Still getting the mass effect vibes.

Trying to remember that this is supposed to be about a bunch of teenage boys, the language is a bit similar to how I remember kids in my teens.
The idea of the field trips was really cool! Where the kids are taken to the spot of historical events in one year and then that same spot in another year!

Hmmm don’t know about this book. I LOVE the movie. But the anti Christian rhetoric isn’t great.

Almost thought I was going to get my favorite trope. I am not rooting for Mal 😭 I want the Mal from the beginning of book 1, cool, unaffected, sarcastic, not the “oh but will you still want me if you fix the world” like for real dude? She’s trying to save the world. And oh by the way that would save your life and at least give you a shot…ugh!

So….much….cringe!! King of Hearts was unreadable!!

Ugh the betrayal!!! 😩

Soft DNF just not enough time for all the books

Almost don’t but gosh it’s been a struggle! I just don’t care much about the characters even though I can tell that the author does, and she’s trying to convey the love through the main character but there isn’t enough backstory

Ugh! 😩 sexualizing children. Talking about having sex at 15, and not with negative connotations just grosses me out! To the DNF pile. Maybe I’m doomed not to read secular contemporary romance.

Taking a chance on this book as a normally Christian fiction reader, but not a prude. I wanted to read something in the mainstream market, but don’t want smut. So far I’m enjoying the story. Definitely some of what I would consider unneeded profanity. But Blake’s character is done well so far because he is 100% a guy that I would have crossed in college!

The first novella was good. A really sweet story, and a quick romance with the story being so short. It’s sad how much BSA have changed in such a short time. The story and lessons were giving 5/5 energy, but because of culture changing it dated the badly dated the story so Stormy Weather gets a 3/5 for me

Cute read so far. Definitely could have finished this in probably two sittings in an afternoon, but I’ve been reading it with other books and it’s memorable enough to put down and pick up.

Pretty sure this is a DNF- 11 pages in and using tropes I’m not into. Also talking about sex in a nonchalant way in past relationships. (Having sex in his parent’s basement) Getting icky vibes this early, and knowing I have a lot better (higher rated) romances on my shelf, this for me is a no.

Odd feeling like this is a slow burn love story when they’re a married couple 😳 love the drama and dying for resolution!

Loving this book so far! “You’ve Got Mail” vibes and I am here for it!

Omg soooo good!! I love the display of anxiety and agoraphobia!

I’m enjoying to book! Interesting premise, I love the found family idea- absolutely LOVE Ms Lucy!

Oh my Gosh!! I loved this book! How is she able to capture the naivety of teens, and the jaded caution of adulthood within pages of each other! The story in the story is giving everything! I’ve cried twice already! This may be a 5 star contemporary! I haven’t had one of those! Maybe I will actually like contemporary too 👀

Enjoyable! Totally thought I knew where the story would go and it didn’t! I feel like I’m flying through the book when I’m able to read it!

Wow this is a lot of words to a page…the story so far is sad, definitely thinking of losing my best friend is hurting my heart. But I don’t care much about the characters at this point. I almost feel like telling Ingrid to get herself together! The beach-y setting is giving me all the summer vibes though. Going to give this to pg 100 before deciding but may need to DNF until I have a little more want to read

Barely started, but I got tired. Enjoying the writing, but it feels like it will take me a while to get through it.

Oh my goodness just had a laugh out loud moment in this book! Wasn’t sure I was going to like this, but glad I gave it a chance. The chapters are quick but there aren’t too many of them which is crazy considering it’s a 400 page book.

Woah!! What did I just read 😳😭
