4 stars — This was a cute little read! It was short and, as a result, things moved quite quickly — which isn’t always a bad thing, but it did feel a bit quick on the feelings front. But even as short as it was, it still had some great messages for teens…that I think […]
3.5 stars — This was one of those ones where I felt a bit conflicted. I was drawn right into this story, and after having been a bit burned out, I was so excited to be pulled into reading again. But our heroes, particularly Miles, were really volatile characters, and occasionally that made me uncomfortable. […]
4.5 stars — For a first foray into young adult, Ms. Bowen really nailed the feel of it — I ADORED IT!!! I loved all the different struggles we got to experience with Rachel. From navigating through her grief, adjusting to a father she’s never met, friendships that change and grow, and first love, it […]
4.5 stars — I’m having a hell of a time writing this review, and it’s not because I didn’t love it…probably the cause is the opposite. I truly LOVED it and yet I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts in order. This book was gritty. Emotional. REAL. I felt all the things for both […]
4 stars — Honestly, this book was kind of up and down for me. There were so many things I LOVED, but occasionally I felt like I was missing something. That’s why I ended at 4 stars, b/c there were both 5 star and 3 star moments. I think part of that was our hero and […]
4.5 stars — Oh Ian….Ian was totally the star of this book for me. Not saying I didn’t love Hallie too, but my heart was totally taken in by Ian. Taken in and broken by him…seriously my heart just ached for what he struggled with. And it’s not as though my heart wasn’t aching for […]
3 stars — This one was more light on the romance, focused more heavily on the plot and mystery surrounding Alaina’s brother’s death. I was enjoying the mystery for the first half, but unfortunately I kept wondering about certain things, and I couldn’t get out of my own head. I was still fully entrenched in my […]
4.5 stars — Isn’t it amazing how you can find an author that just works for you? Which is not to say that every book is going to be a mega hit for you, but that you can be guaranteed an enjoyable experience at minimum? It was so refreshing to read another Sarina Bowen book […]
4.5 stars — OMG, this one is totally my favourite in the series!! I totally ship Lennon and Jade, they were so adorable together! I was hooked right from the prologue, and this one was just adorable and fun from start to finish. I felt all of the tummy butterflies, and it was just a […]
This book seemed to jump around a lot and the conversations weren’t very cohesive. I just don’t have the want to try and figure it all out. It wasn’t making sense and I got bored pretty quickly. Also, I got an uncorrected ARC and it had tons of errors that really messed with my enjoyability […]
