Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings

4.5

Every time a rom com is actually a com an angel gets her wings…. And another angel flies bc of this one

I absolutely adored these characters and this story. I got nervous bc halfway through the characters decide on a friends-with-benefits situation which I don't love, but the (very few!) scenes were really hot so I stopped complaining

3.5

I can typically bounce back into Chloe Gong sequels easily, but maybe it really had been too long between reading Foul Lady Fortune and this one bc I just didn't care that much. maybe it also has to do with the fact that every single YA finale had this bs amnesia trope and I was sick of it from the first time I read it, and then I had to keep reading it

first book finished of 2025 and it's a 5 star lfg.

I literally never even planned on reading this book but I had one last Audible book and I had heard so many good things about the audiobook. FINE everyone was right this book is literally fantastic! the audiobook is probably the best way to consume it! I don't even like sci-fi but I ate this shit up!

last book of the year and it's a dud....

I really thought that with going into this book with the right expectations I would like it. I didn't think it was going to be an actual apocalyptic book, I thought it would be slice of life, and yet here I am giving it two stars. 

I just didn't care about this so much that I preferred the flashback chapters to the apocalypse ones. luckily those were more plentiful

now I obviously didn't do this book any favors by setting it down for two months..... but this one just didn't hit imo. the pacing was super weird and it just felt like it was edging me the whole time with no release.

HELL YES. THIS IS WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY I WANT A ROMCOM. ROM=COM plus an excellent cozy mystery but FOCUS ON THE ROMCOM. SOME OF THESE BOOKS ARE LIARS

this was incredibly okay. Luke was annoyingly perfect and the novella somehow felt repetitive even though it was half the length of her regular books
