This was so so so good!  Like read all day because I needed to finish good. I think watching challengers prepared me for how tennis heavy this is. I love a redemption story and Carrie Soto is everything to me!! I love TJR books and I’m kicking myself for waiting so long to read this!!

Sapphic love island and it was fun and flirty. It was very close to the actual show which had me feeling mixed because it didn’t feel as original as it could have been. I loved the sapphic twist and the lead characters were so captivating

Okay this is definitely more mystery than thriller which is fine!! Slower start but once I was in it, I was invested! LOVED the mixed media aspect and how accurate the look into social media was. I did part of this on audio and with a full cast I definitely recommend that route! I think this is a good one for fans of a good girls guide to murder!

As someone that grew up in the age of the pop star and the paparazzi, I think I wanted a little more from this one! It’s a solid story but it felt very surface. That being said, I did like it and if you like this age of pop culture you probably will also!

I definitely thought this is going to be different than what it was, but I still liked it. Ware always creates a locked room situation so well and this one being set on an island was perfect for the summer. This is just me being a love island girly but I wish we got a littttle more of that in the beginning. The suspense was great, the girl power even better! The second half definitely won me over!!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
This book is going over my head and I think I’m just not in the right mental head space for it 🙃

This is your definition sex drugs and rock n roll read. It grew on me as I read it and I thought the ending was satisfying. If you liked Daisy Jones and that vibe I think
