I’m doing my best at not being so judgmental when reviewing this. So bear with me! 😅 If life taught me a lesson is that you can’t judge others when you’ve never been in their shoes. Also, be careful of throwing stones, we all live in a glass house too. We are all human beings after all. We make mistakes, we make poor decisions, we make…

Everything was just so over the top, the characters, the dialogue, the scenes… it was like watching an old episode of The Three Stooges. So cringey! “The worst thing that ever happened to you is still the worst thing that ever happened to you. You don’t have to feel guilty that something even worse didn’t happen. That’s really fuckin’ stupid.” ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the Story Lake Series. Each one can be read as a complete…

I finished this wanting more out of the romance. “Keep your friends close and your lifelong academic rivals you’ve imagined kissing multiple times against your will closer.” At long last, Sadie has vanquished her lifelong academic rival — her irritatingly charming,…

She kept calling and texting him. Telling the guy how much she missed him. How she’s never gone a day without speaking with him that it was how hard for her, while she knew too well the reason he left town, the reason he had to distance himself from her. If she really was a good friend to Jackson, she would’ve given the guy the space he needed to get over her, even if that…
