Title: 99 Percent Mine I thought 99 PERCENT MINE was a fun spicy romance. I really liked both Darcy and Tom. I disliked Darcy’s twin and I wish her heart murmur would’ve taken the story down a different path. I also felt like the story was lacking in some way, but I still enjoyed reading this despite not quite getting what I wanted.
Title: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow I’m honestly not sure how I feel about TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW. There are aspects I loved and others I didn’t. Even though the story was slow, I felt compelled to keep reading. I loved how well the story shows the evolution of relationships—how they can grow stronger, become weaker, or break under life’s pressures. I also loved that this story showed that life is a matter of perspective and communication. I loved the look at grief and how individual it is. I’m not sure I cared for Sam or Sadie very much. They often seemed selfish, especially when it came to their games, success, and each other.
Title: The First Time I Saw Him I was happy with how THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME had ended and I wasn’t going to read THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM because I didn’t feel like I had to. Then, I started watching season 2 of the TV show and I wanted to read the book before I watched the last few episodes. I wanted to know how it ended the “legit” way, lol. To my surprise, season 2 and this book were written in tandem and both took different directions. I’m a bit disappointed because I’ve been enjoying the TV show a lot.
I thought the story was good, but not as good as the first story. I did enjoy reading from Bailey’s, Nicholas’, and Owen’s POV as well as Hannah’s this time around. I also liked learning more about Frank, his family, and the organization. While I’m happy about the outcome, the story wasn’t as suspenseful and felt a more rushed than the first book did. I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy season 2 better than the book this time around.

Title: Stuck with You STUCK WITH YOU is my least favorite of the STEMinist Novellas. Normally, instalove doesn’t bother me, but I couldn’t get over part of the premise. I liked the idea of them being stuck in the elevator together so they could air out their grievances, but Erik’s thoughts on why Sadie was mad at him was just too much for me.
I did like Sadie and Erik’s chemistry, and I think I might’ve liked this one better had it been a fully fleshed out novel.
