I don’t usually like many books that are based off of movies but I had to give this one a try because it was based off of one of my all time favorite 80s movies The Breakfast Club and it lived up to the hype. It kept me reading for hours with all of the plot twists and diverse characters. All of the characters are written in depth and it leaves you wanting to know more. I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series!

Twisty and entertaining thriller about an unsolved murder and a group of college friends at a very Duke-like university. Lots of twists and turns, suspenseful, and also a really interesting look at the complexities of friendship, especially within a group.

This was one of my favorite books of this year so far. I really enjoyed reading about the trial and Lovely’s family history. I haven’t read the second book in this series but I really want to now.

I liked this one. I had read Throne of the Fallen before starting this series and I really enjoyed it so I figured why not go back and try this one,

Finished, and it was not bad but the main characters didn’t feel real or well developed. Not the big ending to the series I was expecting.

Really good and cute short read! This is a teen romance story mixed in with mythology. The characters are realistic and relatable and the ending is satisfying, even if it wasn’t what I had hoped. Overall would definitely recommend!

A beautifully written story that portrays important and realistic issues; the issues being both relatable and gut wrenching at times, powerfully showing the ups and downs of teenage drama, social dynamics, trauma, mental pressures, and finding yourself while accepting your differences.

I really did not like this one. The pacing was very slow. I liked the present timeline more than the past .

This was a dual-timeline historical novel set in present day and WWII, but a little different from most in that the primary character is the same throughout. Present day Colette is in her 80s, but still an active jewel thief. 1940s Colette was a child, but a jewel thief even then. But she's a jewel thief with a twist--she only still from the evil, and uses the proceeds to fund positive things. An engaging story with twists and turns, centering around a two-piece bracelet.

It was a different type of a book. I listened to it rather than reading it. I am not sure I like Cara. She doesn’t seem to self reflect about how she treated her son and what she did to him like as mothering him too much and throwing an iron at him. She doesn’t seem to really look at her own weaknesses.
