Heartless by Elsie Silver

Elsie Silver has once again proven why she’s an auto buy author for me after reading this book! Cade is SUCH A GRUMP and I love him so much for it. Reading book 1, Willa was easily one of my most favorite characters, and I frequently blew up my bestie’s phone with things like “Willa just said _____.” It’s no surprise to me that I also loved her in this story. I’m not huge on age gap romances for my own insane reasons, but I thought it was done well here. Overall, I loved everything about this book. I had an absolute blast while reading it, and it now sits on my shelf as one of my most treasured books.

Flawless by Elsie Silver

 This was a FANTASTIC start to this series. Summer is sent to clean up Rhett’s bad boy image as the daughter of his manager, and up and coming PR executive. There is only one rule - they are not to date or mess with each other. GUESS WHAT RULE THEY BREAK. I absolutely adored this. Summer and Rhett are such a perfect match, and it’s hard to read other romance books after submerging myself into this world. This book was exactly what I needed, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Gallant by V.E. Schwab

 Welp, turns out I loved this book. As a reminder, this was a book I purposely didn’t read because I was scared it wouldn’t live up to the hype in my brain. As it turns out, I didn’t have to worry about that at all! This is such a fun, creepy, atmospheric read! I do wish the shelves had waited to give me this until closer to spooky season, but that’s a minor complaint. I freaking love the beautiful illustrations included in the book. They really made this such an immersive read. The characters and setting were perfection. It very much reminded me of being a kid watching Are You Afraid of the Dark, and that eerie feeling left after they pour the water out onto the campfire and all that’s left is smoke.

Take Me Home by Melanie Sweeney

I’m glad I jotted down notes when I read this book because it has not stayed in my brain at all. I finished this book mid April, and I have already forgotten it.  I don’t mind a miscommunication trope, but the things this couple fought over were so freaking petty. They could have easily resolved their problems by just taking 30 seconds to talk things over. This includes disagreements each of the main characters had with their family members in the story. Additionally, I really couldn’t stand the FMC. She’s pretty toxic, and the MMC deserved better. She’s supposed to be this really intelligent phd candidate, but she’s about as mature as the average 13 year old. Hard pass. At my age, I’m tired of books where the FMC is immature for the sake of the plot. Taylor Alison Swift did not win the great war for us to have to put up with FMCs like this. There’s also a third act breakup that is just completely unnecessary. The characters seem flat and not properly developed. Add all of this tog...

Ask Again Yes by Mary Beth Keane

 This book was extraordinary but damn was it sad. I got this book a million years ago and didn’t read the blurb before I dove into the read. Everything is just so devastatingly sad. It was almost difficult to read at times. If you plan on reading this, make sure you have something lighter planned for immediately after you’re finished.

Sleepless by Romy Hausmann

This book was not what I expected, but I had a blast with it all the same. It was kind of slow to start at first because of the way the story was being told. It definitely is a puzzle you put together over the course of the book. The ending was absolutely insane, and I gobbled it up. I’m not usually one for slow burns, but this one was fantastic.
