Gave it a 3.5! had a really good twist in it that had me audibly gasp, but there were parts that made me feel a little lost.
Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney
4 star rating! I remember reading this and finishing part 1 and thinking “WHAT?! okay keep reading”
The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks
4 star rating! This was one of the first books I read that got me back into reading after YEARS of not picking up a book #ad
Then She Was Gone: A Novel: Jewell, Lisa
5 star rating! I really did like this book and I am very excited for the movie. Hopefully it gets executed well. #ad
Verity: Hoover, Colleen

5 star rating! I really liked this book, like really liked it. #ad
The Housemaid: McFadden, Freida
1
4 star rating! This was so good. There were moments where I felt like I could really put myself in the characters shoes, which for this book was scary. #ad
Run on Red: A Thriller eBook by Noelle West
4 star rating! I really like this book. I thought it was interesting all throughout and left me questioning the next word, sentence, chapter, etc.
The Stillwater Girls
2 star rating! I read this book pretty quickly, but I don't know it wasn't my favorite. It definitely is not the author, I enjoy other books by her, this just wasn't for me.
The Perfect Marriage
4 star rating! This was good. I liked the twisty road this book keeps you on.
Don't Let Her Stay by Nicola Sanders, Penelope Rawlins
Romance
On average I gave the series a 3.75 star rating. This series was so good, the second book was my favorite 👑
Twisted Series by Ana Huang
4.25 rating! Easy read, felt nastalgic at moments, but I felt like the ending wasn't very realistic which made me feel a little eh but overall I thought it was a super cute book. #ad
Every Summer After: Fortune, Carley
3.5 star rating! Honestly this dark romance is really good. I know there is a pretty iconic scene/topic in this book, but really I think the context of the reality of a different heavy topic is worth talking about more, but that's just my opinion.
Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #1) by H.D. Carlton
3.5 star rating! a hockey romance was not something I thought I would be interested in, but you learn something knew everyday. #ad
Icebreaker: A Novel (Maple Hills Series)
5 star rating! mmmm I would not actually give this a 5 star now, but I am pretty positive this was the very first book I read that got me into reading and since then I have read a lot, so for that the 5 remains i guess. #ad
It Ends with Us: A Novel: Hoover, Colleen
4 star rating! I really liked this book, but I remember wishing it was shorter. It felt very long for no reason.
Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout, #1) by Lucy Score
2 star rating! tbh I could barely finish this book. I really did not care for it at all and I feel alone in this thought. #ad
People We Meet on Vacation: Henry, Emily
3.75 star rating! This book was so cute! predictable, but what romance book isn't lol. The main character was a little annoying, but like it fits who she is, so I was able to overlook it
The Love Hypothesis
4 star rating! This is an amazing spicy book. This is the first in the series and I really liked it and recommend it, if you are into these types of books.
Praise
3 star rating! I thought this book was cute. Due to it being a YA book, it reminded me a lot of a past version of myself and my outlook on love.
If He Had Been with Me
3 star rating! Very sad, but I really like it. Easy read.
November 9
5 star rating! I sobbed reading this. I read it in one sitting and could not stop crying.
Ugly Love
4 star rating! 2nd in the series. This was amazing spice wise. I just like these books because they are fast moving, straight to the point and tbh you don't have to be very invested to understand what is or isn't happening.
Eyes on Me
4 star rating! This was a fun take on a peter pan.
Hooked
4 star rating! This book has a lot of opinions, but honestly outside of the one scene everyone seems to be obsessed with (which only lasted like maybe 2 pages) I really liked the book. Yes it's dark, strange, weird, spooky, etc., but it also gives a ...
Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse Duet #1)
3 star rating! I loved the unexpected love story that was taking place. I think I would have rated it higher had I known I was going to be getting the love story I did
In Five Years
Fiction
5 star rating! Wow…just wow! such a good book and really impactful on the realities of what was happening within the concentration camps. #ad
The Tattooist of Auschwitz: A Novel
4 star rating! This book was better than I expected it to be. The whole time I was very interested and I think that the overarching message of the book was endearing. #ad
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
3 star rating! tbh this is another one I really didn't care for. it was easier for me to get through, but overall I didn't care for it. #ad
Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel: Garmus, Bonnie
2 star rating! I liked the beginning of this book, but then it just got soooooo boring if it wasn't for the fact that it's a pretty short book I probably wouldn't have been able to finish it
Diary of an Oxygen Thief|Paperback
3 star rating! Tbh I enjoyed the movie more, BUT I saw the movie first years ago and so that's all I had in my head. Had I read the book first I think I would have a different opinion.
This Is Where I Leave You
3 star rating! This book was good, I really enjoyed the concept of it, but I personally didn't love the over message. The way I read it, it felt like an escape for mental health in an ineffective way as someone who struggles with depression. I don't ...
The Midnight Library
DNF! I STRUGGLED to get just through the first 100 pages and could not get myself to continue and I probably will never read more of it.

5 star rating! I think evey parent should read this book to better understand their child and to better support their child with emotions. Bonus is it often helps the parents also understand themselves better. #ad
The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Strategies
4 star rating! I read this while in my grad program and tbh I liked it a lot. It allowed for room to reflect and gain the perspective of aging that I feel most people don't have/avoid.
Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson, 25th Anniversary Edition|Paperback
4 star rating! This was such an interesting book, I loved being able to hear about something like this in this perspective.
