Zodiac Academy by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

 Heavy sigh. I finished this book about a week ago and have been so torn on writing this review because I’m still not sure how I feel about this book. Did I love the campy nature of the writing? Yes. Did I love another book about magical boarding schools? Obviously. Did I enjoy the stupid boys who repeatedly forced themselves on the girls. Not a chance. Did I feel like this was 200 pages too long? You betcha.

Also, while I understand Darcy and Tory are twins, it felt like they had zero differentiating personality traits. If the chapters didn’t have their names at the top, I never would have been able to tell them apart. 

Regarding the 4 boy heirs that kept trying to “flirt” with them, I could not have been more disgusted. Maybe that’s because men are the literal worst right now. Maybe it’s because I’m too old to think these types of relationships are cute. It very much felt like “he picks on you because he likes you,” which, absolutely freaking not.

I only really want to continue this series because I like magical boarding schools. To me, I don’t feel like the book has any other redeeming qualities.

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 ...

 I should have stopped at book 1. That’s it. That’s the review.
