⚠️ Late June Review | Spoilers Ahead ⚠️

⭐ 3/5

The Trials of Bravery, Benevolence, and Brutality were my favorite part of the book. I also loved Queen Zailah she was such a fascinating character, and I honestly wanted to know more about her story.

I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I finished Fearless with my heart aching for Kitt more than anyone else. 💔 He felt like one of the most tragic characters in the series lonely, emotionally fragile, and carrying responsibilities no one should have to bear alone.

While everyone talks about Kai and Paedyn, I couldn't stop thinking about Kitt. I know they loved each other, but I couldn't help feeling their choices at the end were selfish. Kitt deserved so much more, and his fate completely broke my heart.

Maybe that's why I closed the book feeling more sad than satisfied.

✨ Perfect by Cecelia Ahern (Flawed book #2)

⭐ 5/5

I absolutely loved this book 😭💛

The story continues beautifully from Flawed, and honestly I can’t choose which one is better, they feel completely connected.

I loved the new supporting characters....

Carrick 🥹✨ his personality, loyalty, and strength just made me love him so much.

Celestine is one of the bravest female characters I’ve read. Watching her growth and strength in this book was amazing 💛

Emotional, powerful, and completely worth it.

✨ This Charming Man by Marian Keyes

This book was pure chaos… but I couldn’t stop reading 😭

It focuses on domestic violence and toxic relationships hidden behind charm. I hated Paddy so much 😤 the way he treated women was honestly disturbing.

“I wanted to kill Paddy” 😭 he truly deserved consequences for everything he did.

I felt so much sorrow for Marnie 💔 Loved Grace (and thank God her and Damien didn’t split 😭✨) And I really wish Sheridan’s character was explored more.......

The most frustrating part was how easily women could be influenced by charm and looks… but that’s also what made the story feel real.

⚠️ Not recommended for readers under 18

Messy, emotional, and addictive.

⭐ 3.5/5

🌿 As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh

This book completely broke me 💔

Set during the Syrian revolution, it felt so real and painfully emotional🥺 so similar to what’s happening in Palestine 🇵🇸. I didn’t even realize how much Syria has suffered like this… it was devastating to read.

Salama, the pharmacist, was incredibly brave. Her hallucinations of Layla shattered me especially when I realized she was already gone 😭

And the romance between Kenan and Salama? 🥹💛 So subtle, halal, and beautifully written, it added such a soft layer of hope in the middle of all that pain.

The love for their homeland, the pain, and the hope that one day it will be free… everything was written so beautifully.

⭐4/5

A young adult dystopian that honestly gave me strong Divergent-like vibes 🙈but with its own unique concept. The idea of a society judging people for being “flawed” is so intense and thought-provoking.

The story is gripping, thrilling, and completely gut-knotting. I literally rushed through it because I needed to know what happens next 😭

Celestine (the main character) is amazingly written strong, emotional, and very real. Watching her grow and question the system was one of the best parts of the book. And her grandpa? 🥹💛 Such a soft, supportive character🥰I loved him so much.

The side characters and relationships also added depth, making it more than just a dystopian story..it felt personal.

⭐ 4.5/5

Definitely continuing with the second book, Perfect, because I NEED to know what happens next 👀

🎉 I just completed my first book of the month (January 2026)

"If You Could See the Sun"! 🌞

A heartwarming teen romance that hits all the right notes! Alice Sun and Henry Li’s playful rivalry slowly turns into a sweet connection, and I absolutely loved Chanel&Alice’s supportive bestie adds so much warmth to the story.

Light, fast-paced, and utterly cute, it’s the perfect cozy read that leaves you smiling without any unnecessary spice or anyone who enjoys school rivalries, friends-to-more vibes, and feel-good romance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐4/5

POWERLESS by Lauren Roberts 💜

Paedyn Grey has no magic.

In a world where power decides everything, that’s dangerous.

She’s clever. She’s fearless🗡.

But powerless.

Then comes Kai.

A prince🤴. Complicated.

And suddenly, surviving isn’t enough.

She has to fight, pretend, outsmart.

Trials. Secrets. Danger💀.

And a slow-burn romance that makes your heart skip. 💔✨

Powerless isn’t just fantasy.

It’s about identity.

🌿Resilience.

Finding strength when the world tells you there’s none. 🌌💜
