2025 Reads – Part 2📚 | Reviews and Ratings

Part 2 of the books that emotionally abused me this year 📚😮‍💨

From magical worlds and devastating tension to stories that had me rooting, raging, and refusing to put the book down. Some were cute, some were stressful, some changed my brain chemistry just a little.

Have you read any of these, or am I about to put you on? 👀✨
