a 12-hour scene book. good for my own reading slump era. it was amazing, to get to know more about Natalia and Ethan and the rest of the characters. when you love someone, everything is worth it; worth the wait, worth the risk.

i hate this book so much, i need the book two. don't leave me hanging like this! i want my ophelia and alex get back together! no, i really love this book. i just hate the fact alex didn't believed ophelia, well for a good reason, but no!

basketball player mmc & smart girl fmc. this book made me giggle all the time! it also made me believe in genuine, trusting love again (it’s the mmc’s fault btw). will definitely recommend this book in this lifetime.

culinary mmc & psychology fmc. i love the pairing, the story, the lessons. and excuse me? the mmc is a walking green forest just like daniel in the first book. definitely deserves my five stars.

friends to lovers. happened in the summer of february. it also involves hockey, which happened the mmc is a hockey player they called "zeus." it’s cute and cozy, i love this book sm!

soccer player mmc & scholar fmc. honest review? maybe it's just me or really just me but i don't really like reading books that have a lot of pauses, a lot of periods, redundant words, like that. the story plot was there, great plot.

swimmer mmc & mute fmc. their love story was so pretty, and i really loved men with gentle hearts. there were a lot of lessons, challenges, and realizations i had while reading this. but most of all, it had me giggling and kicking my feet!

billionaire mmc & screenwriter fmc. new york setting, which i loved! i just finished it after five days (bcs i had colds and a sore throat). but anyway, it had fake dating, second chance, and some family issues. the ending was really pretty too! it made me cry, made me giggle, and made me laugh (they bickered a lot with each other).

artist mmc & writer fmc. secret dating. friends to lovers. second chance. and i love isaac evans! he’s so soft, gentlemanly, and charming. the plot was great. i could’ve read it in one sitting, but since i just got healed from a cold, i had to slow down. but yeah, it has no spice, and as much as i cried a lot, i giggled a lot too lol. i really love the kind of comfort this book brought me. the ending was so pretty!

football player mmc & field hockey player fmc. i already loved the first book in the series, but i loved book two even more. fake dating, friends to lovers (slow burn), and all that longing and yearning for each other. i also loved how it included stars and constellations. i love it!

boxer mmc & nursing student fmc. tutor & player. college romance. opposite attracts. he fights, she heals. this is how you write a story, this book left me amazed. the plot was great, everything was great. i really enjoyed reading this story, it felt so realistic.

ex-child star & musician/singer/guitarist. psychology students. college setting. fake dating. past trauma included. found family. this book was so pretty. i love tristan harper, especially whenever he’s with goldie moore. the way this book made me realize that home isn’t always a place, but a person who makes us feel safe, seen, and heard. their love story truly touched my heart. love it sm!

hockey player mmc & figure skater fmc. found family. past trauma included. college romance. a little second chance. she tutors him French, he helps her skate again. this book is wonderful. finn taught me that being scared of hurting someone isn’t an excuse to hurt the person you love, and rory made me realize that it’s okay to be sad and that your emotions are valid. even though it took me a few days to finish (because i’m literally such a slow reader), it still made me really happy.

bodyguard mmc & internet influencer fmc. hate to love. age gap. a little slow burn. mmc is literally “touch her or die.” past traumatic events mentioned. so far, this is the best book i’ve read in the liberty grove story series. i love the dynamics of the characters and how they slowly evolved into people readers would genuinely love, not just like. if you’ve ever been scared to trust again or to believe in the good of people who actually care about you, then this book is for you, babe. i love how beautiful and life-changing the lessons it brought to me are.

book one of "stay with me" series. overprotective mmc. mental health issues and trauma. he fell first and harder. dark romance. forced proximity. this book shocked me. i thought it was just a chill read to get me out of my reading slump, but no! every single time, i was like 😲. and yes, oliver “ollie” masters is officially added to my book boyfriends. it made me cry and hate the situations too.

book two of "stay with me" series. overprotective mmc. mental health issues and trauma. he fell first and harder. dark romance. forced proximity. if book one left me speechless, book two doubled it. like… wow. who would’ve thought this book would actually worsen my trust issues with people because it really punched me. and if you love poetry, you’re gonna love oliver masters here. his yearning seriously leveled up.

book three of "stay with me" series. overprotective mmc. mental health issues and trauma. he fell first and harder. dark romance. forced proximity. ofc, for a little spoiler, they made it together. after all the chaotic happenings, they got married and they built a family. and oliver masters is a freaking yearner of lifetime!

high school theme. time-loop concept (valentine's day). forced proximity. second chance. ya rom-com. unexpected romance. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! yes you both won my heart, emilie and nick. they're both wonderful in this story. and yes, booktok didn't lie about how pretty this book was.

doctor mmc & writer fmc. friends to lovers (childhood friends). slow burn. second chance. dual timeline concept. summer reading. another five-star book i’ve read so far this year. knowing the adaptation will be released this coming june 10 had me giggling and kicking my feet. i loved the flashbacks and the flow of the story, especially the characters’ dynamic. i don’t know, but this one really touched my heart. in the end, they both chose to understand each other and leave the past mistakes behind because, after everything, they knew they were meant for each other. great book!

flings to lovers. photographer fmc. summer reads. open-door romance. ABSOLUTELY GREAT! as much as i loved the book one, this one's better. and i found another yearning man yet flirty guy in this book and it's the one and only Charlie Forlek! i love the chemistry, the plot, EVERYTHING. pls give this book a movie adaptation and we're all be good. and another yes, grandma nan's right — good things happens at the lake!

age gap trope. this made me speechless, angry, upset, growl, EVERYTHING. i get why some readers liked this, and honestly, i only read this book out of curiosity too. probably one of my guilty pleasure reads this year i guess (?) i still don’t know if i liked it or not. i liked the idea that she chose the other brother and hated it at the same time because of that freaking mountain house over the peak! finally, my heart can calm down now.

hockey player mmc & singer/musician fmc. fake dating. abus3d victims. college romance. why am i only reading this now? it’s such a great book! i only picked this up because i wanted to watch the series adaptation (and the fact that i’m reading this while watching the adaptation), and it’s freaking GOOD.

ya romance, happened in florence. no spice. it's such a heart-warming book—so cozy and intriguing at the same time lol. it honestly made me feel like a detective, just like the fmc. the romance was so cute! lina and ren have this really cozy chemistry, but it left me wanting more of their moments because it ends on a cliffhanger. overall, i loved it! currently reading this book. skipped the month of june bcs of some things needed to be prioritized + taong bahay mode. i just wanna read this kind of books for the rest of the year. if you already read this book, pls tell me how you liked reading it. 🩷🩵🍦
