Hello, and welcome to Read By Tiffany! To help understand how I review books, here is my rating system, used in most of my reviews starting in January 2018. My ratings are influenced by a number of factors including the writing, characters, plot, themes, etc. In the end, my final star rating will depend on how much I enjoyed reading the book.
Please note that all opinions are exclusively my own and are in no way influenced by whether or not I received a book from a publisher or an author in exchange for a review. If a book was given by a publisher or an author, it will be noted in the post.
I didn’t enjoy reading this book. The plot, characters, writing, etc. didn’t work for me, and I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone else.
I didn’t love or hate this book. There were likely a few enjoyable moments, but overall, it probably isn’t for me.
I enjoyed reading this book. It could have used more development and refining, but the plotline had potential.
This book was an extremely enjoyable read. I would still recommend it for others to read, but there were a few small aspects that prevented it from being a full five stars. 
I loved this book with all my heart. I would reread it again endlessly and recommend it to everyone I know. The characters were extremely personable, and I loved them. The writing was spectacular, and the plotline was enticing and enjoyable to read.
Often times, I will give half-star ratings when I feel that a book falls directly in-between two ratings.
