hello everyone! today i am going to be talking about in a holidaze by Christina Lauren and wrapped up in you by Talia Hibbert. so, this is obviously a joint review, since wrapped up in you is pretty short, there isn’t a purpose to have it have its own review.
IN A HOLIDAZE-
so, first of i gave this book 4/5 stars. this book probably could have been less then 4 stars, but i guess its a little to late to change it. but, i feel like this whole book has people that either loves it or hates it, and then there is some like middle ground, which is me.
first thing first, i was so confused about how everyone is connected together. i mean, i feel like when we jumped into this whole story, it was just so confusing, and how all these strangers just somehow all connected. and like half way threw the book we eventually got everything sorted out, but that was like half way threw the book, and just was annoying.
i also was so annoyed about how Mae was getting with Andrew, which was so predictable. and it was kind of annoying because she was like ‘i’ve loved Andrew since i was 13.’ and i mean in the start of the book she kissed Theo, and then she was like omg i love Andrew. and honestly this whole book needed to get rewritten with the plot all figured out.
but, i did find it really funny how they were making all of these OG YA book references. so, they were talking about twilight and edward cullen, which just made me laugh. and then there was a whole thing about hunger games which was so funny and i really liked it.
this book was also a lot more PG-13 then their other books. i mean, there was one sex scene, which is kind of cool if your not a big sex scene person. and most of it was off the pages, and even when they talked about it, it was pretty simple.
but, i did find the whole back and forth between the time change kind of confusing. like, it got very repetitive and it was kind of hard to not compare all of them together and how some of them have the same things happening. and i also expected them more then like 4 of them, which was kind of nice since they all worked in a weird way.
WRAPPED UP IN YOU-
first off, i gave this book 3/5 stars. i honestly liked this book, but it was kind of slow and boring at certain parts. and i mean, i feel like it had its moments and there wasn’t that much of the romance, which was kind of annoying as this went threw.
i did find this book to be pretty confusing since there wasn’t that much talk about how Abbie and Will were together and how they already knew each other. i mean, we knew that he was this famous guy, but that is pretty much it. and like it took awhile to figure out that they grew up together, even though it took awhile to them to actually say that they were childhood friends.
Will was honestly a bit of a dick in the book. i mean, he would just say random crap to Abbie’s grandma and it got to be so annoying. i mean, he would just say garbage and snap at her and was so annoying.
and this book was honestly kind of heavy and there was so much history with the characters. like this book would have worked so much better as a actual novel, not a novella. and i feel like it was so much to get into, and it was so hard since it was so short.
anyway, that is all for today! happy blogmas day 23! i honestly wish i read more christmas books this year, but these two were honestly pretty good. and they definitely the kind of books you would want to read after exam weeks or throughout that week.
