April reads recap!! 📚

This month was packed with drama, romance, and all the feels:

📖 Powerless Trilogy — angsty, intense, and totally addictive

📖 In Good Company by Kat Singleton — swoony banter + slow burn perfection

📖 The Striker by Ana Huang — tension, spice, and strong characters

What a ride—May has big shoes to fill!
