4 stars — Every time I read a book by this author, I’m always taken to a world completely unlike anything I was expecting…and not only that, but unlike anything I usually read. I tagged this as pirates, but pirates are never referred to in the book. But it was the closest thing I could describe […]
4 stars — You know what? This was not as crazy and over the top as I’d been expecting. I think Max Monroe rides that line for me, where my secondhand embarrassment just gets to be too much, and in general this one survived my cringe test. I think part of what helped me enjoy […]
4 stars — Another fun, cute, satisfying little audiobook novella! The narrators were both new to me, and they were okay, but I wasn’t blown away. I liked Ms. Nankani more than Mr. Adam. The pacing was good for both of them, and some of their voices were great, but others were only okay for […]
4 stars — Yeah, this worked for me. Like, I can see things that might not work for others, but it totally worked for me. And I think I was surprised, b/c of the whole BFF’s ex thing, but I was satisfied with how it played out for the most part. I get that Rachel […]
YOUR FRENCH KISSES: 4 stars — This was just cute. I really felt the connection between Marley and Reed, it really was magical and bittersweet. It was the perfect story for novella form, b/c we got a glimpse of the present, then the whole past story, then back to the present. It helped us invest […]
4.5 stars — OK, I am officially a fan of audio novellas!! Especially when they’re part of a subscription service. They’re like little romance snacks. I mean, this is my first one, but I’m going to blanket statement that shit. Teddy Hamilton was delightful as always. And jesus, his Will voice? SWOON. Cooper was pretty […]
4.5 stars — OMG, I seriously love this author. And I love her even more when listening to her narrated by my favourite narrators. This was a trifecta of goodness! Let’s start with the narrators. Luci Christian is wholeheartedly one of my favourites. She nails that spunky mixed with sweet. And I’m not sure if […]
4.5 stars — Who wrote thoughts of this book down a long time ago, then forgot about it, so isn’t going to both cleaning it all up and making it pretty and you just get what you get? This girl! Definitely emotional, but not as angsty as I was expecting. Just a lot of heart […]
3.5 stars — I think in the end I *wanted* to like this one more than I actually did. It was longer. The pace was slow at times. I didn’t always like Theo. And I just didn’t get as captured emotionally. Basically I can think of other books that share elements of the plot that […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, I can’t handle mysteries…and yet I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I mean, I kept taking breaks along the way, b/c I’m so fucking impatient and I just want answers….but then I’d start it up again and be sucked in! So for something outside my wheelhouse, this was a total success. The […]
