this was my first time ever reading this book and i had so much fun!!!! it was better than i expected and i cant wait to continue. also im team peeta, at least for now
2.5
cool formating, great audiobook but the story was just basic and very confusing (on purpose i'd imagine). i didn't guess who done it but I think it was impossible to do so despite the books tag line
this was so fucking disgusting but ig that's the point. 2 stars purely bc it was written very badly lol
3.5
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE EPIDEMIC OF THIS HERE CRACK PIPE
read this in one day, it was very similar to the first book thats why its one star lower but still a crazy read as always. freida puts crack in those books.
3.75
im so conflicted!!!!!!!! i loved the atmosphere and the premise of this story, there was so many plot twists that i did not predict at all but idk why this was so confusing to me
oh I devoured this book in one day, it was so fucking good. such a infuriating, uncomfortable but also cringe (all the text messages where a grown ass man tried acting like a teenager) read. I was fighting between closing the book and punching the wall but also wanting to keep reading to find out what happens next. even tho it's a ya book it didn't feel like it at all, besides ofc the main characters age. it was so well written and gripping and the commentary was done so damn well I feel like this should be a necessary read for teens around enchated age. I cannot wait to read everything by Tiffany D. Jackson now
idk abt this one. nothing was thrilling or twisty, it was just well written and interesting so it had me very invested but then nothing really happend. also the husband is still a pedo and I don't like how the book tried to change the narrative lol. also the last chapter has me very conflicted coz idk if she's lying or not but also it doesn't really change my opinion abt the book. based on the booktubers reactions I was expecting something way different and once again I was disappointed !
as someone who's niche interest is anti multi-level marketing content, I ate all the stories and insides into being in one UP. this book has its flaws, especially at the end but I also didn't come to this book trying to learn new stuff bc I pretty much know most of it already. yeah the virtue signaling was cringe at times and the last chapter made me eye roll at her, but at the end of the day I just wanted some entertaining recounts of being in an mlm and I got it
3.5
as someone who LOVES found footage horror i was so excited to read this one (especially after the authors note and his love for that genre) but sadly this was just mostly fine. the beginning and ending of the collection were great, middle was terrible resulting in 3.0 avrg rating for the whole thing but im bumping it to 3.5 for the experience alone. it was so fun reading all the stories and the ones i loved will stick with me for longer bc of how good and memorable they were. im also aware that found footage works best on the screen and its hard to write a story like that but even with that said some stories were just boring, not scary or simply had a trope i didnt like.

im so sad...
i was so excited for this book after loving the gggtm trilogy but this was just okay to me. the characters, setting and pacing were great; loved the reading experience and was sure ill give it 5 stars but then the reveal happend and it was just so underwhelming and i guessed most of it earlier but hoped i was wrong. its not a bad book at all, just not my cup of tea sadly
2.25 stars
i guess Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke was a fluke

I usually don't read books with 0 plot just vibes but this sounded so cute and warm. I listened to the whole thing while building a house in sims 4 and I think it was perfect for that!!! There was some plot but mostly it was just a book abt starting/owning a coffee shop and everything that goes into that and I really enjoyed it. Its only 3.5 stars bc sure it was a good time but I will forget abt this book tommorow and that's okay. I really liked the characters so I'm excited to read the prequel (also bonus points for being queer)
4.5
SO GOOD!!!!! small town thrillers always have my back and reading this at the lake in the woods was amazing. i predicted some twists but there was so many of them i didnt mind. loved the characters, the little romance and the way it was written
no rating bc I struggled with understanding some stuff due to english not being my first language. this was very informative, especially the second half of the book. my favourite chapter was the one about AI, I had no idea about most of this stuff and the whole chapter I was just mad and had no words. overall very sad to read this at this time seeing how all the progress people in Palestine made has been destroyed yet again
3.75
I really like this book so far even doe it had slow/boring moments but the last chapter was very good and made me excited for book 2. My favourite pov is definitely Leesha and i cant wait to see how her character evolves in other books.
4.5
THE EPILOGUE???? god im so excited for the second book now. decided to read this one coz it has my favourite tropes and once again i was not dissapointed, this was so good
why do i keep reading short stories knowing damn well i dont like them
not rating coz it was simply just not for me ❤️
