The Sire★☆☆☆☆ 1.5/5 rounded down
✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) ༉ Note : This review will remain spoiler-free as it has not been published at the current date of my review.
The Sirens is my first time reading works from Emilia Hart, and may potentially be the last time I do as well. I had requested this ARC because the cover is absolutely gorgeous, the premise was intriguing, and I was very interested in knowing the story that would evolve. I unfortunately did not get any sort of satisfaction from this book like I had hoped and found myself really, really struggling to read this that I contemplated DNF'ing.
: ̗̀➛ My Review Rants
The writing for this book was strong. It was beautiful and I found myself pulled in by the writing, despite not really clicking with anything that I was actually reading about. I felt no attachment to the characters or the experiences their storylines followed. And the strong writing made the lack of an actual plot or development stand out all the more. I found myself constantly questioning or simply skimming through most things Lucy did or said.
The start of the book had an interesting prose, but the more I looked at it, the more questions I had about the holes surrounding it. We start The Sirens with Lucy waking up to find her hands around the neck of a man she had slept with and was forming an intimate relationship before he leaked her nude photos to his group chat of friends, and essentially the entire school. Sounds interesting until you look into it a bit more (because, like I always do, I overanalyze things more than I should). How did she get across campus to his dorm? How did she unlock his dormitory door and slip in unnoticed? How did neither he nor his roommates hear her get in and inside his room? How did no one on campus see this woman sleepwalking and think to stop her?
Putting that aside - Lucy is mortified by the fact that she woke up with her hands around his neck and she flees. Where to, you ask? Well of course, to her estranged sister's home thousands of miles away from her, a place she had never visited and only knew existed because her sister sent her a postcard with the address years prior. Only, she gets there, and no alarm bells go ringing in that head of hers when the front door is unlocked, her sister nowhere to be found, and she is still essentially on the run from a near murder attempt on her ex-fling.
This entire setup feels forced and has very little explanation because much like everything else in this book, they never circle back on this or elaborate on the how's, why's, or what-the-hell's. And instead of taking the opportunity to delve into all of these questions before, we are instead sat through a book of Lucy and this contrived mystery of eight missing men, her sister's disappearance, and the exile of Mary in the 1800s while waiting for the conclusions to be told point-blank to Lucy.
There was this build up and expectation that the characters had so much personality and life to them that they've lived and experienced, but I felt nothing for any of them. It felt so one-dimensional, and I couldn't for the life of me bring myself to care about anything.
I won't even touch on the student-teacher conversation in this book because that would make my review longer than I want to make it. Just know, it is awful.
: ̗̀➛ Final Thoughts
I give this book a solid 1.5/5 stars, and the only reason why it is not a complete 1 star is because I applaud the effort. There was clearly thought and effort to this book, it just didn't click for me or make me feel anything it wanted me to. I personally would not recommend this to anyone, but my taste is subjective and oftentimes all over the place, so don't hesitate to check it out on its official publication if you think it may be something more aligned with your interests.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC in exchange for an honest review of this novel....more

⋆ Tropes / Expec★★★★☆ 3.75/5
✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) ༉ Note : This review will remain spoiler-free as it has not been published at the current date of my review.
⋆ Tropes / Expectations : ▹Fake dating ▹Topics of anxiety, alcoholism, panic attacks, cheating ▹Third-act break up ▹Emotionally Stunted FMC ▹Cultural topics
You Started It is a young adult novel following seventeen-year-old Jamie Taher-Foster as she is unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend of three years, Ben. It reads very much like you would expect a young adult novel to read, and includes a lot of nods and mentions to modern day slang, trends, and artists. On top of this, it also covers a plethora of real-world issues such as anxiety disorders, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), alcoholism, co-dependency, cheating, and the current situation between Palestine and Israel.
: ̗̀➛ My Review Rants
This was a very cute read. I was initially put off by the book shortly after it started with the usage of cringe slang you would hear your average teenager using, but as I pushed further into the book, I found myself unable to put it down.
I relate a lot to the main character, Jamie, when it comes to having debilitating anxiety, a fear of losing control of your own life, and panic attacks. I actually related to her so much that I felt uncomfortable at times, but it's precisely because of that, that I really loved our FMC.
I loved the approach to being biracial, being unaccustomed to or uneducated on your cultural roots or traditions, and the struggles many go through by never truly feeling like you belong. Axel Dahini, our MMC, was the greenest of flags imaginable when it came to this topic. Refusing to let Jamie downplay her race or significance due to being biracial was such a nice touch that as a biracial person myself who feels detached from my culture and religion due to family keeping me from it, I felt seen and accepted.
The pacing in this book was great, there was never a dull moment or time where you question when things will pick up or get better. It was doing that the entire time, just getting better and better. I will say I did have moments where I was frustrated with characters like Jamie's mother, Ben, and Jamie herself, but it was never enough to make me uninterested in the book or want to put it down. I was hooked from start to finish despite wanting to fight some of these characters. I also truly loved the hints put throughout the book of thinking what Jamie was doing was a normal teenage thing, only to realize when you look back just how damaging her behaviour was and being able to reflect on why and how and do better from it. It was well done when brought to the reader's attention by the end of the book.
I have and always will be very anti-third act break ups. I think they are redundant and often times backtrack on all of the progress and development of the main characters, and unfortunately that's exactly how I felt about the one in this book. I felt that it dragged on for far longer than necessary and the miscommunication/unwillingness to communicate between the main cast was really annoying and I found myself sighing in annoyance often. I do think the resolution to the third act break up was a bit lackluster as well, but I overall did have a great time, and I really loved Axel.
I would also like to give appreciation to the author for speaking out on the stereotypes placed against Arab men, their culture, as well as for speaking up for Palestine. It is refreshing to see an author speak up for her beliefs and make it so enjoyable in a book that caters to younger adults. This is a great book for learning more about viewing others through an objective lens, not through judgmental or divisive ones. I also really appreciated the anxiety and panic attack representation in this novel. As someone who struggles with both to a debilitating level, I really appreciated how well they were handled in this novel. An author educating themselves and showing that through their writing and not glorification of these topics is few and far between, and Jackie Khalilieh did a wonderful job tackling it.
: ̗̀➛ Final Thoughts
A solid 3.75/5 for this novel. I enjoyed it for what it was, and would've loved for a bit more time with Axel and Jamie together as a couple or expanding on their relationship. I often felt that there wasn't enough of just them in this book, especially in the later half around the 70% mark and beyond. The tension and conflict interfered with giving their relationship more of a platform. But for what it offered, I enjoyed it!
Thank you Netgalley and Jackie Khalilieh for this ARC! I look forward to future works from this author. For anyone who is interested, You Started It will make its official publication on May 20, 2025, so please keep an eye on it and check it out when it releases!...more

Worth Fighting For is a Mulan retelling set in a modern-day scenario, where Mulan is a finance bro looking to help her father buy out a whiskey company owned by none other than Shang, our burly, incredibly handsome, and witty male lead. And of course, we follow Mulan in this book as she takes on her father's identity.
: ̗̀➛ Main Characters
Hua Mulan is our female lead, a twenty-seven-year-old finance bro who has spent her entire life dedicating herself to being the best son possible for her parents after a childhood trauma rooted itself in her ability to love or accept herself. She wears too many masks, pretending to be different people in order the get the best results possible. Due to this, she has forgotten who she truly is.
Shang is our male lead, and the CEO of Wutai Gold, a family-ran whiskey company. He is witty, great at banter, aloof in the beginning, and incredibly handsome. He was raised in a traditional Chinese household, one strong on their beliefs, and are very misogynistic. Shang has set out to redefine his roots by supporting women and taking up household tasks otherwise seen as emasculating.
Mushu is Mulan's cousin, and an absolute joy of this book. She is hilarious, confident, and speaks far too much. She works at the same firm as Mulan, although finance has never been her passion. She is loyal, fierce, and so incredibly loveable.
: ̗̀➛ My Review Rants
I actually really enjoyed this book. The first ~10% of the book I was a bit questionable about it, it's very heavy on the Gen-Z way of talking and read similarly. However, once the plot started developing, I became addicted to reading it. It flowed so well and there were very few moments where I felt bored or like there was nothing happening.
The entire ranch portion of this book is hands-down my favorite. I had such a blast reading through Mulan's experience there and I wish that it had never ended. I could've stayed on that ranch forever and never looked back again, and I feel by the end of it, Mulan felt similarly. I will say, almost every single cheesy romance trope you can think of; yes, it was in this book. Usually, that would leave me put-off and not as invested, but I just ate all of those tropes up in this one and did not mind it. It didn't take away the enjoyability, although it did definitely pull me out of the immersion at times.
I really loved the self-discovery in this book as well. As a half-Chinese woman, I've experienced all too well how it can feel to give up so much of yourself for others and never really look back on who you were meant to be. To see Mulan take that step, thanks to Mushu, to finally rediscover who she is, what she likes, and have the ability to go for it was heartwarming. A very sweet journey of learning who you truly are and finding peace with that while saying goodbye to the you who was never truly you.
My only gripe with this book would be the ending, last roughly ~20% of the book. This is the one time where I feel a book would've benefitted from being longer than it was because the finale of it felt so rushed, and the conclusion so anticlimactic that I finished this book thinking, "that's it? There's no more?". While the relationship between Mulan and Shang developed throughout this book, it was built on an insta-attraction/love, and from there I noticed there wasn't much development between them by the end. There was a lot of time clipping, summarization of their times together, and small, cute things they'd done together in passing, but no true development or time spent forming their relationship and by the time the ending conflict was resolved, I felt like I had missed so much.
: ̗̀➛ Final Thoughts
A solid 3/5 stars feels comfortable for me with this book. I enjoyed it for what it offered, and while I did have some minor issues with it, as a whole I still had a good time with it. While I wish there was a bit more to it, what it did have was a good read. I had a nice time reading this!
Thank you to Netgalley and the author for this ARC! To anyone who has added this book to their TBR or is on the fence, please do consider picking this up on its official publication date, June 03, 2025....more
I Leave It Up to You follows the story of Jack Jr., a gay Korean man who went into a coma in 2019 and awoke from it 23 months later, much to ★★★☆☆ 3/5
I Leave It Up to You follows the story of Jack Jr., a gay Korean man who went into a coma in 2019 and awoke from it 23 months later, much to his doctor's surprise. We follow Jack Jr.'s journey through recovery, redefining what his life meant, understanding the loss of time and the change of life, and rebuilding familial bonds once given up on. It is a long and very difficult journey that we follow along on that shows how soul-crushing it can be to believe you had everything in life, then you wake up and realize you've lost it all.
: ̗̀➛ My Review Rants
Jack Jr., a now-thirty-years-old man has awoken from his coma in the recovery months of Covid. We follow his story as he recovers in the hospital before returning to a home he hasn't been to in 12 years - back home with his family. Immediately after leaving the hospital, he is thrust back into working at his family's restaurant, a Japanese-Korean sushi/omakase restaurant that is open from 5PM-9PM, giving Jack Sr., Jack Jr., and Juno enough time to do their fish runs that start at 6AM.
Jack Jr. is getting back on his feet, attempting to seek normalcy in his not-so-normal life. He is back to work, doing physical therapy, and is struggling with remembering what happened to him two years ago that resulted in him in a coma that left his family in severe debt. He is struggling to remember why Ren, his ex-fiancé, is suddenly nowhere to be seen and why no one will even mention his name to Jack Jr.
While attempting to find his footing in his chaotic life post-coma, Jack Jr. finds himself meeting up with Emil Cuddy, the attending nurse of his that was there for a majority of his time in a coma. They start to bond and form a relationship built despite the fragility of Jack's life. Things are tumultuous, difficult, and awkward between them as they try to make this balance work.
I enjoyed this book for a good while, until I found myself around 70% of the way in and realized I cannot stand Jack Jr. He had nearly no personality in this book, and I found myself drawn to the side characters stories more like Juno, Appa and Umma, and Zeno. Jack Jr. lacked the ability to communicate with everyone in this book, and I grew increasingly agitated with his nonchalance at nearly every situation. When anyone initiated conversations with him, he did absolutely nothing to carry it or make the conversation have any sort of relevance. He would constantly brush things off, say "Okay" over and over, or would just stare and stare and stare before awkwardly, or just rudely, exiting the situation. I couldn't find myself attached to him as a main character, which is disappointing when we follow such an interesting story for him. I did not personally like the relationship between Jack Jr. and Cuddy specifically because of this. I found that Cuddy was always far more receptive and reactional, expressing his emotions and intentions while Jack Jr. was very wishy-washy and nonreceptive to Cuddy despite clearly having feelings for him.
Despite that, I loved Jack Jr. and Juno together. Their growing bond throughout this novel was my favourite part of it. Such a beautiful and budding relationship between Uncle JJ (Jack Jr.) and Juno. I loved that Juno would express he really needed someone in his life to support him, and Jack Jr. stepped up to be the rock supporting him. Juno was a wonderful kid and Jack Jr. was a wonderful uncle to him. I loved their fish runs and interactions, and I love how wholesome Juno is. He is such a passionate character with so many relatable internal conflicts.
Another thing I really loved about this book was the exploration of being raised in a lower-class Asian family. While it's not common for many Asians, I could personally relate to it and really felt I connected to the situations, especially the emotions of 18-year-old Jack Jr. and Juno. It is hard to be relied on by your family as the sole income to provide for your family while also taking care of them. There are far too many sacrifices to be made and when you are so young and inexperienced, that responsibility is harrowing and traumatizing. The exploration of this on parallel situations between Jack Jr. in the past and Juno in the present time was well done.
I do wish we got more exploration into Zeno's character. She felt like such a vital person to have introduced and while we got so many hints into the abusive lifestyle she lived, I really wished we had gotten to see more for her and where her life went.
: ̗̀➛ Final Thoughts
Overall, it was a good read. A solid 3/5 for me, and I would definitely recommend it to others. Although it is important to note, while this book does follow the life of a man after awaking from a coma and trying to find stability in a modern time during Covid, it is very slice-of-life and doesn't have any direct plot to it. It is just that - following a man through his normal, day-to-day lifestyle. That isn't for everyone.

If We Were a Movie is a fun, cute, coming-of-age young adult sapphic romance. It was such a cute read and I had a really good time with this one, shown in how I devoured this entire read in one sitting. It was my first read by Zakiya N. Jamal, and although my rating is low, I will definitely be checking out books she releases.
: ̗̀➛ Main Characters
Rochelle is our female lead in this novel. She is dead set on going to Wharton for college and just needs that one little thing to make her application stand out. She is highly intelligent, introverted, rational, and a little hot-headed. I enjoyed her as a character, seeing her rationalize her irrational feelings and come to terms with them was really fun!
Amira is our female lead love interest. She is snarky, sassy, dedicated, and doesn't take insults kindly. She turns her grades upside down and becomes a stellar student, much to Rochelle's dismay. She is the assistant manager at Horizon and takes her job very seriously, as she truly loves the theater.
: ̗̀➛ My Review Rants
This book was just so cute. The blossoming friendship turned relationship between Rochelle and Amira was so fun to read! They had fun banter and really made the progression of their relationship feel natural. Not to mention the cover - oh my gosh, the cover!!! It is SO perfect and I feel like the representation of Rochelle and Amira's characters were portrayed perfectly. I couldn't have envisioned better.
The side characters were my favourite part of this novel. Each one of them had their set personality trope and really aced it. They were a bunch of characters, ranging in diversity, who really made Horizon come to life for me. I could see why Rochelle got so quickly attached to the theater because I did as well. I loved reading about and getting to see the lives of side characters develop and see the mishaps or exciting events happen to them.
While I also enjoyed that each character had their quirks, from book smart but emotionally constipated, theater kid, goth kid, overachiever, dumb-jock party guy, rich blond, the-one-guy-who's-always-high, to the drama/soap opera obsessed. There were a lot of tropes, and they were SO fun to read about in such a large group of friends, however I feel like these tropes also made the characters feel very one-dimensional. They never really developed outside of those tropes and stayed true to them til the end - which isn't a bad thing, especially since this was a fun and light read, but for me personally, I would've loved a bit more for them because I was so attached!!
I also feel that the plot was a bit draggy at parts, especially when Rochelle is able to deduce the entire situation quite early on, and then you are left knowing how it'll end. A little more mystery or bigger plot twist would've really lifted the tension and excitement in the book!
Glory's character was a bit of a drag to have around, and Rochelle's thoughts of them were perceivable by me too. Even during the most difficult bits, the high schoolers had to take over and keep things from Glory because they felt Glory couldn't handle news emotionally well, or Glory was shoving extra work onto them that a manager should be handling, not their minimum wage paid employees.
: ̗̀➛ Final Thoughts
Overall, a 2.75/5 rating for If We Were a Movie. Despite my rating, I promise this is not a bad book and I do recommend it! I enjoyed it. It was light, it was fun, Rochelle and Amira were very cute. It didn't quite meet my expectations, but it was by no means a bad book because of it. I struggled to feel attached to characters, but the slice-of-life bits were very fun.
Jennie and Lisa were by far my favourites in this book, as well as Kerry!!! Kerry is so fun; I would love to have a friend like her!!

Immortal is my first experience with Sue Lynn Tan, and I was absolutely blown away. I fell in love with this book the moment I saw it on Netgalley; the cover had entranced me, the premise was exactly what I love in a book, and Sue Lynn Tan absolutely delivered on all fronts. I will be diving into her other books and will officially read anything she writes because I am in love.

“But I'll take a curse from you any day, over the praise from any other.”
Liyen is our female lead, the once-sickly, mortal princess to the Mortal Realm country, Tianxia. Upon receiving the Divine Pearl Lotus, she is healed of her poison and ailments, and restored to not only full health, but even better. She is strengthened by its powers inside of her. She is thrust into the governing position of her kingdom immediately, where those in power despise her. She is unyielding, strong-willed, and dedicated to serving her country. She is very sharp-tongued and witty and is willing to sacrifice herself for those she loves. She was very headstrong, one of the most admirable FMC's I've ever read. I absolutely adore her, even if I sometimes wanted to whack her for being so cruel to Zhangwei.
Zhangwei, otherwise known as the God of War, is our male lead in this book. He is misunderstood, sassy, and ready to burn the world for Liyen's happiness. He is the strongest immortal, bred and raised for war to the point he garnered a nasty reputation in the Mortal Realm, viewed as a vicious, blood-thirsty Immortal who cared not for mortals, and only for strength, death, and the Golden Desert. In fact, none of those are true as we get to know him. He is open-hearted, devoted, very witty, and unrelenting in his pursuits, and he absolutely despises war but knows it is likely the only way to get things done in some situations.
: ̗̀➛ My Review Rants
“I will be leaving your world soon. Will I see you again?” “If you want to see me, nothing will keep me away.”
I have one complaint about this book, so I will start my rant off with it to quickly get this minute problem out of the way. The start was slow. It was a bit of a slog to get through roughly the first ~2-4 chapters, but once it started picking up around 10% in, I couldn't put it down. The writing style can make the beginning feel much slower than it actually is, which I feel may have been what caused the beginning to drag for me a little. But as we got to know Liyen and Zhangwei more, I completely disregarded the slowness of the start.
To push immediately into what I loved about this book, enough so that it not only is an immediate five star for me but is officially entering my all-time favorite shelf - 我的一切, including being top 3 of the best books I've read this year, I'll start with the romance. It came off as insta-love from the male lead, Zhangwei. The swiftness was there, but it was subtle. Focusing a lot of the emotional development of Liyen. It was introduced rather early, but it developed at a pace that didn't feel rushed or unrealistic. I can completely understand if something like this is off-putting to others, but I do hope many will still give it a chance.
The banter between not only Liyen and Zhangwei, but also all other characters in the book from Chengyin, Aunt Shou, to other immortals and deities we meet was very good. It was fun, light, hilarious, and easy to read. The bonds between characters were beautiful. I will say, I do wish we had more development on the side characters like Chengyin, but we did get a lot for Aunt Shou, and there was a beautiful focus on realizing there are always 2 sides to a story, 2 sides of a war. Shedding your ignorant beliefs against one side to listen to their story and recognize that neither side was all-good is such an important lesson. Not every story has a hero and a villain. Sometimes it has two heroes, both misunderstood, or two villains chasing different yet colliding goals. It was a premise focused on heavily in this book that was very well executed.
This book is also as heavy on politics as it is romance. While it is a romance novel, politics and war play a vital part in this book, as well as the emotional and mental development of Liyen. I would still recommend this book to anyone who may not be attuned or interested in political fantasy, because the romance balances it out.
The PLOT TWISTS!!!!!!! I was not expecting ANY of them!!! They had completely caught me off guard, and yet they were woven into the story so perfectly. Through the smallest details, the most intimate situations, everything was being built throughout the book that was entirely unexpected when it came to light at the end. It was so incredibly done, I wept. I fell in love with this world, with these characters, and the plot twist only deepened that, as well as opened up my eyes to everything I had read prior. I genuinely did not expect any of the twists, which made this so much more enjoyable.
I feel like it is so rare to read a book where the plot twists are completely inconceivable throughout the book, and when they all not only get revealed, but make so much sense and tie so many minor things in the story you hardly recalled together into a beautifully woven story of love, politics, and strength. Sue Lynn Tan executed this to absolute perfection. I feel nothing was left unanswered, nothing was cringe or too unrealistic (ironic, considering it is fantasy), and it left me only wishing it never ended.

“I need nothing else. This is everything to me.” He spoke clearly, for my ears alone. “I would give you everything I have, all that I am—and more.”
Beautiful book, beautiful story, beautiful cover, immaculate execution. I will remember this book for many, many years to come. There are not enough stars on this app or in the sky to give this book in this rating to express how deeply I love it. I wish that I could read this book all over again for the first time so that I could cry and feel the way I did all over again. 10/5 stars.
This book is not yet published, but I will be adding it to my physical library upon its official publication. I will be rereading this book many times over in the future. I am so broken to be parting from Zhangwei (and Liyen, but Zhangwei, you have my whole heart). He is the ultimate book boyfriend and no one will ever change my mind on that. edit : it has been less than 10 minutes since I finished writing this review and I have officially preordered the limited special edition of this book off of amazon. I couldn't resist it.
Zhangwei, you are #1. Always and forever. Also.... my beloved... AAAAAA!!!!!!!
