    It's always a good sign when I finish a book in a day. It was a cute, fluffy read. A sequel to the cheat sheet (in an interconnected way). Fast paced and enjoyable. I can see how much SA has grown as a writer when I compare the Cheat Sheet with the Rule Book.

    This book was advertised to me...I think on Instagram, and something about the premise interested me. Reminded me of 2010-2015 fantasy. The plot is a little ridiculous, but fast paced and fun. The writing wasn't bad. It was multiple pov, and kept me interested enough to continue the trilogy! Curious to see how the plot continues. 3.75 stars

    Cute novella! I want to explore more CC books cause of this. I liked the murder/mystery & romance hybrid. I heard she's famous for this style of plot.šŸ¤—

    Very cute second chance romance. I do feel EL did a little less with the plot. It felt like there were so many side stories and none of them felt very strong. It should have been maybe 3 of them but it was closer to 4? Entertaining, cute and quick to get through. I think I enjoyed this one better than the Break Up Pact!

    I really enjoyed this one for a YA fantasy. I think some of the themes were a bit mature, and definitely recommended for older young adults, think 16-18. There were some aspects I absolutely loved, and some things I wish they delved into a bit deeper. Not of a fan of the dual love triangles. But the way the first book ended got me very excited to see how the next book is going to continue! 3.75 stars
