The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is SUCH A MASTERPIECE, I cannot scream enough about how good it was. I don't cry on books, but it made me tear up various times, so it was definitely impactful. I haven't read The Spellbook of the Lost and Found, but the author's debut, The Accident Season was FANTASTIC, so I definitely think you should check it out. :) Also, we are in the same shoes - I also need to reread The Darkest Minds. I read it 2-3 years ago, and barely remember anything, so I cannot continue the series without a reread first. I can't wait to read The Exact Opposite of Okay, my friend has been raving about it constantly. :)

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is definitely one of those stand out books you won't forget! I'm glad you liked The Accident Season, I'm even more excited to read it now. The Exact Opposite of Okay is another book that really leaves an impression on you. :)
DeleteI had The Darkest Minds trilogy on my Kindle forever, and when the news of the movie and new book came out, Cyra, from Rattle the Pages, decided to do a four book read-a-long. We just finished book two, Never Fade, which was better than book one for me, and thats saying something because I really liked book one. I hope you have time get to them soon. ☺
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked Never Fade even more, I'm excited to finally get around to reading the rest of the series! :)
