24 hour reading vlog ⏰📚🤯 [reading so many NEW release books, with my friend Brittany]

I loved this book so much. I think I want to give this book like four and a half stars, which is like crazy to say because I know that this book isn't very well written. I don't know why I want to say that, but like I feel like the characters in this book, they're not super well-developed.

But like the 1950s chapters are so boring to me and they're so long. Like why are each one of those chapters like 15 to 20 pages? It's just like watching paint dry for me.

I was kind of nervous to read this one because I was not a big fan of the other book that I read from this author which was called Every Summer After.

And I got about 48 pages into this one and it is going very well so far. I definitely agree with like all of the people that said the first chapter of this book is really shocking because it doesn't really tell you very much in the premise of this book or at least it's just talking about how you're following this woman named Honor.

But because this is Julie Sodto, you know, she's the author of the book Forget Me Not, which is like one of my favorite romance books.

I think I read it like last October and I loved it. Like that one still stays on my mind for so long.

And then the romance in this book, I mean, the romance was really cute and it was definitely like my favorite aspect of the book, but I still felt like I couldn't get fully invested in them in their story and like as characters. I don't know why. I just didn't get that like feeling of like being obsessed with them in the way that I typically do sometimes when I read romance books.

And I really, really didn't like this. I think this book, God, it was just so repetitive. Like I can't even tell you.

And I don't really care about either of these characters because, you know, the story is mainly following these two sisters named Viven and Lucy. And apparently Lucy knew about her sister Vivien, but Viven did not know that she had a sister.

I really loved this one and it really surprised me just how much I loved it. I just really loved the way that these characters were written. I loved the vibes of like the small town like kind of energy.

And I think I gave that one like one or two stars.

And The Charm Offensive is like one of my favorite books of all time.

I think a lot of this book was kind of bogged down by a lot of like teen drama that didn't particularly interest me, which is why I don't usually read, you know, young adult thrillers. But I think this one was just okay as well. I'm probably going to give this around like two and a half stars.
