    that's EXACTLY how I felt about like the whole ACOTAR series. I don't even mind the spice that much, but I felt like every book was a slog until the last 50 pages when all of the plot was crammed in. The end was always great, and made me want to read the next one, but then it would start up again where it was ridiculously slow for 400 pages until the end

    I highly recommend starting with the book The Rose Gate, it’s a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, it’s the first one I read and it’s sooooooo good!!! It was a 6 star read for me!

    I recently just read the house across the lake in the sole purpose of understanding what you read and it was SOO GOOD!
    I was wondering if you’d be interested in reading a book called “The Invention of Wings” by Sue Monk Kidd. It’s not very popular but I read it was one of my first historical fictions and I think you’d really like it!
