This book took me almost a whole year to work through. It's all really good and important information and I wanted to make sure I could take it all in and understand it so I could teach it to my kids.

I put off the last few sections of the book for ages because it was overwhelming to think about processing more information. Turns out most of what I had left were about specific disorders that don't apply to my kids so I was able to skip a lot of it.

Overall, this book has super helpful information and at least one of my kids has been making great efforts to use the strategies in it to help with anxiety. I will definitely be revisiting it in the future.

This series is so over the top and hilarious and I love it.

I don't think I'm *cultured* enough to understand all of the artsy stuff in this book. 😅

Lord's first adult book (this includes one open door scene), but it still read like a YA book in my opinion. I kept forgetting these characters were adults because they so often acted like immature teens.

I did like the small beach town setting, the smidgens of fake dating, and the general idea of the plot.

I honestly just think there was too much filler. I often got bored and did a lot of skimming.

I don't know if Lord is moving exclusively to adult, but I hope she revisits YA in the future because I enjoyed those once much more.

*I received a digital ARC of The Break-Up Pact via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*

It took me a minute to get everything figured out character/world wise and I do wish the story had gone a bit deeper, but it was a really fun and unique story with familiar bits woven throughout. 

What a delight. A mystery with a heaping side of romance is just my jam.

(this is a kisses only romance - no open door scenes)

I liked this one better than the first! I love Mosscap.

I read this very quickly because I feel like that's how thrillers must be read. 😂 But I enjoyed none of it. The writing was so basic and cliché and there were some HUGE editing errors that drove me absolutely crazy. Like, "Did you tell me about her?" When it should have been, "Did you tell *her* about *me." And at least one there was an entire word missing from a sentence. And if I have to read the phrase "her blue, blue eyes" one more time I might punch something. It definitely needed at least one more round of edits.
