet.

Thank you so much Anna Salcedo for blessing me with an ARC of this book for an honest review, I can't wait for your next release!

i think it was super cute. i loved alex and how much he loved luci. (plus a teacher!! come on!!)

i didn't like how ‘dumb' luci was with sebastian like ugh .. he was such a fuckboy ..

i loved it nonetheless!!

It was definitely a different read, but I really liked it. I was definitely confused for the first like 2 chapters but then I kind of called the ending. I wish there was more so I could find out what happens later

such a cute love story

i went into this book pretty blind, besides knowing only the names of poppy and alex. i was shocked on how quickly this book sucked me in. i LOVE alex. i feel like he's someone i would truly get along with. total book boyfriend material. i was trying not to get my hopes up at the beginning because anything can happen... but the ending was so bittersweet. i couldn't put my kindle down at all today.

I finally was able to sit down and read this book and o m g – I LOVED it. It was such a beautifully written love story with twists, turns, challenges, etc. If I could recommend one book to someone wanting to start reading rom-coms, it would be this one. I absolutely loved Piper's character growth, it was so amazing to see.

I loved this book. I went into it blind, I didn't check the trigger warnings, which I definitely recommend if you decide to read it. It is a very emotionally-heavy book, but it has an amazing ending. The entire book is amazing, just very graphic in ways.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick and easy read. It always kept me wanting to know more and more. I'd recommend if you're in a reading slump and/or like mystery and thrillers!

honestly, it was really slow at first and then about half way through it got reeeeally good. i liked this one maybe a tad bit more than the first!!!

rupi kaur is one of my favorite poetry authors, so it's not surprising that i loved this book. Iive loved all of her books so far. i just read it in one sitting which took roughly 30-45 minutes. i thouroughly enjoyed it! i tabbed and highlighted my favorite ones (which were a lot of them). i definitely recommend if you like poetry.

honestly, i really enjoyed this book. this was my first book by Colleen Hoover that i've read and i certainly was not disappointed. this book is the first book to make me cry in SO long and my first five star read in quite a while. i loved all of the characters (besides Dillon obviously) and the character growth was inspiring.

dnf'ing at 8% bc i wasn't vibing with it and then read reviews and read something that i know would trigger me. 

not a bad book, just not for me, mentally. 🫶🏻

?!?!? winnie and archer!!!! i've said it before and i'll say it again, if kat singleton writes it, i'll read and devour it!

this book was a lot so definitely check trigger warnings! but with that being said, i loved it

single parent x hockey romance will forever be a hit for me. this was absolutely amazing. there were times where i was like “there is NO way this is someones DEBUT” it was that good! Felicity (one, beautiful name) and Jon had my heart the entire time and i love them so much. i can't wait to read zach's book!

i had a really good time reading this!! i loved the black cat x golden retriever dynamic between hailey and levi!! it was so so cute and reminded me a lot of my boyfriend & i at times!! also the mental health rep!!!!! her issues with abandonment hit HOME to me.

also... if you weren't sold on it already... it's a slow burn with no third act breakup

I wanted to say thank you to the author and Peachy Keenas for an ARC copy of this book!

It was a wild ride to say the least and it hit... very close to home in some aspects that made me so emotional but not in a bad way entirely!

I really enjoyed this. I think the spice was phenomenal, but it didn't like... “WOW” me if that makes sense. I'm still super excited to read more in the series and more of this authors work!

First and foremost, I want to thank the author and Peachy Keenas for the ARC of this book!

okay... I usually HATE cliffhangers but... WOW this one has had me thinking for days now. the pure tension had me soooo hooked. I also am a huge sucker for anything that's Why Choose so... it just makes sense!! with each and every twist and turn i was hooked even further into it and could not put it down until it was explained!

This was my first book by Elizabeth Dear and definitely won't be my last!!!

Now I think I speak for soooo many... Can we get book 2 now?!?!?!?

it's just not for me :/ i might come back to it though
