Mini-reviews of all the books I read in 2022

Don't worry, I'm a university student. There's not that many. Wilder Girls Rory Power ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Thrilling and brutal. I was absolutely absorbed into this chilling, cruel, atmospheric world. I loved the element of body horror, it was gripping in an awful way and it was so brilliantly compelling. The ending was a huge let-down, though. I hope there's a sequel published at some point, because absolutely nothing was resolved. Payback's a Witch Lana Harper ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This was an absolute delight. A romcom that is both poignant and funny, it perfectly balanced the romance and the main plot, giving equal development and depth to the descriptions of the magical tournament, Emmy and Talia’s growing relationship, and Emmy’s struggle with her conflicting feelings towards the hometown she never thought she’d want to return to. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys fluffy romances and/or urban fantasy, since it perfectly caters to both. Malibu Rising Taylor Jenkins Reid ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
