end of year BOOK TAG *2025* 🪩🕺📖 | best books, worst books, biggest surprise, new fav author & more!

I like the characters a lot. I like how thoroughly fleshed out they were and honestly a lot of things about this book were really good. Unfortunately, I was a little bit bored throughout.

I just find Daisy's character to be so complicated, so complex, so unique, and yet so relatable. Like, she's not relatable at all, and yet the way that she feels things, and the way that she processes things is so relatable.

I loved this entire YA romanty duogy. I thought it was fantastic.

Loved this. This is one of my favorite books of the year. So incredible.

I am also obsessed with the Into the Dark cover. I just think the gold metallic is absolutely gorgeous and stunning. I love that it also has a gold spine.

I read this book and it was so good. I loved the characters in here. I loved the plot and how there was a little bit of a plot twist.

But honestly, the amount of hype and the amount of things that I'd heard about this book made me think it was going to be like a five-st star. But it was definitely not as impressive as I thought and like a little bit slow to start and a little bit confusing to start and it clicks eventually, but I just did not connect with this book as much as I thought that I was going to.

I didn't like the characters. I didn't like the choices that they made, especially the main character. I hated her.

This romance was incredibly refreshing to me. I thought the writing was amazing. I thought Winn and B, their characters were so fun and so fleshed out, and I felt so emotionally invested in the two of them as individual people and characters, but also their relationship and when they started getting together for realies.

I rated it five stars. I loved this book. I loved this entire YA romanty duogy.

And I did not guess the ending. I wasn't obsessed with the ending, but overall really enjoyed this book and was definitely surprised.

Her writing was so easy to comprehend yet also so impactful. Like I feel like I felt everything so deeply and it wasn't hard to like understand or communicate those ideas. And she just everything about this book felt so well researched.

And this romcom was so funny, so good. It wasn't again like a perfect book, but I was smiling, I was laughing, I was giddy. And it's just so fun.

But I will say the second book in the series, Two Twisted Crowns, was worlds better. And so I absolutely still think you should read One Dark Window. So, you can go read Two Twisted Crowns because I thought the series ended very, very well.
