I just wanted to say thank you. This year i started watching your videos and then a few other BookTubers and you’ve all inspired me. I have had the goal of 12 books in a year for YEARS. Last year i read 2. The year before 1. This year I have already finished SIX books! It’s crazy and i am so happy to be reading so much. Meeting new characters, discovering new worlds, different lives. So thank you, thank you times a million. ❤

Just remembered sorry for 2nd comment but “the do over” reminds me a lot of “before I fall” by Lauren Oliver which was also a movie. It’s a young adult romance about a girl reliving same day over and over again and I wanna say it’s also during Valentine’s Day but instead of her just relieving it she dies each day too. When you were talking about the do over I was like I swear it sounds familiar.

After you finish the addicted/ Calloway sisters series you should read their kids book which is the like us series by the same author. Also Some Kind of Perfect is the best book out of the whole series and revolve around the core 6 which is the whole family from the series. Also read the bad reputation series after addicted and calloway sisters it included the books Whatever It takes and Wherver You Are. The Whole Addicted series, calloway sisters, and like us series is really good.

I feel this!!!
Definitely suggest “the hating game” if you want a better enemies to lovers in a rom com. And lol I also gave addicted to you 3 stars nothing really stood out to me besides Rose and Connor. But I also never continued with the series because I’m impatient and heard first 2 or 3 books were ok and then it’s like life changing and I know I would just skim book 2 after hearing that.😂 Maybe read “love kills” series by Brianna Jean. It’s only 3 book series so far not as huge but it also talks about addiction and in my opinion does it even better, not romanticizing it at the same time there’s a beautiful love story and lots of found family.

YES!! Yes, yes. Yes. Finally! Someone else that isn’t stingy with 5 Star ratings! I can get why some people choose to be rigid in their criteria for picking their ratings but it’s just not me. But when someone says I really enjoyed this one so 3.5 Stars. WhAt?? My main factor is my personal reading experience. In fact, in January I reviewed a book and said here’s several reasons why I shouldn’t give this 5 Stars. But here’s the like two reasons I’m giving it 5 Stars anyway. I stop trusting reviewers that constantly and consistently give 3 stars. 😬 I’ve found that when they initially review they say “I liked it, it was okay/fine so 3 Stars.”Then if they speak on it after some time, a lot of the times it goes to “I really didn’t care for this one.” So, you just didn’t want to be harsh. Be honest with yourself so you can be honest with people that check out your reviews. (That’s me speaking generally to everyone.)
