May Wrap Up

📚 Last Kiss of Summer by Jessica M. Felleman

📚 The Deal by Elle Kennedy

#bookrecs #bookwrapup

6/15 Edited to

In May, I found myself completely immersed in two captivating contemporary romance novels that stood out for their emotional depth and engaging narratives. "Last Kiss of Summer" by Jessica M. Felleman beautifully captures that bittersweet feeling of a fleeting summer romance, perfectly echoing the phrase from the OCR content, "Nothing breaks like a heart last kiss of summer." This book grabbed me with its tender portrayal of youthful love and the inevitable challenges that come with it. On the other hand, "The Deal" by Elle Kennedy, the first book in the Off-Campus series, offered a compelling mix of humor, chemistry, and heartfelt moments. I appreciated how the story balances romantic tension with realistic character development, making it not just a typical romance but a journey of growth for both protagonists. The phrase “THE DEAL OFF.CAMPUS 1” from the OCR reminds me how this series has become a go-to for fans seeking a well-crafted college romance with relatable characters. If you're looking for books that blend romance with emotional authenticity, I highly recommend these two. They complement each other well; one captures the ephemeral magic of summer love while the other dives into the complexities of relationships formed in a university setting. Reflecting on these reads, I noticed how impactful well-written romance novels can be, providing not just escapism but also insight into connections and heartbreaks we all experience.

A stack of books on a wooden floor with text overlay "MAY WRAP UP What I read this month" and five stars, indicating a book wrap-up post.

A hand holding the book "We Were Warned" by Chelsea Ichaso, featuring a dark cover with red text and a flashlight, rated 4/5 stars.

A hand holding the book "One of Us Is Lying" by Karen M. McManus, featuring a cover with four masked faces, rated 4/5 stars.

I just started reading again, and eight books is a huge accomplishment to me. I found the joy of reading again and now I’m obsessed and get excited for new books. As of right now, my favorite genre is thrillers. Eventually, I might branch out to other genres, but for now thrillers are my love!! #

Of course I had to do a reread for the release of Fearless this month. I did do a quick skim reread of A Fate Inked In Blood before diving into A Curse Carved in Bone as well. 5 stars for both of them!! Wow! A book I saw circling Instagram was Mysterious Fathoms Below and that book was SO Good!
