MariaJuly was full of 5-star reads! I was able to finish the first two books of the Once Upon A Broken Heart series, and they were better than I expected. I was so excited to see more of Jacks and his character development, and he did not disappoint. He is hilariously melodramatic with his blue hair, and his quips. I liked how Evangeline went from wishing to be a part of a fairy tale to being in one. Her view on true love is both admirable and concerning because of the way that she seems to risk herself trying to save her true love. The Ballad of Never After ends with a cliffhanger, and I am excited to find out what happens next. Say You’ll Remember Me was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I loved the way both Samantha and Xavier both fell in love from the beginning. However, they had to do a very long distance relationship while dealing with their economic and familial obligations. There were times in the book that I thought their relationship would come to an end because everything seemed to be against them. But I am glad they tried to prevail. Overall, this book was a wonderful break from OUABH and Women Who Love Too Much. 📖 <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Pixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booktok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booktok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookcommunity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookcommunity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booklover?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booklover</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/reader?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reader</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookish?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookish</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/book?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#book</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kindle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kindle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fictionbook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fictionbook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romancebook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romancebook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fantasybook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fantasybook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romantasybook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romantasybook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historicalfiction?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#historicalfiction</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/youngadultfiction?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#youngadultfiction</a>
