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 […]
4.5 stars — Yeah. That was just…good stuff. I was a bit worried with the whole sister’s ex and all that shiznit, but I shouldn’t have been. Ms. Mayberry showcased how she can offer so much depth and heart and finesse in a truly odd situation, and have me feeling perfectly satisfied when I come […]
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 […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 stars — Heartbreaking. Completely different from many paranormal-ish books I’ve been reading lately. Beautifully written — it jumps around in time a bit, but it’s the first time that I’ve actually enjoyed that in a book and found it appropriate b/c it adds something to the narrative at just the right times. […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — I don’t even know where to begin you guys. I adored it. Like I could feel the stupid grin spreading across my face and couldn’t stop it kind of adored it. Like I cried near the end because I’m stupidly emotional adored it. It started off feeling a bit enemies to lovers-ish […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — I struggled with bits of this book, but on the whole it offered me so much. Portia was one of the biggest mix of conflicting traits I’ve ever seen. She had moments where she was spunky AF, and I was all “YEAH!” But then she would get into her head and would […]
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 […]
