Tough because I REALLY loved some of these and I’d love for them to be fully fleshed out books, but most were just meh for me (with one that I didn’t care for at all). Found some new authors to look into which is always great

Unfortunately, this was a no from me. Nishino is a whiny, entitled man who did not deserve to have those 10 women thinking about him. Also, wtf was that little insight into his relationship with his sister? Why?

Cheesy, cliche, and a little too insta-lovey for me to LOVE it, but the fall Hallmark vibes were there and it was cute

Love a cute little hero’s journey with a hero you can root for

Not for me. I did not care an ounce what was happening to these people, which had to have been on the writing because it was terrible, historical stuff. Somehow I was bored and apathetic reading about rape and separating families and all kinds of horrible aspects of colonialism.

I liked a lot of these stories but I don’t think many, if any, will stick with me long

I liked this, but it didn’t hit near as much as the first one did and unfortunately I can’t pinpoint why

I love this witchy little romance series so much. I’m sad that we’re done with the sisters’ stories but I so hope there’s more to come from this town!

I liked a lot about the premise of this but the execution fell flat in a lot of places too. I haven’t read the previous books in this series so I don’t know if that played a part. I found myself enjoying the rest of the roommates more than I did the main couple, and I actually really didn’t enjoy being in their minds lol.
