Oh my goooodness! This book. ❤️
I was in a desperate mood for a good romance book and when I got this gem for christmas I knew I had to read it asap.
It's my first book by Emily Henry and definitely won't be my last - I adored her writing style, her sense of humour and basically everything else! Such a funny, cute romance with amazing characters that are a little different than your usual romance-book MC's.
The characters were ALL lovable, the relationships were great, this whole bookish world was fantastic and the story itself was... pure? Like, there was no unnecessary drama just lots of character development and two people falling for each other. I loved it so, sooo much. 🥰❤️

Five Survive by Holly Jackson
fast-paced
3.5
This was my first read by Holly Jackson and since everyone seems to enjoy her books a lot I had high expectations. And well, I'm not sure if she fulfilled them because I'm still very torn on how many stars I should give this... hmm.
It's not what I usually read but the blurb really intrigued me and I was super excited to get into the story! What I liked about it was that reading it felt like watching a movie - I had all the scenes in my head and could picture everything very well.
I had some trouble getting into it at first though, at times it was also a bit boring and I had no real connection to our MC Red or even anyone else of the characters. I think they were okay and I "liked" them but I didn't really care much. 🤷
They were all different though and I liked their dynamic and seeing how each character reacted differently in certain situations. Also, I just have to mention it here somewhere: I freaking hate Oliver. What a disgusting person, honestly. 🤬
Some things were a little predictable but others I didn't even think of! Overall it was fast-paced and towards the ending I really couldn't put the book down thanks to the cliffhangers at the end of chapters.
The ending was... well idk? I kind of liked it (especially the letter!) but also I'm a little meh? I probably won't be thinking about it for long because I just didn't care as much. Still it was a good book and I flew through it super quickly, it was easy to read and overall enjoyable!
