A Good PersonKirsten King

But also, I didn't hate this book. So, I think I have to land on like a three because I don't think it's fair to say that I dislike this character and that's a flaw of the book because that's what the book is going for.

I was let down by where I thought the book was going and the reason that I was left in the dark about so many things and it just kind of ended and I was quite unsatisfied, but not in a in a hate kind of way that would put this anything under the under a three.

You know that one's every version of you. This is a time travel story. She goes back to college and she's gonna confess to her best friend that she was in love with him all of these years, but there's another boy who she's hated all of these years who maybe is a better match for her.

And then also Pen Pal, like Pen Pal surprised me. I gave this a four. And it's a book I've been avoiding for so long because I thought it was going to be just like really dark and gratuitous in its horror and it wasn't.

Sour CandyKealan Patrick Burke

And then Sour Candy I think I gave a 3.5, but like it's a little horror novela and I pretty much keep most of those ones that I read just cuz they are good to recommend, they're good to lend out, etc.

The RuinsScott Smith
Neutral

And then these two books that I read for my scary video too, The Ruins and The Twisted Ones, I gave both of these three stars.

Not a fan

I really just didn't think it was going to be such a bummer for so long. And then I really hated the sex scenes.
