February 2025 Book Ratings and Reviews 🍋

- when she’s gone- just a little unrealistic

- wilderness of girls-loved the idea is this book, would recommend

- the berry pickers- a slow book and not usually the type i read but i liked it and would recommend

- onyx storm- definitely a filler book in the series, the first 2/3 was boring and the last 1/3 was really good

- the one you’re with- very predictable but it was a nice read
