I really loved this book. KiYoung and Aliah are super sweet. And I cooed over how cute they were. Honestly, this was one of the best K-pop romances I have read since Sugar Love.

I could not put this book down! I ended up staying way too late to try to finish it. I love Jo and Everett so much. I adore how much Everett has zero chill with her.

This book is the best example of well-executed enemies to lovers and accidental pregnancy book. I especially loved Maverick who one of the best character growth arcs I have seen lately.  Maverick wasn't perfect but he turned out to be a gem. Also the sex scenes were so damn spicy.

This was such a sweet love story. I loved Julia and Cami together. They had such burning chemistry from page 1 and I really wanted to punt Julia's ex. The perfect cozy romance to get you out of a reading rut!

I could not put this book down. It usually takes me a week to finish a book this length but I could not put it down. Jae and Harley were so sweet together. And the scenes were so freaking spicy. I am not Korean but I really felt the author really respected the culture and that is a nice change for once. 
Totally recommend for the ARMY stan in your life!

My God this book was EVERYTHING! Seriously if there was a book to ever give me imposter syndrome this book would be it! Funny, but so relatable especially Red and Chloe's character arcs. I absolutely plan on finishing the entire series!

This book was so hard for me because much like the main character Alice I am Black and asexual. The stuff that Alice went through is very similar to my everyday life. But the characters were so adorable and loveable. And everytime Alice and her love interest Takumi interacted it made me squee. This coming of age story is something I needed when I was 18.

This book was excellent from beginning to end. Its been a while since I have done old school style paranormal romance but it was worth it to step out of my comfort zone and read this book. The characters were fantastic, the world building was on point, and the plot was awesome. I highly recommend this book.
