Haunt Your Heart Out

I don’t know where to even begin with this one. I Requested it because the cover was adorable, And it looked like a great spooky season read. The only good thing about this book is the cover. I wish I was the type to DNF, Because I was ready to do that less than 10% of the way in.

The “romance” between the two characters felt so rushed and lacked any kind of substance. It was very hard to root for them, Especially because the guy had no personality in the girl was just absolutely insufferable. Her abandonment issues and gaslighting everyone around her into thinking that they would ruin her life if they weren’t by her side constantly was really gross. Multiple times in the book she tells a character that they’re ruining her life because they want to go off and do something in their own lives and that is just so unhealthy. She makes her parents out to be these giant villains and then after you find out more about them, you actually realize that Lex is the villain. She’s a mean, miserable girl, and I truly hated reading about her.

This isn’t a love story. This isn’t a spooky mysterious read. This is just a jumble of really bad characters, Repetitive writing, and a book with absolutely no substance. This book Made me not want to read any other spooky theater romances this year, and that is such a shame.

I’m not even going to share the cover here because that’s how much I want to make sure no one else reads it.

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.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill. She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet. I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living ...

When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry

If you thought I hated Great Big Boring Life, just wait until you hear about my thoughts on this one! Seriously, I think Emily Henry and I are about to break up forever. It’s not me, it’s her. The premise for this book was really fantastic, but the execution was a total failure. The characters weren’t engaging, and I found myself hate reading this one. There are too many monotonous characters that run together, and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. There was supposed to be a found family trope somewhere in this one, but maybe I missed it because I was too busy rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it all. Speaking of stupidity, let’s talk about this “ending.” This ending filled me so full of rage that I was stomping around my house yelling “do you believe this crap” to my dog. Spoiler alert, she didn’t get it either. I would say the only good thing about this book is the cover, but that’s ruined because of the steaming pile of trash that was the ending, so I can’t ...
