Took my Youngest to the library for his summer reading challenge, and was not supposed to get any for myself. I resisted all the displays on the way in. But then there was a scavenger hunt for hidden posters that took us out of the children's section and all around the library, and somehow at the end of it I had picked up these three. 🤷‍♀️ To go with the 14 books I already have on loan. 🤪 #SendHelp

Kind of a funny and nerdy Lovestory, but not 100% my taste. I'm not into those romancy stories so it was ok but not totally my style.

JenWindramReads I'm not too into romance either 😊 7y
N9erz @JenWindramReads it is always so peachy and cute 😅🙈 that's just not me 7y
MrBook Nice pic! 7y

I have enjoyed a number of Jenny Colgan's books, but this one really didn't work for me. The central relationship didn't seem to be based on anything but puppy eyes and a smell of the sea, which isn't really a reason to endanger the earth and your friends, I don't think.

🤓🤓🤓 This book is not my usual fare. It was pretty entertaining although there were too many pop culture references in it for my taste. It was light and fun; a quick read. It wasn't amazing but I'm glad I read it. This is my #LitsyAtoZ selection for C. (I'm doing all female authors for this challenge.) @BookishMarginalia

"Humans are obsessed with gender.. "
Sadly, they are. I am enjoying this book and like this passage but I was annoyed she kept pushing this issue by asking "which would you say you were at the moment?" Who the hell cares?!? You feel attraction. The end.
