bookshelves: favorites, read-in-2021
Read 11 times. Last read October 8, 2021.
Re-read 10/8/21: I have nothing to add that I haven't already said lol. Lucy + Josh + me forever
Re-read 3/17/20: This book never fails to ease my anxieties and I love it with all of my heart. Forever indebted to this book for making me smile through the roughest times. Also, Lucy and Josh can both, like, get it
Re-read 5/25/19: Realized I hadn't re-read this in 2019 and obvs had to remedy that. I love this book so damn much that I could probably recite it in my sleep. Swooney swoon swoon.
Re-read 12/30/18: I had a mighty need to re-read this so it would be my last read of the year and I clearly have no regrets. I've read this book so many times now I could probably recite all the swooniest bits from memory lmao. I still love Lucy & Josh 4ev@
Re-read 9/27/18: Welp arcs of 99 Percent Mine dropped on Edelweiss so I HAD to re-read this and hi hello I still love these two jerks so damn much wow. I’m a puddle.
Re-read 3/27/18: Do you ever just love a book so much you read it SIX TIMES? Bc same. I love Lucy 4 ev@.
Re-read 12/30/17: Had to re-read this one last time in 2017 because I love it so damn much. Every time I re-read it I expect to like it less, but I just like it more and more and more every time. This book is my life, y’all.
Re-read 10/31/17: Was feeling a little gloomy so I decided to re-read this book for the 4th time this year and, again, it did NOT disappoint. This book is my everything. I can’t.
Re-read 7/16/17: Yep, I did just read this for the third time this year. That's how much I fucking love this story. Lucinda and Josh are just the cutest and this book slays me every time. Sa-woon.
Re-read 1/28/17: Yes, my re-read of this book happened only a few weeks after completing my original read because I JUST COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. This book is adorable and phenomenal. I will say however, this re-read was done mostly via audiobook and I will say I didn't enjoy it as much that way as I did by just reading the physical book. I feel like some of the tones and inflections that narrator uses don't quite match up with the Josh/Lucinda in my head. But other than that FLAWLESS AND ADORABLE. I adore this little book.
Original read 1/10/17: Fucking CUTE. OH MY GOD. Editing to add that while I do read a lot of romance, I rarely take any chick lit/romance seriously. THIS ONE, however, got right under my skin. I adored it. I love it in a similar way to how I love Attachments. So stinking cute.

I have re-read this book so many times it's ridiculous. Sally Thorne needs to publish her next book like right now.

AGREED! It kills me that the release date got pushed back :(
Yes I know! I pop by the page awhile ago and was slightly offended to see that the dates were pushed back. But oh well... as Long as it doesn't get pushed back any further than that I'm all good
I found your channel last night and heard you praise this book so much I got it and read it in one sitting. I'm not disappointed at all! Thank you!
I need to reread it now, I've been resisting the urge but I need to relive that world!!
LOL, I keep wanting to re-read this, but I keep letting more and more friends borrow it.
I finished it for the first time yesterday! Picked it up on your recommendation, obvs. THANK YOU!
I'm thining of picking it up real soon, too!
I picked it up because of you
I've read it for the second time late in December and I immediately wanted to start it all over again!
Thank you so much for recommending this book! Definitely a great start to my year.
I just read this because you recommend it so much- I loved it so much and my heart is full! I also love your hair atm (important side note) lol
I just read this because you talk about it all the time on youtube - no regrets. I fucking loved it.
I had to reread in the week I had it out from the library. Now I definitely need to buy it for more rereading
I have re-read it 3 times already. Every time I hand been sad when it’s over. I don’t know what to read next!!
ok, now I really have to read this! 6times!
This may sound random... but I was flicking through my Instagram of some of my fave G.O.T. people, and thought... ya know that Masie Williams makes a great Arya, but seeing her all dressed up outside of the show, she's adorable... if they did a The Hating Game film adaptation I can totally see her as Lucy taking a few paint ball shots for her team....😉 just my opinion...
I thought I was crazy for having read this 3 Times. Now I don’t feel bad at all reading it for the 4th. I love the way the romance is so nuanced. It’s passionate, but not overkill and full of filthy language. What is Attachments??
I read this book because of you!
I only bought and read this book because of you and it was such a fun good read.
Oh my gosh, you have seriously gotten at least half of goodreads to read this book, I swear! I love you and this book, beautiful! 💖xx
Great review, Chelsea! I was definitely pick this up!
I've read it online but I need my own physical copy to read it again
I just finished reading this book and I already want to re-read it!! Happy to know I’m not alone.
I just finished it and miss it sooooo much!! So what book is next? Any suggestions?
Love this book SO much! Can't wait for 99 Percent Mine <3
Did you get an ARC of 99 percent mine? I got one I'm so excited to read it!! I screamed and scared my cat when I found out lol
I reread this one recently and I really do love it!
OMG she read it again. I guess you really love it??? LOL.
Yes! I loved it like Attachments! About to reread as well.
I've never related to a review so much, this is literally me, I basically know the book of by heart and I still go back and re-read it AND enjoy it
I just finished this title and thought about rereading it but then thought no, no that’s silly. “You only JUST finished it” but I see now I’m not the only one in love with this world!
I love that you have re-read this so many times! I don’t know if I’ve done that with any book except maybe Alice in Wonderland or the Harry Potter series. Maybe I should make time to re-read some old favorites this year!
No regrets here either. My mother and daughter admitted reading twice too! I have never had the impulse to re-read a book. Not any of my I adored favorites, yet The Hating Game dialogue just make me giggle out loud as I'm reading (strange looks for my husband LOL). For me it's just a super happy and unique read.The characters so endearing. Shout out to Shortcake.
I have reread this book so many times and it never disappoints. I also will occasionally play the audio book and fall asleep to it. It seriously is my favorite book ever.
Your reviews made me have to have this book and I now that I have read it myself i know I will re-read this many times over. I was pulled in from the first page and I immediately loved Josh. There were so many times I was screaming from surprise and excitement, and I couldn't figure out how he would make it work for them but his solution left me in tears. I read this in one sitting. Thank you for this review, I haven't enjoyed a book like this in some time.
I love this! I have reread this many times as well!
I have re read this more than I re read the HP!!!
Girl thank you so much for recommending this constantly. It was perfection!!
this book sucks so bad i pooped
Chelsea, I loved your review and can totally related to the multiple readings as I’ve done the same thing with Jenny Colgan’s “Mure” series. Your review is why I finally got this out of the library so thank you. I loved it so much that, right after I finished it, I bought both the Kindle and Audible versions!
Thank yiu so much for the referring of this book!! Saw yiu do a video on ot, and i now just finished it. Loved it!
Thank you for writing this review! It convinced me to get this book. It’s such a fun, horny read!
Haha, thought I was going crazy re-reading this book till I saw all the comments. So many re-readers! Yes, A must read! Lucy is just soo cute! Love her!
Read it for the first time and it was a library loan. I am now going to buy it and have it in my e-reader library. Love love love love it!
I’m with you on this. I’ve easily read this 20 times and counting. Gosh darn it Sally Thorne hit it out the park with this one. & the Epilogue at the end of 99% Mine was magical. I think we deserve an epilogue about Joshua & Lucinda at the end of every ST book
Your represent me! I read this so so many times already, it is my pick me up.
