All The Feels

Someone Stab Him

The Pleasant Surprise

I was not expecting to like this one at all, but wound up loving it!

The Big Disappointment

I'm sorry, but I just did not like this book. My initial thoughts were much more positive than how I feel now, because as time went on, I disliked the book more and more. I did not like Lily or her reasonings, and as someone who's experienced similar situations, I feel I'm in a good position to say that. I despised Ryle, and the excuses made for him.
Atlas was the book's saving grace. 

Book Boyfriend Harem of the Month

Even if I stand by my wish that the series had been kept to the original 5, I will always love Barrons.
