Attack of the Clones by R.A. Salvatore
3.0
I give it three stars for being an extremely faithful novelization of the movie, and also for Anakin’s praise kink and a moment when he battles Dooku and controls his movements and it surprises Dooku. That’s neat. It’s my least favorite star wars novel for boring writing and it does little to explore the characters motivations or feelings. Now a regular novelization and star wars reader I can confidently say that Anakin was not nearly dramatic enough.
***edit: Also at some point they acknowledged how handsome bail organa was and i felt it was both necessary and took away from the moment.

The Raven King by Nora Sakavic
2.0
I’m still not convinced by the characters, or even remotely interested in their lives. They feel like fabrications instead of real people, and the story is the same. It wasn’t until the very last chapter that I finally started to feel something for Neil. I’ll read the last book, but I don’t expect to enjoy it that much more.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

an absolute JOY to read i’ve never felt so close to a character in all her melodrama and fake-dating exploits. she’s young and old souled at the same time. also i like boys. idk what to tell you.
