The Wedding Game by Meghan Quinn | Romance | ★★★★★/5
The cover is terrible, but the inside is hilarious. I was crying-laughing more than once. Luna was flawed but lovely, Alec was v steamy, and all the side characters were fantastic- esp. Farrah, Declan, and Naomi. I laughed a lot, but the book had a lot of heart, too.

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig | Magical Realism | ★★★/5
I am clearly in the minority, as I did not love the book. It was interesting, and I’ve never read a story like it, but it was predictable. And I felt like it had a naivety to it. I did not connect with it. I believe it’s a soft spot to land for those in the thick of depression, and that’s absolutely lovely.

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes | YA Mystery | ★★★★★/5
Inhaled. I literally inhaled this book. I couldn’t put it down. It was so enjoyable and I immediate put a hold on the second book in the trilogy once I’d finished this one. The brothers were so unique. Avery is a badass. Every chapter had me turning pages. My only complaint is that everyone is so young so I feel weird having literary crushes on them. LOL

Midnight absolutely had a naivete to it. I did not connect to it like others either but I definitely see why it is well loved.

I agree with that. Maybe in my late teens/early twenties I’d have connected better…

The Wedding Game sounds like something I’d really enjoy. I liked the Midnight Library only because it was like no other book I had ever read but I can’t say I Loved it or it was a Favorite.

I will have to check out Wedding Game. I didn’t care for Midnight Library either. I never connected with it and decided to let it go and not finish it.

That was smart. I should’ve probably let it go… Oh well. I think you’d like The Wedding Game, though!

Oh gosh I loved Midnight Library! I always get nervous though to read popular and well loved books – because it’s too much pressure to love it!
And isn’t The Inheritance Games so fun!? I’m looking forward to the 3rd book. I get what you mean with the YA crushes, haha. I didn’t used to feel this old 😂
