This was cute with some great characters. Just a nice read, and i love how it so light but covers heavier topics. I didn't understand the program they were in though. It left me a bit confused.

This mystery was pretty good! I do have some issues with some of the character's decision. But honestly, I'm really interested in the siblings. I wanna know what they're gonna get up to. I want them to work together more in the next books.

I'm gonna need people to learn the definition of grumpy x sunshine because this isn't it. Also the mystery is so weak and boring. But the book is cute and cozy. Thank goodness for that.

Oh no. I liked this one. I can see how people labeled this as miscommunication, but it's not on the same level as most miscommunication tropes. I hated these old stereotypes that were listed. And I hated that Ali Hazelwood writes the same plot, different characters each time. But this one, I liked

What a unique story. Definitely enjoyed it. Some of the storytelling wasn't my vibe, but still great overall. Just going back and forth in time and characters was too much for me personally.

This would've been so much better if the world building was just a little bit better. It's a really interesting plot, but the world building was just thrown at you instead of shown, like a history book. It made the plot take a bit to long to pick up.

Loved this. Loved the characters and loved the mystery. I think it would've been a bit better if the girl at the beginning became his assistant. But loving the Columbo vibes.

Very spooky and definitely stirred some anger in me because so many things went unanswered. I wish we had more answers but I kinda understand it leaving us hanging.

This was nonstop action, to the very end. It did get a little too much, but still, everything was so moving and i really enjoyed it.

For a Bridgerton book, this was actually not too bad. I really liked the diamond hunting plot. The romance was fine. But I enjoyed it in the end.
