4.5 stars — Yay for exceeded expectations! I was definitely super looking forward to this book from the moment I met Willa in the first book, even if I was less sure of Jackson. And I devoured this book! It just hit so many spots for me, you know?? We all have our different tastes […]
4 stars — I love it when characters are inherently good, they just need a little more growth along the way. The narrators were solid. I’ve enjoyed Ms. Mitchell before, and did in this one as well. She had a great voice for Charlie, really expressed her mix of exuberance, petulance, and shyness…basically I was […]
3.5 stars — If you have triggers, definitely check out trigger warnings for this book. I will admit, I found this book very confusing…not sure if it was my frame of mind, or the book, but there were definite moments where I had a hard time following Violet’s thoughts and actions. I will also note […]
4.5 stars — This one just hit me in all the right spots. I loved that it was the perfect fat girl book for me, in that it was so realistic — a mix of struggles with being fat, and feeling positivity. I think I was in right from the author’s note at the start, b/c […]
2 stars — I only read this whole thing because I thought it might be like those Harlequins where there’s a payoff of growth and misunderstanding at the end. As you can see by my rating, that was not the case. The characters were both pretty shitty IMO. I started getting icky feelings right from […]
2.5 stars — I mean…it was easy reading. But wow, I’m really not the reader I was 10-15 years ago. Emma was okay. I appreciated that she did try to stand up for herself on occasion, and even succeeded. I wish we’d gotten to see more of her life, her painting, her passions. I did […]
4.5 stars — Do you ever have reading deja vu? I got that a lot reading this book, but I genuinely don’t know if I read it, or it was just deja vu. Didn’t diminish my enjoyment one bit though. I definitely had moments where I was uncertain where it was going to go, or […]
4.5 stars — I think I’m becoming a Devney Perry fan. This series is my first real foray, but there’s something about the way she writes romance that just works for me. There’s enough push and pull in a lot of areas of the plot, but it doesn’t drag out the relationship necessarily. You actually get […]
3.5 stars — Welp, this probably wasn’t the best time to read this one because I had a bunch of life going on…but I don’t think I would have been as excited about it either way. It just wasn’t what I remembered from the first two books. And the funny thing is, I was really […]
3.5 stars — This was a super fast and easy read. Both Nick and Cassie were pretty easy to like, and I enjoyed them together, though I will admit that I didn’t enjoy them as much as some other couples I’ve read from this author. I think my rating is more of an “it’s not […]
