i put reading this on hold but the more i think about this book, the more i realize i just don't want to read it because it's boring and the characters are unlikeable and i don't care about any of them, and i'm not going to waste time here. sad because i was really looking forward to magical dark acad . welp

The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas
5.0
the writing in the book is chef's kiss!! the descriptions left me with a chill running down my spine, exactly what i expect from a gothic horror. i actually think it exceeded the expectations from when i picked the book up. AMAZING!!

honestly, i felt kinda bad for juana. maria catalina was a bitch and she deserved to get buried in the wall, and rodolfo was a rapist hoe who deserved to get his throat slit! she did the right thing getting rid of them both! i'd stand behind her at all times if it weren't for the way she wanted to pin it all on beatriz and then set her on fire LIKEEE she's so insane i love it

The Guest List by Lucy Foley
2.0
i think i read it this quickly because i just wanted it to be over. there was no thrill, no mystery, just sickening amount of people thinking about sex and being jealous and insufferable and annoying. considering the high ratings and the hype surrounding this book, i was beyond excited to read this—i probably should've known that by that alone that i'd get disappointed lol the flashbacks to the actual ngiht of the murder built no suspense. there was no good foreshadowing. it only felt dragged out and boring.
i predicted at the beginning but then i thought Nah that's ridiculous and impossible. but then it ended up being real.
the only thing i liked about this book is the setting, truly. MEH

The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth
3.0
girl the worst thing abt this book wasn't even the fact that i struggled to connect with the mc but the breaking of the fourth wall to talk to the reader. it annoyed me so much!!! it also felt like there wasn't much connections between saoirse & ruby, even though that was kind of the whole point of the book, i guess.
oliver was my favorite part of the story, and i also found myself liking beth a lot. it's a strong point of this book, that it has even side characters developed into actual people that seem tangible and aren't there just for the sake of filling out the space. (except for izzy and hannah, maybe.)
i jumped into this book expecting fluffy romance with a sprinkle of rom-com-y angst, but it wasn't what i got. not with saoirse's neverending internal conflict and self-sabotaging and depressing background. it all made her into a good character, but i guess there was so much of it that it felt like i missed a good part of the whole falling in love montage.
i thought i'd enjoy it a lot, but it ended up being an okay read.
