Divine Rivals was sooo good, I'm looking forward to reading the second book! This romance was not for me, unfortunately. I wanted to read one of those trendy romance series and chose one at random. If you know a good one, I'd love a rec.

Can't believe in 2025 Pandora is still giving us ✨nothing✨ in the way of EOY stats.

It did randomly tell me that my top album from a year ago was Midnights💙

I can also see my top artists which sort of make sense. I'm not even a big Mayday Parade fan, I just got obsessed with one specific song lol
