Welcome to Friday Five! 🎉

I’ve been thinking about adding another regular feature to the blog, and I wanted it to be something fun, easy to read, and even easier to join in with.

So, welcome to The Friday Five!

Every Friday, I’ll be sharing five recommendations, favourites, or bookish picks around a different theme. Some weeks it’ll be books, other weeks it might be tropes, characters, playlists, adaptations, reading habits, or anything else that feels worth talking about.

The only rule? Keep it to five.

To kick things off, we’re starting with a theme that every reader has experienced at least once…

Books That Broke My Heart 💔

These aren’t necessarily the saddest books I’ve ever read. They’re the ones that left me emotionally winded, staring into space after the final page, or wondering why I willingly put myself through that kind of heartbreak.

1/ What I Should’ve Said by Max Monroe

If you want a book that will make you ugly cry… read this, it’s beautiful but absolutely devastating at the same time

2/ Dating After the End of The World by Jeneva Rose

This one was such a dark horse, because no way did I expect a zombie apocalypse book to be so heartbreaking. 

3/ Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

The family dynamics in this one is so heartbreaking, add that to the the long distance, will they won’t they relationship and its perfect recipe for heartbreak

4/ Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas

Oh this book broke me in ways no other book has. I sobbed MULTIPLE times. The entire TOG series has so many heartbreaking moments, but Kingdom of Ash is in a league of its own. I still think about it daily.

5/ Main Character Energy by Kendall Ryan

A recent read of mine, this one surprised me. It started out cute and then I was sobbing like a babe by the end, it had a bit of a sad twist that I did not see coming. 

I’d love for Friday Five to become something we can all join in with, so if you have a blog of your own, consider this your invitation! Pick the same theme, or come up with one of your own, write your own Friday Five post, and share it. If you do, leave me a link in the comments because I’d genuinely love to read it.

If you don’t have a blog, I’d still love to hear your answers. Pop your five books in the comments and let’s compare emotional damage. ❤️

Here’s to the first Friday Five. I can’t wait to see where this series goes!
