I recommend looking up trigger warnings for this one.

I might have read this one in one day, and mostly in one sitting. Did I plan to stay up reading until 1:40 am? Absolutely not. Do I have regrets? No. 

I loved this book, and got sucked in straight away. It gave me all the feels, including almost making me bite my nails.
I loved that there was an actual plot, not just sappy romance the entire book(though I love those too!). I also loved that there was some spice, but not every other page in great detail. Would highly recommend!

I recieved this as a free ARC from the author, for an honest review

It took me a little while to get properly into it, but I ended up really liking it. Loved how there wasn't just the typical love story, but also a mystery.

I thought the book were ok, but I despised Cinna and her choices. I did 't think the book was poorly written or anything. I read it in 2-3 days. I just hated her character (or lack thereof). If you like reading about unlikable main characters, this book might be great for you. Turns out I don't, apparently. 

I recieved this as an ARC.

Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters

Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.
Didn't read the blurb well enough before starting it. Not interested in kid/pregnancy stuff, and also wasn't a fan of the characters.
