This week, I’ve been feeling that familiar tug-of-war between wanting to devour every book in sight and wanting to curl up under a blanket and hide from the world. Maybe it’s the season, maybe it’s the stack of half finished reads staring me down, but either way, my reading life has been a mix of quiet triumphs and unexpected detours. So, in true confession fashion, I’m here to spill the honest, cozy, slightly chaotic truth about what I picked up, what I put down, and what absolutely swept me away this week.

★★★☆☆

This book was entertaining and kept my attention through most of the story, but it really fell apart at the end. The setup was strong, the tension was great, and I was invested in where it all might lead, only to feel let down when the finale didn’t quite deliver. It wasn’t a bad read, just one that left me wishing the payoff matched the promising build up.
