Title: Sometimes I Lie Author: Alice Feeney My Rating: ⭐ Why I gave this rating: This is the first Alice Feeney book I really didn’t like. It was lacking in so many ways compared to her others.

Title: Beautiful Little Fools Author: Jillian Cantor My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (.5) Why I gave this rating: This book was highly addictive and had me from the beginning.
