all the books I read in July 🏕 bucket list books & cottage reads

i didn't really fully love either of them but i didn't hate anyone i didn't really hate anything about this book in terms of like my romance books i would have preferred less of that family drama and more just focus on them because they were my favorite part of the book but overall i gave it three stars and it was just okay

in the end i just i'm really happy that i read it because of course this is just so it's done a lot it's done a lot it's super famous and i just had a really good time but not in the way that i was expecting to

i really loved all the side characters in this book i think they were wonderful i thought the writing was delicious it was gorgeous the way that jessica townsend just like describes certain things

this is definitely a book that i enjoyed like having read and thinking about now because it's just it keeps being devastating in like new ways and it's like this huge commentary on colonized and colonizer

i definitely recommend i think this was a great place to start because i've never read from her before so yeah i gave this four stars and i really liked it

yes i know i didn't give it five stars just because like i know it doesn't compare to other things he's written but in my heart it's it's really a five star

i did give it a grudging two stars i just i really did not like this book in any way shape or form honestly

overall i had to give it three stars just because just because it didn't make me feel very much and as well there's this like weird shift at the end where we suddenly switch narrators when we're about 80 into the book and then it became a little bit confusing for me after that

in the end i gave it three stars but i don't think this is a series that i will continue because it was super predictable and i just don't think i got a lot out of it
