3.5 stars — This was a fun book, and George Cooney definitely has me rounding up instead of down. He was hilarious, if a bit unrealistic. I was pretty excited to have a nerdy shy heroine, but honestly that’s not quite what I got with Cassie. We didn’t get more than a shallow reference to […]
3.5 stars — This one was okay. Probably a better book for actual teens instead of us weird adults who like to read YA. I feel like I just wanted more…it was all just kind of basic? I genuinely don’t know how to describe it other than to say that I just didn’t feel the […]
3.5 stars — I don’t know what it is with this book, but I’m having a really hard time figuring out my thoughts on it. Let’s just say that this audio took me forever to finish because I kept pausing and playing sudoku games on my phone instead because it couldn’t hold my attention. I […]
3.5 stars — This was definitely a cute romance, but in the end I was bummed with the hero’s refusal to look at his own issues until he really had no choice. Luis has the nickname of “Saint Navarro”, and he’s definitely the kind of guy always trying to help others, which is admirable. I […]
3.5 stars — I will admit, this one did not start off with a bang for me. I was kind of disappointed in the writing (felt a bit simplistic), and I wasn’t getting captured by our characters. I pushed through because it was an older NetGalley, and I’m really glad I did, b/c about 1/3 […]
3.5 stars — I will admit that I stayed up pretty late into the night finishing this one, because I just really wanted to know what was going to happen. I think if I was a history buff, I would enjoy these books even more. As it is, I really haven’t retained much about British […]
3.5 stars — The humour of these characters is still absolutely fantastic, but I found that I noticed the lack of progression even more in this one. I think my frustration with drawn out mysteries from the reader was showing a bit more. Annette was also extremely frustrating in her obliviousness…or something. There is a […]
3.5 stars — While still not the hit that the entire Sinful Wallflower series was for me, this was a definite improvement over the first Calydon book! I think the writing had improved leaps and bounds, and in the end the disconnect was more in the types of characters in this one, particularly the hero. […]
3.5 stars — I absolutely loved the ace representation in this book, even if it isn’t the same flavour as what I experience. There were many moments where I understood what Alice was feeling, and I both hurt for her and was annoyed with her. On the surface, I feel like I totally should have […]
3.5 stars — I will admit, I read some friends reviews for this book and went in prepared to be annoyed and frustrated, and so I think I was better able to just gloss over the cliché plot aspects, and bad decisions by some characters because I was expecting them. It’s weird how that works […]
