Good Rich People by Eliza Jane Brazier

medium-paced

3.0

Decent enough but the very ending was meh. The characters are not likeable but they keep the story going pretty well. Not my fave but not terrible.

The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim

medium-paced

4.5

WOW okay I liked this a lot. Sort of gave me the ick as someone who has dealt with men who fetishize Asian women. Loved Alexis and Jihyun, hated george and geoffrey, their mom irked me on a lot of levels, and Jiwon made a great unhinged character although at many points she was also unlikeable (but her being unlikeable didn't make me hate her. I was frustrated with how she treated her former friends, but I didn't like her feminine rage).
Will read more from this author whenever they release another book.
Please read content/trigger warnings because there is some gross stuff in this

The Blonde Dies First by Joelle Wellington

slow-paced

2.75

This wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I liked the characters and the concept enough but it was pretty slow for me and didn't end up caring that much by the end. Sort of forced myself to finish it. I liked the "third act twist" and the lil post credit scene tho.

Queen B by Juno Dawson

I really really enjoyed this! I haven't read the other books in this series, I actually didn't know this was a prequel to a series, but I def plan on reading the series now especially if the other books are as good as this was for me.

Super cute, fun, light read! Loved all the characters. 

Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: A Comedian's Guide to Life on the Spectrum by Michael McCreary

funny fast-paced

5.0

Def enjoyed listening to this audiobook. As someone pretty sure they are autistic, his stories were not only entertaining but incredibly relatable. 

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

medium-paced

4.0

A pretty slow start that really picked up and was quite good by the end. I'm a sucker for a "good for her" story. The characters were overall interesting and although not all of them were likeable, their personalities and stories def kept my interest. I'm also always a sucker for some corvids so having crows or ravens or magpies in a story makes me happy.
Not my favorite from the author, but I did like it.

Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean

A nice, light read/listen. I def could relate with the main character when she went to Japan and felt out of place.
