i've never really been a fan of mermaid books but because i loved amanda hocking's other series i thought i would give this a try.

uh.

it was.

...alright?? i guess. i'm stickin around for amanda though.

God, I love this series so damn much.

(also, side note: do not listen to EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE MALEC SONG War of Hearts by Ruelle while reading this because you will cry in the real)

this book sucked fat pancakes

I cried twice don't talk to me

this is so sad alexa play the act on hulu

THIS. BOOK. GAAAAAHHHH.

I'm an emotional mess.

I have received an Advance Reader's Copy of this book through a giveaway hosted by the publisher. This has not affected my rating or review in any way.No plot, one-dimensional characters, and an unsatisfying ending.Sigh.Don't waste your time on this one, folks. For a book with a better, well-written plot and a hilarious main character that could knock Tess out of the park, I suggest [b:Firecracker 16101041 Firecracker David Iserson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1351678221l/16101041.SY75.jpg 21911342] by David Iserson.

I'm grounded... so I secretly finished this book sitting on the floor of my bathroom with the door locked.

This book really changed my view of Will now that I know why he acted like a douchebag throughout the entire first book. This book also made me ship Jessa 500% more (THEY GOT ENGAGED FDDHKBFSSJS). Still not the biggest fan of Wessa though.

Random Shit I Wrote Down In My Notes While Re-Reading Tower Of Dawn Because I Just Wanted To TBH:

• Ah, Chaol... I did not miss you lmao
• This book is so heavy... man

you guys are gonna burn me alive for saying this but I think that this is Leigh's best work and it was so much better than the Grishaverse books imho bye

“Stick to your TBR”, they said. “It'll make things so much easier,” they said.

Predictable, but cute nonetheless.

spoilers! both mara dyer and noah shaw marry me in the end. the reason is because i said so. /j

I guess you could say this book... broke my heart.

Random Shit I Wrote Down In My Notes While Re-Reading Empire Of Storms Because I Just Wanted To TBH:

• The last chapter of my last read (Lodestar by Shannon Messenger) ended with Nightfall. The first chapter of this book is titled Nightfall. What the fuck-
• Every time they mention the Bane I think of the Bubbleshock drink from The Sarah Jane Adventures

2.5 Stars

Boy, doesn't this book make you want to bake like a mom hosting her kid's Girl Scout troop's bake sale?

This is just such a cute story! The main character, Lara Jean Song-Covey, is a WOC and the relationship she has with her sisters is the most precious thing. Peter is also an adorable puppy and I just asdffghjkl.

I love this book.
