This was a solid 4.5 stars. I will read anything Christina Lauren puts out and I am guaranteed to love it, especially when it’s second chance romance. Watching Tate and Sam fall back into each other’s lives after Sam’s actions ended up ripping them apart in the past was beautiful. Tate’s constant struggle with herself in seeing him again and coming to terms with still loving him even after what he did to her felt so authentic. And as she learned more about him and why he betrayed her so long ago, I was right there with her as she started to defrost towards him. And SAM!!! Everything about him and Roberta and Luther made my heart swell and break over and over again. I wish Milkweed was an actual movie because I would love to watch that love story play out.

This was a cute, quick, and fun read. I liked the idea behind the novel, but I did feel the characters were not as well developed as they are in her other books (The Great Pursuit Series, Sweet Series, and See Me). Overall enjoyable, but not Wendy Higgins's finest work.

Tedious book, though interesting premise. If I thought I was witnessing the end of the world I would have acted a lot more desperate and afraid than these boring characters. some insights into racial tensions/different life experiences, but overall a useless, forgettable book.

I loved the book, excellent read!

A really great book! Found family, a cute romance, and a hint of sci-fi. A perfect fun summer read!

The last (maybe?) in the Grishaverse series by the delightfully gothic Leigh Bardugo and what a wild ride! I was very satisfied with how the series' hanging threads were woven together. We get to spend a lot of time with the fabulously rakish King Nikolai and the fierce Zoya Navalensky, but characters from the previous trilogy and duology show themselves as well. For anyone who has enjoyed the Netflix show, this is a series well worth diving into, especially as a summer read.

I loved the book, excellent information on my new eating lifestyle!

If you're a fan of the reality TV hit, "The Bachelor," this is a cute book that is almost exactly like the show, but with a twist. The main character, Bea, is a size 20 blogger who has achieved Instagram fame and is recruited for the show after a rant about the show never veering from thin, fit, and often shallow contestants. The book isn't all fluff -- it definitely makes you think about how much focus our society puts on looks and size. While this isn't a literary prize winner, the book is a great summer escape for the reality TV-obsessed.

I enjoyed this book; and even though it is a novel I enjoyed trying to figure out which real life people some of the characters were modeled after (because of who the author is and her political connections). The mystery is a very difficult one to solve, even though from the beginning we know who at least one of the "bad guys" is. A fun read with many thrilling moments.

Part allegory, part apocalyptic thriller, Millet's Pulitzer Finalist depicts how children may be our only hope in facing the devastating effects of climate change. I delighted in the descriptions of what must be the most horrible group of parents ever committed to the page and the way the children of the novel rise above the petty needs of the adults and take the helm.
