Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter
3.0
an influencer wrote a book about an influencer who grew up with an influencer mom… and while a fascinating concept, it wasn’t quite the gripping thriller i hoped it would be. it is an intriguing commentary on the world of social media and how growing up in a highly-monetized, always-on spotlight can affect a young girl, and it definitely felt realistic and authentic, but it never quite had me as hooked as the premise prepped me to think i’d be. it took twists and turns i didn’t expect, for sure, but i wanted to be more invested, i guess? ⭐️⭐️⭐️ — i liked it, i just wanted more!!
Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood
to me, ali hazelwood’s books have been hit or miss, but this one was a hit!
as soon as the author’s note was like “this is not a romcom, it’s an erotic romance, and they deal with deep shit” — i was like YES PLZ
it DELIVERED on the spice and also on the deeper themes and i appreciated both (wow, look at my range!!!). it’s less ~quirky~ and fluffy and more dealing with your past while also having hot hot chemistry with someone who should be off limits because of your work and their work BUT HERE WE ARE.
