I’m pretty harsh on my book ratings, check out my Goodreads and you’ll see very few books have 5 star ratings. So this list isn’t just a list of books I kind of liked, or every single one read - it’s a list of stories that had me invested,, pondering long after the covers closed, yearning for my real life to slow down so I could get lost in one more chapter. With that said, here my 5 star favorites.. and a few strong 4 stars (because what’s one more to the TBR list)
