i’m actually reading a series for once
And I just finished book three last night! Now I neeeeeed to go to the library for book four. The City Spies series by James Ponti is clever, heartfelt, and so much fun. 🤩 I’m enjoying how easy they are to read while not sacrificing depth. Do you have a series you enjoy?

monday mini-review #4: The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West
⭐⭐⭐⭐ The angst and cuteness and consequences (!!) and adorableness of fake dating?! In a very pure, sweet YA setting?! Yesss. I especially loved Gia’s character arc and how Hayden wasn’t perfect. 🤍 (And Bec is a legend!) Special thanks to my sister for recommending this one. 😉
