Book of the Month by Jennifer Probst

Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.
Thank you Blue Box Press and NetGalley for the DRC of Book of the Month. All opinions in this review are my own.

I DNFed this one at 39% and I am disappointed about it. I loved the opening few chapters and the premise, but I felt weird about Aspen paying Brick to break her heart, especially since she already tried to "seduce" him (which bordered on harassment).

Thank you Harper Perennial and NetGalley for the DRC of Eddie Winston is Looking for Love! All opinions in this review are my own.

It is so easy to fall in love with Eddie from the opening pages. I loved seeing how he interacted with people and was able to figure out what they needed. I understand the need for the flashbacks, but I felt like I was always impatient to get back to the present.

Thank you Allen & Unwin and NetGalley for the DRC of Love, Just In. All opinions in this review are my own.

I am DNFing this one at 9%. There is a lot of health anxiety right from the start that I wasn't prepared for and it is overwhelming.

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the DRC of Wish I Were Here. All opinions in this review are my own.

Normally I love books that have a touch of magic and a cast of quirky side characters, but I struggled to feel invested in this one. I loved The Second Chance Year by the same author so I went in with high expectations. I was also expecting this one to be more of a romance than it was.

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the DRC of Hot Hex Boyfriend. All opinions in this review are my own.

I liked the premise of this book and that it is about a witch who doesn't have her magic yet, but unfortunately, I had a hard time getting into it. The romance itself is cute but I was expecting Delia to get powers before the halfway point and was disappointed when it took so long to get there since it made the actual magic portion of the book feel so short.

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the DRC of All The Water In The World! All opinions in this review are my own.

I felt like this one had all of the stress of reading a dystopian book but hardly any of the action. It was slow start and I didn't love how every obstacle the characters faced seemed to be easily overcome.

Thank you Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for the DRC of I Might Be In Trouble! All opinions in this review are my own.

Much like Weekend at Bernie's, the first part if I Might Be In Trouble is full of dark humor and chaotic misadventures. While it does take Part 2 a little while to connect to the events in Part 1, it is worth it. I didn't love the ending, but I do recognize that the situation makes it difficult to have a satisfying ending.

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the DRC of Love in Bloom! All opinions in this review are my own.

The premise of Love in Bloom is really fun and it is easy to fall in love with the cast of characters in this small town! I didn't love the time jumps because it made Emma and Dan's relationship feel like instalove at times (even though it wasn't).
