I don’t think I’ve ever hated a main character more lol This was almost like reading Juni’s personal journal. The whole time I was reading it, I was ranting and raving to my boyfriend lol

I feel as if this book has fundamentally changed me. It made me realize just how lucky I am to have gone to school from a young age.

finished: 3/7
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This just wasn’t that great for me. I was bored throughout most of it.

As someone said on Goodreads, “Three women in different time periods who like nature are treated horribly by men. That's it, that's the book.”

rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tried reading this physically and I had a hard time so I switched over to audiobook and WOW. I loved it. The audio narrator was incredible . It’s a compelling story. I felt all the diff POVs bogged down the story a bit.

I don’t understand why I don’t read romances more when they have me feeling some type of way every time i read one. This was sweet and I loved it.

11. The Stolen Queen by Fiona Davis

started: 2/6
finished: 2/12
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a fun and quick read. I felt that everything was resolved too conveniently, to the point that it was unbelievable. The plot was moved forward by coincidences and wild guesses. But other than that, I did enjoy it.
