Definitely didn’t hit as hard as Caraval and the pov switch turned me away from it a bit but still really good and necessary for the series.
Legendary (Caraval, #2) by Stephanie Garber

Much much better than Legendary I still think Caraval is the best but they’re all good and necessary to the series.
Finale (Caraval, #3) by Stephanie Garber

Absolutely heartbreaking! I’m not a crier but it almost got me. So so so sad but also one of the best novellas I’ve read.

I absolutely love the whole series! Got me out of a really bad slump. I fear these are now comfort books and will be read every time I get in a slump.

Soooo sad books rarely make me cry but this one succeeded, I literally love it and Finny and Autumn are my babies!
If He Had Been With Me

Better for younger readers but still a good read. Would recommend for 12-15 year olds id say. I loved it but it also matched my current situation so I think that’s the only reason I liked it being as old as I am.
The Upside of Falling by Alex Light

LOVE LOVE LOVE! So much sadder than the first book and I love them both.
If Only I Had Told Her (If He Had Been with Me, #2) by Laura Nowlin
