[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

Thank you for being "vulnerable" about your reaction to Yours Truly and the desire toward your marriage it sparked. I thought it was beautiful, personally, and my favorite part of the video.💗

[@NicoletteJo22]

Your background is so beautiful!!!!

[@YW2324]

I know right 👍🏻

[@haileyhughes]

Thank you for recommending Carrie Soto is back ,more people need to read It ❤

[@sage7637]

your taste in books is amazing, i know i'll always find something great for myself in your videos

[@renee1292]

I loved the premise of How to Be Eaten! And also was annoyed by the ending. Love your videos and your energy. Your recs have been spot on and I've discovered a lot of awesome books here.

[@Robin-qd9yf]

I read we used to live here because of your vlog and it’s my favourite book of the year. Nothing could have prepared me for it. You slayed

[@courtneyyloves]

I always click right away when you post!! Woot woot 20 books! ❤️

[@ellenlowe9013]

Carrie Soto Is Back was my favorite book of 2023…it might be my favorite TJR I’ve read as well…

[@typeonereader]

[@cherylNA]

I absolutely LOVED Carrie Soto!! I’m so glad you gave it a chance. She is such a bad ass!💪🏽

[@susanriley9135]

The Haters was so good! And loved The Vacancy in Room 10!!! I love a good creepy motel book 📚. Oh and We Used to Live Here 🙌🙌🙌

[@kathleenbombino539]

LOVE Carrie Soto !!❤❤❤

[@BebeGirl259]

Adding The Haters to my thriller tbr list ❤❤❤

[@syrritajones2538]

When you got grossed out by saying “It makes me want to be a good wife to my Husband.” Lmao! 😭😭😂😂

[@haileyhughes]

@@syrritajones2538 like of course i want that… but don’t make me say it lolol 😭😭💀💀

[@NicolesBookishNook]

Carrie Soto is Back was great even with all the tennis scenes I barely kept up with… 😂 I was never a tennis gal in school. Too much running.

[@heatherheather600]

Awesome! Wondering if you would like “ The Lost Bookshop” got it on skip the line. Two timelines, a bit of mystery, women supporting women to offset certain injustices. Love the balance and vibe it left me with. Definitely a bit of good for her. Thank you Hailey! Definitely need your recs to keep my list filled.

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great wrap up 📚🍄🫖🦇👻🍂🧛💀☕🍂🍁

[@alrrenner25]

I love Robyn Harding 😊 and I enjoyed this book!

[@riahtouille]

I agree with you about the violence with guns in a school setting in Off the Deep End. Things like that are a sensitive topic to me, too... my younger sisters were in a school shooting years ago so this topic is not one I like to visit in books - ESPECIALLY when I feel it is handled poorly imo. I got that book for Christmas last year not knowing that gun violence within a school would be brought up even, and it was unfortunately just handled in a way that made me feel uncomfortable.

[@NicoletteJo22]

HOLY COW YES finally hearing someone else talk about Off the Deep End. I also did NOT like it for all the same reasons.

[@raquelventura9563]

She described saving Noah... Right?

[@haileyhughes]

@@NicoletteJo22 the material just wasn’t handled with the gravity it deserves 💔 so disappointing considering how much i loved saving noah, phantom limb & perfect child!

[@krissiet4718]

I DNF’d Saving Noah, It was painful to get to page 80 for me. 😅

[@NicoletteJo22]

@@raquelventura9563 I’ve never read Saving Noah!

[@NicoletteJo22]

@@haileyhughes off the deep end was my first book of hers and I was so bummed. I tried the best of friends and was also let down, but then I read Perfect Child and I was like DING DING we have a winner!!! 🤌🏼

[@NicoleLauraC]

I TOTALLYYYYY agree with your thoughts on Off the Deep End. It felt like she was trying to include too many tropes or trends in it and it felt too all over the place

[@YW2324]

We used to live here is on my TBR

[@haileyhughes]

@@YW2324 i hope you love it!

[@hannahwilborn2755]

I’m honestly glad you didn’t like “Off the Deep End.” It was the first (and only) Lucinda Berry book I’ve read, and I was worried all of her other books would be similar to this one. I trust your opinions even more now!

[@haileyhughes]

@@hannahwilborn2755 i’m so happy i’m not alone in finding that one a flop 😅😅 i wanted to like it but had to be real lol

[@krissiet4718]

I have “really tried” to read 3 Lucinda Berry books, & DNF’d all 3! 🥴

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I think you’re the first person I’ve seen not give just for the summer 5 stars

[@shelbyrose5407]

I really loved Off the Deep End! The ending was meh but i enjoyed the reading experience.

[@haileyhughes]

@@shelbyrose5407 i’m jealous!! i wish it didn’t give me the ick 🥲 maybe just my personal triggers 🤷‍♀️

[@autumnritchie1473]

🥰🥰🥰

[@terridemarest7880]

I liked Off The Deep End. None of her books are under 4 for me. But I see where you are coming from.

[@donnypeters-y9c]

Try the bang bang sisters by Rio youers. Highly recommend

[@ambrelicious04]

Hailey!! I wish you took insurance! I need a new counselor!😢

[@alrrenner25]

Dang I was just starting off the deep end 😢 I love Lucinda berry ,, maybe I will pass on this

[@Saylor666]

I felt the same way about Off The Deep End. The premise sounds amazing but she put waaayyyyyy too much into that book.

[@raquelventura9563]

I think you confused Lucinda Berry's books because what you described is from the book Saving Noah 🤔

[@haileyhughes]

@@raquelventura9563 i was comparing the book i spoke about to saving noah! it’s one of my all time favorite books! i was just pointing out how that book did so well what the others mentioned here failed to do
