Ok ok, it's all looking good right now

Oh oh, this book is going to wreck me

This is a great book, I felt Larissas and Chris chemistry and connection and LOVED that they were friends for a year. They're a perfect match and so selfless. Chris is the definition of acts of service. He poured so much into his friends, especially Mike, and I truly didn't know how Larissa and him could be together without ruining his friendships. Loved the resolve and would definitely recommend this book.
4.5 stars

My main point is, that I couldn't connect to the main characters and was often weirded out. The characters are unique and have a different view of life and how it should be lived. I sort of liked Phoebe's and Lila's friendship especially at the start, but it was definitely not normal. I was happy that Phobe and Juice got along nicely and that Phoebe went through a good character development.
Still just 2.5 stars

Ooop, there are some new developments👀 Still think this book is proper weird

I really expected this to be a five star read since it was quite hyped, but up to this point I couldn't get into the story.
It was a surprise to know that Gary and Phoebe have a connection and chemistry. I feel like there is a lot of drama waiting to happen...

I loved Haley's debut novel!
She touched me with her writing and the characters grew close to me. I could relate to Blair more often than not. Grief is a big topic and was handled beautifully.
And even though I saw the answers to Blairs questions a lot sooner, I still was encapsulated in their love story.
4.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Dolly is a wild one

This is so cute🥰

I definitely flew through the pages. I loved the plot, even though it was cliche at times. I could relate to all that friendship trouble and really got to like Angus same as Natalie did. I was rooting for Rob and Natalie. It felt real.
But in general the story won't stick with me for long, so I'm giving this 3.25 stars

Wildes Buch, Rob und Natalie sind finally auf dem richtigen Weg. It's been a tough road

Wow, I cried a few times, which I did NOT expect. I was completely immersed in the plot and felt every up and down with my whole heart. I loved the main character Helen and Jake and learned to love the rest of hiking group as well. Miscommunication was a big part of the story, that's why the rating is lower, but the ending was pretty cute. Really lovely quotes throughout
4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great so far, I like the characters. Jake is really charming and caring🫶🏻

Was ein PLOT TWIST! August opfert sich für Cara🥺 Und sie wird mit Nic reunited🫶🏻

Die Spannung ist too much right now. Aber ich bin erleichtert, dass Nic wieder in England und damit auch in Sicherheit ist. Und sein Retter ist auch noch Philippe, my man🫶🏻 Ich liebe book crossovers!

The story was intriguing, though I only connected with Billy. I guessed the murderer fairly early, and Jet’s swearing felt a bit over the top. That said, the book was very digestible, a fast, engaging read that kept me on my toes. The ending was crazy.
Jet’s relationship with her mom was also a touch too disrespectful for my taste, even though the letter to her at the end was genuinely sweet.

3.75 stars

Easy and sweet winter romance❄️
Izzy and Lucas are fun and multilayered main characters. The communication wasn't the best for most of the book, which was quite annoying. But they pulled through and used their strengths to push each other and save the hotel and christmas.

3 stars

At first I didn't connect with Lillian and Ryan, but as soon as Jet was in the picture, Ryans addiction ripped me apart and I was protective over Lillian, Jet and Elise. Lillians death shocked me and ever since then I feared the death of others. Nanas took me out for good. But I loved Jet and Kendi together and their happy familiy.
This book was easy to read, hard to put down and filled with a lot of truths.
4 stars

This is my first Elin Hilderbrand book, but it won't be my last. The whole day I was engulfed in these characters, I was happy, hopeful, anxious, mad and devastated with them. I felt with Mallory and Jack throughout the 28 years. They were meant to be, destined, soulmates and their love was strong. My heart broke with theirs.

I loved the different point of views and the story was not repetitive at all.
4.75 stars

A.J. is a man with a hard shell, but the softest spot for the people closest to him. His relationship with Maya was the sweetest and Amy fit right into their dynamic and hearts.
The writing was right down my alley. The story was perfectly told, somethings were left in the open or puzzled apart for the reader to pick up and put together at another point in the book.
The story moved me and will stay with me!
5 stars

I liked the main characters and the family dynamic, but it all felt a tad to movie-like.
The setting was perfect for the story.
What made me kind of mad, was how the hurt Sam and Wyatt experienced was never truly acknowledged and talked about. They just forgave each other and moved on.
And I never got the "Sam, I am" thing...
3.5 stars

Harry und Ellen sind ein echt tolles Team, welches sich wunderbar ergänzt und challenged. Die life-altering decisions waren genau richtig für die Beiden und nachvollziehbar.
Ich liebe es, dass die Charaktere aus den zwei vorherigen Büchern appearances haben und deren Geschichten dadurch weitererzählt werden🫶🏻
4 stars⭐️

Uff, was war das?! The end suprised me, because my heart held onto Emma and Jesse to the bitter end, even though my head knew that Emmas decision was reasonable amd right for her!
The message of the boom is clear, but my heart didn't let Sam in, which led to me feeling disconnected.
And not me sobbing and rereading the last two pages😭
The writing is once again top tier. Love you TJR🫶🏻
4.25 ✨

The WRITING😍 So many incredible thoughtful and beautifully worded quotes! I'm in love with this friend group and maaan can I get someone like Wyn🥹
4.75 stars, might be a 5 stars...

Uhh I liked this one more than I thought. The family dynamic was intriguing and it was such a page turner for me. The sisterly bond was adorable and Mack added so much to the book.
Solid 4 stars, would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mack is making the right decisions. I hope Scott ends up buying the captian's house after all

Everyone is finding love again

Hihi wiild! Scott buying the house was not on my cards, maybe Lauren and Mack can just stay with him then 👀

Rereading this gem🫶🏻

Hat nicht geklappt das Buch actually im Frühling zu lesen, but here I am at last.
Marlies character ist für mich nicht relatable. She's a wild one, aber die Hintergründe ihres Verhaltens sind reasonable. Glad she changed overtime.
However Georg ist ein Schatz. And his patience - unreal!
Opa Heinrich is simply a legend and a matchmaker🤭
Love the faith based background.
