Lovely banter and good chemistry between the main characters and the smut scenes were just the right ammount of explicit without being cringe. But the pacing was off in the first half of the book and the story itself was way too long. The first third of the book could have been shortened for sure.

Know My Name by Chanel Miller

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
Seems like it will be very well written but now is not the time for me to read it. Too triggering and upsetting but maybe in the future I'll get back to it

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
Was intrigued by the concept and the cover but absolutely hated the writing style. I understand its probably a choice considering it's first person narrated but it feels very much like early 2000s style wattpad fanfiction and nothing seems to happen in it. Not for me
