4.5 stars — I kind of avoided this book b/c I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but the funny thing is that my expectations were kind of wrong in some ways, and it took me to places I wasn’t expecting but that seriously delighted me. So the lesson is: stop procrastinating […]
4 stars — Tam and Josh were just quirky and funny and nerdy and dorky and cute. It took me a bit to settle into this one. Maybe because I was just getting over a cold so my brain was a bit foggy? Not sure. Maybe because some of the situations felt a bit cliche? […]
3.5 stars — So, this one was hard for me. And mostly just from a personality perspective, which hopefully will make sense. Here’s the thing: I am more like Emily in the Nerd Herd. I have always bucked *against* popularity, and just wanted to find people who like me for me. So Lily was always […]
4 stars — Oooo, this one is hard for me to rate, because I was genuinely frustrated by the lack of communication by both Sadie and Desmond. BUT there were all these other good things in the book, so I’m sticking with the 4 stars, and not 3.5…the good deserves it. I think part of […]
4.5 stars — I totally didn’t reread the blurb before starting this book, and completely forgot the hook for this story! It had me sucked in and emotionally invested right from the start. E was absolutely adorable. His whole character, and the romance between E and Delilah reminded me of one of my favourite authors, […]
4 stars — I was worried about this one! In the first chapter, I was NOT getting a good feeling for Ian. Like, he seemed like a self-involved douchecanoe. I was contemplating DNFing…but I persisted, b/c it’s Lauren Layne. And while she’s not a guaranteed win for me, she gives me enough success to push […]
Jaime seems a bit insecure and although I understand why I think they focus too much on it. And Dante is oblivious to his own feelings, which I think is drug out too long and got a little annoying the more it went on. The book as a whole was good but not as good […]
4 stars — This one had the opposite effect of the previous two books…I spent a lot of time wary and annoyed with the decisions that Ashton was making early in the book, but she redeemed herself and the ending was satisfying!! So weird. I saw a few reviewers mentioning how they feel like Evan […]
4 stars — Well, apparently this is going to be a theme. I LOVE so much about these books, they just delight me to no end. BUT, as with book 1, I personally did NOT like the conflict/climax and resolution. It’s so hard when you love a book so much, and then the end doesn’t […]
4.5 stars — Oh you guys…I am so torn on my rating for this one. Because the things I loved about this book are like 6+ stars OMG! Buuuutttt…there were a few things that just kept it from perfect. So do I rate 4.5 rounded down? Straight 4? 4.25? Whatever’s at the front of this […]
