After being broken up with Ellie decided she didn’t want to be seen as the boring person her ex thought she was. She agreed to go to summer camp with her twin brother. Ellie learns how to not care what people think along the way and even make some friends while she’s there too.

Loved the queer and autistic representation in this book. The main character was written so well and I loved seeing the development with her. And of course, I really love the summer camp setting. The friendships made along Ellie’s time there was so wholesome.

Went into this because of the Goodreads challenge and this was the only interesting book with no holds on Libby and I’m glad I gave it a chance. It was a big read and didn’t lack details but there was something really intriguing about it too.

Lucia wants to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps and run the Viking Museum that had been in their family for generations… though some things might get into the way of her plans and the odd boy lurking in the museum was only the start of things.

This book had supernatural elements and an overall eerie atmosphere that really brought the creepy factor up a level. This definitely lived up to the creepy vibes I was hoping for. There was so much lore and disturbing history in this book and I loved it. The way the story was told was lovely. The main character clearly loved her town at the beginning, she knew a lot about it only to be met with new facts, traditions she didn’t know.

Also, the formatting of this book is so pretty. The art at the tittle pages and at the top of each chapter is really a nice touch.

Was it a little reckless for Kit to run away from a forced marriage and aboard ship with pirates instead? Yes, of course. But also one of the best decisions he has made.

I had such a good time reading this. The vibes lived up to the hype I had for this book. The characters were well written and had good depth and the plot of this was interesting too.

Also, absolutely adore this cover; it’s so stunning.

Going on vacation with him close friends is all fun and games until his ex is also going on the same cruise. They are forced to finally confront why they ended their relationship in the first place. Their friends not so casually try and help them in the process.

This book was everything. Absolutely loved the characters, the plot, the romance, and all the queer and disability representation. It was all written so well. Owen and Jacob were literally so adorable, the tension between them and their history was amazing.
