Okay.
So I've had this on the go for months now, the first few I read like they were nothing and then I started to lose interest. The story wasn't so much about Sloane and Zeth anymore and I just couldn't get into them. I left the box set alone and read other books between stories, sometimes between chapters, because it just wasn't doing anything for me anymore.
And finally I've just given up on any will to read the last part of this six-part series. I can't say I'm at all interested in them beating Charlie.
The fifth book wasn't a total let down for me, what with Zeth actually (finally) expressing a few feelings in words to Sloane but I think if it hadn't been for that, I wouldn't have finished that one either.

I really, really like this series!
My stepmom wants me to branch out of middle school books hence The Selection, The Twisted Tales, and the Disney Villians series. Browsing Amazon for quarantine reads I remembered the Gallagher Girls a series recommended to me in high school. I owned books three and five (Long story) so I hunted down the rest. I'll be honest, it isn't often that I dislike a book and this trend continues! I'm head-over-heels in love with Gallagher girls!
Told from Cammie's POV her little quips and 'fast-facts about the world drew me in and made me devour the first book and this one. It was amazing, it was intense, a nice roller-coaster ride and I can't wait to see where the next one goes (Already on chapter five)
Yes, I recommend the book!

Um...i don't know how to put my feelings into words about this one. The beginning bit was hard to read. I think this is the first book where domestic abuse has been described and happened in detail for me and I didn't enjoy reading it. Mia had such a shitty life at the start.
I liked Jordan a lot. He's the kind of guy I like my girls to get with in romances. Looks like a bad arse but is really a great guy once you get to know him.
Another thing I liked was that it wasn't set in a school/college environment like most other new adult books but at the same time, I kinda missed that element of football games, meeting after classes, sorority/fraternity parties... Yeah, I'm hard to please where NA books are concerned simply because I've read so many.
P.S. I love Dozer!

I donāt want to spoil the book for anyone that chooses to read it. But, what I will say is...
āNarratedā by the young Anna, you get to read the absolutely terrifying journey of Anna and her baby brother through the wilderness. This book sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Itās a haunting tale, littered with moments that will have you holding your breath, and then breaking the heaviness with a little laugh out loud moment.
This book has stuck with me since finishing it Monday, and I still want to climb between the pages and hug the children! This book is really well written, and captivating from start to finish. I really struggled to put it down.
