I don’t why this took me so long to get to! Maybe cause Marcella and I are way too similar?? I loved this I just wish there was a smidge less of the self doubt and a smidge more of Theo changing his perspective on the page.

A wonderful debut and I’m thrilled we’re getting more from her!

Thanks Forever for my advanced copy!

This somehow helped me come to terms with not pursuing a career in government and with a lot of anal….

This was such a great time start to finish. I had no idea where this was going but if I trust anyone to deliver absurdity with heart, humor, and heat it's Kimberly Lemming.

Sounds Fake But Okay: An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on Love, Relationships, Sex, and Pretty Much Anything Else by Sarah Costello, Kayla Kaszyca

A great primer on the a-spec! Love how they broke down the different facets as well as showed how they overlap. They admitted where their knowledge lacked as cis-white women and made sure to include as many intersectional perspectives as they could!

Unnecessary HP references 😭

 This was so close to being a new favorite! The first half flew, I was having the time of my life, I thoroughly enjoyed the build up for Henry and Jac's relationship...Margot was bugging me but redeemed herself. I was rooting for a throuple and the ending was ambiguous enough it's safe to say I got one. Overall, a good time, there were just parts that I wish received more development earlier on.

 Thank you NetGalley and Simon Teen for my advanced and gifted copies!

Kayla has never disappointed but this might be my fave yet. This was everything and more I wanted from a Twisters-inspired romance. From the delicious and toe-curling spice to the deeply scientific and to my non-storm chasing brain, accurate chasing scenes. I felt like I was watching Glen Powell in 10 years and I ATE IT UP. anyways if you need something relatively quick, hot, and a really good time, Whirlwind is for you.

This book fcks. In more ways than one. This is tied (possibly usurped) with Bride as my favorite Ali Hazelwood. Only Ali could make me *not* want a dual POV because I'm scared of how obsessed Lukas's inner monologue would've been I probably wouldn't have made it. This book had me giggling and kicking my feet on the highway. 

thanks Libro.fm and Berkley for my advanced listening copy
