I just read Once Upon a Broken Heart and I seriously thought I'd regret reading it. I'm currently on Legendary and I'm kind of glad I introduced myself into Stephanies world by reading it before Caraval. I swear it helps me understand Caraval in a perspective that people who read Caraval first cannot experience. I also find that I preferred OUABH over Caraval so I think that helped spur me along to read Caraval after so many years of putting it off.

It’s not that she’s naive it’s that she wants to be optimistic like I personally love to see a character actively reach for her happy ending bc of this world full of fairytales. My only complaint is the pink hair lol idk that played too much into the “red hair” = protagonist trope, I think it’s perfectly fine if she were to be a brunette but I still love the book.

The Haunting of Hill House book- never read it, but when you were describing how the house was haunted, it reminded me of a series I read called Dream House Kings (book one is House of shadows..., I think?). Great series, the house has that odd, spooky nuance that you described for the haunting of hill house.

if I had your face was one of my fav reads from last year! cool to know it's super accurate. Malibu rising sounds really good!

I always forget The Hating Game has smut...even though I've read it THREE TIMES. I think it's because my favourite parts are the humor and silliness, and a lot of that takes place before the smutty scenes.
