Welcome to Litsy!

I love how Lukas was definitely YEARNING for Scarlett at the very end, and admitted that he actually had been from the very start.

“Always in the palms of your hand, Scarlett.“

EXCUSE YOU. I WAS CRYING, GIGGLING, LAUGHING AND KICKING MY FEET.

This is the first Ali Hazelwood I didn‘t read the second I could get my mitts on it, and that will never happen again. I was put off by some marketing that this was darker, and I didn‘t love the drama in Not In Love and worried it would be similar, but this is a new all-time fav, exploring a dominance and submission kink in a super hot, emotionally complex, and still giggle-and-kick-your-feet worthy way—trademarks of all my favs by this author!

Another great #TBRtarot pick this month. This was like the hunger games but with mortals fighting to the death for each Greek God as a way to decide who will rule the world. I loved it and it ended on quite the cliffhanger so I‘m hoping the next book comes out soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Summer, an ambitious final year student collides with Aidan, the hockey captain, for a final project. Summer can‘t stand Aidens carefree approach to life. Summer has a five year life plan. Bickering turns to banter but will banter turn to feelings? The two MCs are the perfect enemies to lovers. They overcome several milestones. Many small moments make this story unputdownable. I‘ve already ordered the next book in the series- Spiral.

Nope, this is just bad! DNFing

This book was so good. Part of my felt bad for Asa and what he went through as a child but part of my hated him too. So glad Sloan got a happy ending she deserved.

April 7, 2025 My new TBR stack. I (sort of) read White Fragility a while back when I was in college but it has been a while, let me tell you so I am rereading it from start to finish. I am also planning to read Deep End by Ali Hazelwood and The Orphanage By the Lake by Daniel G. Miller

I‘m still chasing the goodness of the first book I read by this author… and this was just so-so. There were some good scenes and live the small town, but didn‘t believe in these characters or their relationship. The upside: 3 squares for April‘s #ISpyBingo and 1 for March, plus a #WickedWord - Massachusetts.

Figure skaters & hockey players are meant to be kept separate. That‘s until the hockey rink‘s flooded & Anastasia‘s figure partner‘s injured, he claims, by hockey player, Nate. They have to share a rink & Anastasia has to practice w/ Nate.

I actually liked this one despite other‘s bad reviews. I liked both of the MCs character arcs. There was good romance. It was a little longer than it should‘ve been & the writing could‘ve been a little better.
