Your feelings about the tension before they get together being top tier and then being boring after they get together is such a mood for how I feel about most romance books as well!
The do-over: I think it was his dead brother who was the cause for the time loop. Since they said that it stopped after they had the day he would call “the perfect day”
I HATED the light we lost. I felt like it was so toxic and did not give me the vibes that the characters were supposed to be together at all! So glad you felt the same way 😫
My february highlight which will also be my year Highlight was the stationary shop. I've never read such a beautiful and heartbreacking book. I highly recommend it!
I'm sad In a Jam put you in a slump, but I'm happy you loved the niece!! She was my favorite character too, I loved her so much. She was so cute and fun and adorable 🙈🙈 glad you're out of your slump now!! Excited for your tbr video💕
I read in a jam last month also and I feel the EXACT same way you do about it. You explained it perfectly. Genie definitely made the book for me and the rest fell flat but in the beginning I was LOVING it.
So glad you are out of your reading slump. They are just the worst thing. Last year I was in one for a few months and it was terrible I thought it would never end. Loved this video and happy reading during March 😊
I JUST finished Rock Paper Scissors and i loved it - 4 stars .. BUT that plot twist made me feel like i was lied to!! 😆 (even though i wasn't lied to at all 🤣👌) AND next up i am going to start Things We Never Got Over - FINALLY.. after it has been on my TBR for 8+ months 🙈, i am not letting the length of that book intimidate me any longer! 😊
Omg I 100% agree with your review of The Light we Lost. Soooo many people loved that book and I felt like I was in the twilight zone lol. Lucy was a terrible person and the ending was a hard no for me!
Loved the video Rach!! A book I highly recommend is 'Cleopatra & Frankenstein' by Coco Mellors!! It has become my new favourite book, but you can't go into it expecting the perfect romance, I think fans of 'Normal People' would enjoy this! Plus the cover is stunning💖
I pray you don't get a reading slump anytime soon, Rachel. I also don't like to read Shadowhunters books when I'm in a slump. I usually go to mysteries when I'm in a slump. Anyway, another lovely video! Adore youu 💜💜
I totally agree with your thoughts on In a Jam! The spice definitely took over from what could have been a really good plot. I felt that (slight spoiler) the author should totally have put the letters at the start of each chapter instead of those random school notes, then we would have seen a better insight into their teen relationship and the reveal would have been much more exciting!
This is making me want to reread the light we lost because I remember when I read it really enjoying it- not for the characters but the way it made me reflect and think about things and how trauma bonds people. I never liked the emotional cheating aspect but for some reason that story just made me think and has stuck with me so much- reminded me of the way I felt reading After I Do and One True Loves- like I didn’t love those characters but I loved the way it caused me to reflect and think about life and love.
I've been in such a huge book slump for most of this year already. I only read 3 books in January and didn't read any in February. I did start a fantasy romance series in March and so far I'm on the second book. I'm hoping that being consistent will help me get through this book slump. The progress is slow but I'm getting there haha
Congrats to you on your reading for the last month of February tbr well done to you love you and your amazing channel prayers and thoughts for you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤ I am really sorry about missing your last few videos as I have had a heart attack but I am feeling better know
"if only i had told her", the second book to "if he had been with me" is coming out on october and we're getting finny, jack, and autumn's pov. im ready for another breakdown
This feels like deja vu so I apologize if I've recommended this before, lol, but I really loved Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter. It's so, so funny. It's fall themed but not heavily so it could be enjoyable any time even if you're a seasonal reader.
I read things we never got over im feburary and i am so excited to read the second one! And you also just reminded me that i rly want to read the vanishing half! I am also looking for closed door romance books at the moment. Do you have any recommendations? Love from Germany🧚♀️
I love all of your reviews! Currently reading Things We Never Got Over and I’m obsessed. It would be amazing if you could do a review of Christian non fictions that you’ve read? Just a thought! Have a beautiful day!
I think the ground hog day was happening for because the universe wanted her to be with nick and to let her let lose alittle to be herself 😅and on that final day she did both of those things !
I read if he had been with me in 2 days. I actually cried at the end. I never cry. I just did not see it coming. I saw some stuff coming but not that. I was so mad lol. I also loved the dark artifices series soooo much.
I feel like a story is a timeline of events and someone is telling you what happened and book is more dialogue… a love story is two peoples journey and a romance is cutest or sultry … right?
I agree about Taylor jenkin reid. I feel like the further back I go the worse her books get. She’s definetly improved her writing over time. Forever interrupted was not it for me, just said for way to long. I’d rather have the love story then third act he dies versus he dies right at the beginning
i used to never give out 1 star until i real the light we lost... i hate-read the whole thing and my jaw was literally on the floor bc i couldn't believe how bad it was
I personally did not enjoy In a Jam at all. I dnf and I’m happy I did everything about it was so boring to me. I thought the characters were bland and I did not like the little girl. I found her to be very annoying and I internally cringed whenever she was on page. I was really hoping to love it because I heard so many good reviews, but I didn’t and I will not be reading anything from this author EVER again. 😤 sorry for my rant I just had to get that out

Just wrote something similar and hadn't read your comment but spot on!
THE DO-OVER SPOILER - DO NOT READ AHEAD!
The day kept repeating because of the brother that died was setting them up - as implied by his jacket
omg thank you !!! 🙌🏼 that makes so much sense!
why did I not think of that?!! I thought it was repeating because she was meant to help Nick to forget about the trauma for at least a day 😭
Another great book video! Some of those books are on my TBR especially The Vanishing Half and Things We Hide From The Light.
I HATED the light we lost. I felt like it was so toxic and did not give me the vibes that the characters were supposed to be together at all! So glad you felt the same way 😫

I love these videos their one of my favourite.
I'm so glad you enjoyed reading the vanishing half! It was so good!

yes absolutely loved the niece!!

100% agree!!
Came for the books, subscribed because of the scripture 🫶🏽
RC Sproul is my fav! His explanation about pre-destination is soooo good. So cool to see you share it!
such an incredible theologian!
I completely agree with your thoughts on In A Jam 😊
Reese will forever has my heart

that's honestly a really great way to look at it and I can definitely understand your perspective!! So glad you enjoyed it!

This video was pretty good😄☺. You are making me want to read Things We Never Got Over.
you should!!
I love the Bible verses at the beginning of your videos
🥹❤️
I absolutely LOVED the Vanishing Half! I read it in February also and it was an easy 5 star read for me
truly incredible!!!
In the do over the time loop was because she wore his dead brothers jacket the first day, I believe
Even with a reading slump you read so many books ❤❤
"if only i had told her", the second book to "if he had been with me" is coming out on october and we're getting finny, jack, and autumn's pov. im ready for another breakdown
I don't think I'm ready 🥲
instantly clicked!! my subconscious mind knows what to do.. love you!!!
YES!!! About the light we lost!!! I felt the same way about this book, I was just annoyed at the characters the whole
Time
Totally feel the same about Forever Interrupted! I struggled to finish it
This feels like deja vu so I apologize if I've recommended this before, lol, but I really loved Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter. It's so, so funny. It's fall themed but not heavily so it could be enjoyable any time even if you're a seasonal reader.
Amazing video as always Rachel!
I’m way too excited to read Things We Hide From The Light 😭😭😭
pls update me on your thoughts
I read things we never got over im feburary and i am so excited to read the second one! And you also just reminded me that i rly want to read the vanishing half! I am also looking for closed door romance books at the moment. Do you have any recommendations? Love from Germany🧚♀️
I love all of your reviews! Currently reading Things We Never Got Over and I’m obsessed. It would be amazing if you could do a review of Christian non fictions that you’ve read? Just a thought! Have a beautiful day!
Forever interrupted in my opinion is the best TJR book I’ve ever read
I'm honestly really glad other people enjoy it!! Just wasn't the book for me 🥰
The Vanishing Half was a ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ read for me I LOVED IT 🌹
we love to see it!!
PLEASEEE get a goodreads rachel i need to stalk every single book you’ve read
What are your thoughts about spicy books as a christian woman?
I think the ground hog day was happening for because the universe wanted her to be with nick and to let her let lose alittle to be herself 😅and on that final day she did both of those things !
In “The Do Over” it starts happening because of his brothers jacket!
omg okaaaaay that makes so much sense!!!
I feel the exact same way about the eden series lol
I read if he had been with me in 2 days. I actually cried at the end. I never cry. I just did not see it coming. I saw some stuff coming but not that. I was so mad lol. I also loved the dark artifices series soooo much.
literally heartbreaking 😭
Can you recommend a good one, maybe that you liked, in the trop right person - wrong time ?)
No the do over I totally agree. Why was that never explained?? Felt like I totally missed something
I was also in a reading slump for most of the month 😅
But I still managed to read 5 books 🤗
5 books is amazing!! but we do hate reading slumps lol
I’m about to start Lady Midnight!! I’ve fallen so far behind with Cassandra Clares books!! 😅
it's such a big world of books but I love it!
I have a recommendation for you, I am only like 12% in but I love it and it’s Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan 👌🏻
loved this video !! 🤍
I read forever interrupted this month too and also gave it 2.5 stars. It was not it 😬 it dragged on so much. Definitely prefer TJR’s more recent books
can you please do a video ranking all the Taylor Jenkins Ried books
Cool !
Do you have a Goodreads Rachel?
The way the Light we Lost put me in the worst reading slump I’ve been in for years 😅
devastating 😭
I feel like a story is a timeline of events and someone is telling you what happened and book is more dialogue… a love story is two peoples journey and a romance is cutest or sultry … right?

I think I agree! It's hard to get attached when you know he passes away
I kinda want to read Forever, Interrupted now haha, sounds similar to p.s i love you
maybe you'd love it!!
Does Rachel not have a Goodreads ?
Nope! She said it's just not for her.
Let’s calm down 😂👏🏻
😂
I felt the same about the light we lost it was hyped up and I really thought I would like it more but I hated the main character
I DNF’d Jill Santopolo’s other book More Than Words back in December. The writing was just not easy to get into for me.
Please please please read By a Thread by Lucy Score!!!
i used to never give out 1 star until i real the light we lost... i hate-read the whole thing and my jaw was literally on the floor bc i couldn't believe how bad it was
I feel the same about The Play by Elle Kennedy. I hated that book so much, so many issues with it 🤣
I only read 1 book cause I’m on a reading slump… 😢
4:34 dont u love magnolia parks tho
2 thousandth like
pls do a book giveaway
What is DNF?
'did not finish' 🫶🏼
Oh no.. the do over is a book i would never recommend.. except if we are talking about 12 yeard old girls
I had to DNF it!
I also hated The Light We Lost. I just thought it was bad writing and Lucy was whiney.
I personally did not enjoy In a Jam at all. I dnf and I’m happy I did everything about it was so boring to me. I thought the characters were bland and I did not like the little girl. I found her to be very annoying and I internally cringed whenever she was on page. I was really hoping to love it because I heard so many good reviews, but I didn’t and I will not be reading anything from this author EVER again. 😤 sorry for my rant I just had to get that out
You hate a book because the character was having an emotional affair.... isn’t that just the plot?
The background music in this video is so distracting! 😭
