100 Days of Sunlight by Abbie Emmons! Squeaky clean, barely any innuendos if any, so much fluff but angst too! My favorite book and it’s soooo cute! 🌻🌻🌻

Minor spicy scene: (very minor, described as more cute lol) Chapter 39. Vows in the dark, page 308 until the end and the first part of chapter 40.

How is everyone liking Divine Rivals so far?

What are some songs y'all associate with Divine Rivals? I'll add to our playlist for this BOTM!

I finally got my copy of Divine Rivals today (borrowing from a friend), and I'm VERY excited to start it and take part in this month's BOTM!!

Hope you guys enjoy! I’m so sad I’m not reading it as it’s so high on my TBR but I am in the middle of TOG and I just can’t read more than one book at a time lol

I've already read this book but what I can say is this book was pure perfection to me. Roman is literally my boyfriend and Iris is literally by best friend. The politics are enjoyable for me and I think it is such an interesting concept. I LOVE Rebecca Ross's writing more than anything.

yay! that's so awesome!! What did you rate it?

i ended up giving it four stars! it was really really good and met my expectations lol

nice! i also gave it 4 stars, but looking back i feel like it was more of a 3. for whatever reason, the romance felt boring to me? and it was hard to find a plot to follow. but the writing was so so good and i really wanted to love it lol.

I hate feeling like I was supposed to love a book! If you didn't like it as much as others that is your opinion, and some books just aren't everyones cup of tea
