One-line Reviews: Spring 2023

I’m technically on hiatus, but it’s just impossible for me not to share my thoughts on the books I read apparently haha so to compromise here I am offering a recap with this post of one-line reviews for some of the books I’ve read/finished so far this year (be prepared for quite the assortment as you scroll haha). It’s short and gets to the point so if you haven’t been a fan of my usual sprawling review style then this is the complete opposite. If you do prefer my lengthier posts then you’ll be excited to know that a few books not on this list will have their reviews shared one a day for the rest of this week with a more in-depth spotlight.
