One of the best parts of the summer is being able to read, swim, read, and tan. Did I mention reading outside in the summer is my favorite thing ever? My reading plans in July primarily focused on Book Expo ARCs and some necessary (summer) contemporaries. I actually read my three most anticipated books of the year this month, and I found myself craving more adult books and romance in July than usual! I definitely blame the latter for my love for the Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy this year—I recently bought the first book in the spin-off series, The Chase.
The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord (reread) | 4.5/5 Stars
I enjoyed The Start of Me and You even more the second time around! And like the first time around, I spent a lot of time reading it and floating around my pool.
The Map From Here to There by Emery Lord (ARC) | 4/5
This was a solid sequel to The Start of Me and You, but I wasn’t as in love as I hoped I’d be.
Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren | 3.5/5
I liked how Love and Other Words flipped between the past and the present, but I feel like the book didn’t really bring anything I hadn’t seen before.
Unpregnant by Jenni Hendricks and Ted Caplan (ARC) | 5/5
If you thought that there could never be a thing called a ‘funny YA abortion story,’ think again and read Unpregnant when it comes out this fall.
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (ARC) | 5/5
I just knew Ninth House was going to blow me away, and it probably sounds ridiculous saying it because what else would you expect, but I found my favorite book of the year.
My Rating: 4/5 Stars
