Omg!!!!! I'm both happy and sad that I've finally finished the series, but this was an amazing conclusion to the story!! I can't wait to continue on with more books in this world!!
OMG!! My heart!! So much happened in this book, and so much happened in the last chapter alone, I can't even begin to process it all! And the ending!!!!!
This was a dnf for me. I just couldn't get in to the characters, and was mixing up the different perspectives early on in the book. I haven't read any wedding planning centered books until now, and they're just not for me. But if it sounds like something you would like, you should give it a try!

I really appreciated that all of the characters acted like realistic teenagers, and how they all had their own flaws. It was great seeing all of the family aspects and how close Nishat is with her sister. There was also some great character development, not only in Nishat but in her parents as well. It really showed how parents aren't perfect either, and how with more information someone is given on a certain topic, their opinions can change. I absolutely flew through this book, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a light read!

This was so adorable! I love how it was lighthearted, but also dealt with heavier topics. I also really loved both of the main characters!
It reminded me a lot of Heartstopper, which I loved!
I would definitely recommend picking this up for a cute, quick read!

This was so cute! It reminded me of a mix between Red, White, and Royal Blue, I Wish You All the Best, and Running With Lions! I loved all of the characters, and Julián's relationship with all of his friends!
I can't wait to own a copy!

I really enjoyed the unique storyline, I thought it was an interesting take on a Cinderella retelling! I just felt like the story was really rushed, and I think it would have been better if it was longer. I also wished there was some more world building, and character development, but overall it was a great read! It reminded me a lot of Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan! I would recommend giving it a shot, if you're looking for a quick fantasy or retelling, or if you enjoyed Girls of Paper and Fire!
Yes I know that this book was very predictable, but I couldn't help but love it! I love Margaret Rogerson's writing style, the world she created felt so magical and beautiful! And I honestly really liked Isobel and Rooks characters, and although we didn't see much of them, I really liked Isobel's sisters as well! I'm excited to try out her other book!
It also reminded me of Cinderella is Dead by Kaylnn Bayron, for some reason. So if you enjoyed either, I would recommend the other!

(I will probably pick this up again in the future, I'm just not in the best mind set for it at the moment.)

This was a really cute, and quick read! It felt nice reading a book set in the winter, in July! I don't know anything about pinball, but I loved how the book took place in a pinball arcade! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cute, contemporary read!

Sophie Gonzales is one of my favorite authors, so when I saw that she was coming out with a new book about a boy band, I was so excited! If This Gets Out read a lot like fan fiction to me in the beginning (it's probably because I read a lot of boy band fan fiction when I was younger) and it definitely wasn't a bad thing. Although it did effect my rating. Overall this was such a cute, fun, and quick read, and I really enjoyed it!
I would recommend picking it up once it comes out in December, especially if you enjoy reading fan fiction!

This was amazing!! I loved the bisexual representation, it also handled biphobia so well!
I loved Darcy's relationship with her sister, and her sister was also amazing!
Darcy's character growth throughout the book was really well done, and I love the person she became in the end!
This is definitely one of my new favorites, and I would recommend it to anyone!
