Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
3.75
R.F. Kuang is amazing that she can write so well in multiple genres. For this story, Juniper is very unlikeable but that is what makes the story. The satire of problematic authors, social, media, etc walks the line between exaggeration and truth and is so good.

This is a wonderful story that could benefit from some editing. Parts dragged and at the end, seem unnecessary. This book could lose 100 pages and still be great.

Bad Nature by Ariel Courage
3.25
This book was ok. I didn't personally connect with the character but some might. The ending was disappointing, there were plenty of better ways to end this.
The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
2.0
I can't quite put my finger on why this book wasn't for me. The writing/characters felt flat. I wasn't engaged and didn't care what happened to anyone in this book.
The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray
4.25
I really liked this story. The time period and characters cover aspects of the world and people's lives that I didn't know much about and it has encouraged me to look into things more about this time period.
The Last Town by Blake Crouch

Ethan tells the residents of Wayward Pines the truth about their living situation and chaos follows. This was a great end to the trilogy.
