4 stars — I don’t know why, but I was worried when we first met Jake that he wasn’t going to be the guy…I’m not sure if there was something missing, but once I reassured myself he was the hero, I sort of fell into their story and their romance. I will admit that I […]
4 stars — This series just keeps getting better and better as we get to know the characters and the world more! I think I even had a brilliant theory appear at the end there and I can’t wait to find out if my theory is correct! There were definitely elements that were heartbreaking and […]
4 stars — Honestly, this was just good and cute, with enough depth and growth to keep me interested. Rose was a bit harder for me to connect with at times. It’s not that I didn’t feel for all she went through in her childhood and marriage, but I think sometimes it’s still hard to […]
4 stars — This was a solid YA contemporary, dealing with grief, body image issues, new relationships, and just the basics of being a teenager and all the normal angst that inspires. I really enjoyed Maddie, and she felt very real in so many ways. It was so hard to read about the way she […]
4 stars — There were parts of this book that I absolutely loved, but I think I spent a lot of time thinking of gender identity and all that that encompasses, and while this touched on that to some degree, particularly the paths that were open to women in this time period vs all the […]
4 stars — This series still contains some of the more hilarious characters I’ve ever met, and it delights me to no end…I just wish the pacing was cleaned up a bit, and some bits just feel really repetitive. Still eminently entertaining, especially with Ms. Odom’s narration. I seriously adore Dephne and Annette. They are […]
4 stars — While there were parts of the book that frustrated me, the delightful parts were just so wonderful that at the end that’s what I’m left feeling. I appreciated Phoebe’s determination to seek out a better situation for herself. She’s definitely impulsive and reckless, but it’s tempered by her kind heart and sassy […]
4 stars — Yay! This is getting even closer to the Ms. Reid I fell in love with in her Sinful Wallflowers series! I will admit that while I loved certain parts of Evie, there were other times that she left me confused. I thought she was a good representation of someone who carried so […]
4 stars — That’s what I call a solid romance novella. The perfect amount to draw me in, but still leave me satisfied in the end. These two narrators were new to me, and I must admit I think I have a girl crush on Ms. Siobhan now. I’ll definitely be looking for more from […]
4 stars — I was a little worried about the woo woo aspect of the story, but for me it was just a plot device, and remained a solid contemporary romance. And while this story was light in some aspects, I really appreciated how it brought about these conversations about what makes a relationship long […]
