Author: Melissa McTernan Rating: ⭐️ I don’t think this book was written by an AI, but I’m confident that if the author had put the general tropes and vibes she was going for into ChatGPT and asked for a story outline and character profiles, it would have spit out what was in this book.

Author: Sydney J. Shields Rating: ⭐️⭐️ I nearly DNFed this book, but about a week after putting it down, my curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to finish the last hundred pages.

This book follows Astrid, a designer and chronic people-pleaser who is terrified of failure and the possibility of diverging from the rigid mould her traditional, Stepford-like mother has set...

Author: Rachel Gillig Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ This duology has been going around the book spheres of social media, so I had high hopes.
