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 […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — This was a great final book in the trilogy! I felt like all the loose ends were wrapped up in a super satisfying way for the overarching storyline, and the mysteries in this one kept me just as enthralled and hooked. Unfortunately I see a huge book hangover in the future, which […]
4.5 stars — These books just know how to hook me and keep me both laughing and crying…a surprising amount of crying in this one…at least for me. Honestly, the only thing keeping me from rounding up is my frustration with Sunshine. As with another series I’ve read by this author, she likes to make […]
4.5 stars — Welp, can confirm: I truly love Ms. Jones’s wacky brand of humour. I don’t always get all the jokes, but I love the way the characters tease each other mercilessly in her books. I wasn’t expecting this book to be told in relatively equal parts between Sunshine and her daughter Auri, but […]
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 […]
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 […]
