Sadly this mystery book wasn‘t what I expected, the characters were bland & I could predict most of the plot twists. The positives were the third act of the book other than that it was not groundbreaking in my opinion.

melzen @TheAromaofBooks thank you 😊 it‘s going pretty well since I don‘t have any schoolwork left for this semester and starting uni after the summer so it‘s exiting. Now I have more time to read and for hobbies 3y

I‘m so glad I took a chance on this one! #travelthroughbooks took me to Mexico for this gothic historic read. Truly creepy at times this was a solid read and if you haven‘t read it add this one to your summer read list! #mexico #mayread

Amazing romance, a warrior protagonist, in general I liked the plot. The poetic way the author wrote some sentences and wisdom in the book is the best part. 🌑

Going against the grain here and giving this a pick. A soft pick but a pick nonetheless. This is a Peter Pan retelling and it‘s spicy and a RH read. So if that‘s not your cuppa avoid. This one does end in a cliffhanger. #peterpanretelling #mayread

I have to tell you at the beginning of the book I didn‘t think I was going to be able to handle Nora. But I stuck with it and once again this author delivers a solid read with depth but not so much you‘re drowning. Perfect summer/beach read. #romantsy #travelthroughbooks #travelUSA #northcarolina #mayread

If I had one complaint about this one is how the ending seemed harsh in how abrupt it seemed. This is #reesewitherspoon book club pick and I loved it. There was something so romantic and heartbreaking about how the first Oxford Dictionary came to be and How Esme found her place. Have Kleenex handy and settle in. #bookclubread #mayread

Ugh I‘m so conflicted about the rating for this book. I‘m going to give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because there was just something that kept me from fully connecting. Perhaps it was Holly the granddaughter of Wendy. She was rather difficult to like. It was though a unique take on the Peter Pan story. #peterpanretelling #mayread #springread

Aims42 This was my BOTM pick this month, but I only picked it because I was more interested in the add-ons 😆 I kinda bought it with zero exceptions lol 3y
KristiAhlers @Aims42 smart 🤣. I think I came with overly high expectations. To be fair the blurb sounded intriguing. But Holly was just too…I don‘t know what to call her. 🙄. I liked that Peter was dark though. So some “like” points. Let‘s just say I‘m not keeping my copy and I‘ll donate it or pass it on. 3y
Aims42 @KristiAhlers That‘s a perfect summary 👍 I totally know the ‘borrow don‘t buy‘ scenario 😆 3y
KristiAhlers @Aims42 the struggle can be real! 😝 3y
