I decided to do the #allthebooksof2018 challenge this year! Today’s prompt was the first book you read this year! I gave it 3.5 stars and you can find my review below! 🎄🎄🎄 [3.5 stars] The romance in this one was actually super cute! i loved that part of the book the most, which is weird for me since i've said a million times i'm over het romances. Characters: i liked Maddie well enough, she was just really naive, but hey, so was I at that age. Though i do like to think that i would've been smart enough to at least talk to an adultier adult before writing some rando a check for $500k. i loved the love interest whose name has left my brain. he was super sweet. her friends were pretty good too. i like that Kasie didn't make the new friend a catty user like so many authors would have done. i'm so over the mean girl trope! Plot: i thought it was a decent background for this romance, and for Maddie to grow a lot. diversity? the love interest is Asian. that's the only POC i noticed, but i also listened to the book and sometimes i miss details like race. sorry! 🎄🎄🎄 #ireadya #bookstagram #books #bookworm #booknerd #bookphotography #read #yalit #bookgeek #igreads #instabooks #instabook #book #bibliophile #booklove #booklion #bookaholic #bookaddiction #bookaddict #bookhoarder #goodreads #bookstagrammer #bookgram #bookworm_insta #bamdecember18 #bookqueensdec18 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgylbxncX4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jmlmcu1ytn0b
