Boys who stand girls up for prom should end up with a beer gut, a large hairy mole on their face, and a distinct body odor that no deodorant could eradicate. It was only fair.

I had been wanting a light and fun novel to read. I got that along with full on laugh out loud moments from beginning to end! First, I fell hard for the cover. I mean, it is such an eye-catcher! And then Cristina from @cristiinareads sold me when she would share screenshots of some hilarious moments of the story and I knew I had to jump in.

I'll be honest, I was expecting a whole lot more from this novel. I've been getting into CLo's books lately and I've been enjoying them a lot! But this book fell a little short for me, sadly.

First book I read by Maya Hughes and definitely not the last! I'm honestly on a role in books I'm reading. They've been super funny and The Perfect First is no exception.

Before I left for a life of theorems, dusty old libraries, and crushing expectations that threatened to swallow me whole, I'd make this a year I'd never forget ... This was going to be the year of perfect firsts.

Let's Chat: How Do You Rate?

Recently, a lot of people on Instagram have been sharing how they rate books and I want to share how I do it, and would love to learn how you guys do it, too!

Addicting & Heartfelt Page-Turner: Top Secret by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy

Top Secret blew me away! I went in expecting one thing, but I got so much out of it! Sarina and Elle wrote a story with so much heartfelt depth that I was sympathizing so much for the characters. Even though it had so much depth and the feels were real, it was also funny, deliciously addicting, very swoon-worthy and a page-turner! I was actually in a meeting all day when I picked this up and I was hiding my phone so I could read it! It's that good!
