I cannot believe how quickly this year went by! Here are my last two reviews of the year! Thank you for sticking with me, and happy reading lovelies!
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
RATING: 5/5 ⭐
Quick phrase to describe this one: A bold fairytale fantasy.I absolutely loved this story. The lush fictional landscape was well written, and the details were great. The fairytale storyline was engaging, and the elements followed the famous tale. The plot was fairly fast-paced, which I appreciated, and had a variety of action, romance, and heartbreak.
The characters were great to read about. I like the changes in perspectives, and raw emotion from each individual. Harper's kindness was a contrast to Rhen's bold personality. I liked Harper's character because she was relatable, confident, and did not let her cerebral palsy define her. Rhen and Harper had interactions that were enjoyable to read about, despite being in a desperate situations throughout the novel.
Overall, I know this will be a popular book among YA fantasy fans, and I can't wait for the next in the series!

Airports, Exes, and Other Things I'm Over by Shani Petroff
RATING: 4/5 ⭐
This story follows high school senior Sari, as she deals with heartbreak over her cheating (ex)boyfriend. To make matters worse, she is then stuck with him for hours in the airport after a cancelled flight home from spring break. This quick read was fun and carefree. It was enjoyable, and the characters were easy to follow. Sari's personality was realistic and I liked the touches regarding her passion for music. The plot was simple, but also relatable for many high school readers. It was simple and cute, a typical sweet contemporary!
