Touchstone by Karen Stivali

Touchstone by Karen Stivali

3.5 stars — This was a pretty cute, light story with a good dose of woo-woo. Normally, I am not a super big fan of woo-woo, but I found that the way it was presented in the book was just as an important aspect of who Sam and his family were…not in a holier than […]

The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan

The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan

4.5 stars — This one surprised me with how much I loved it. Both narrators were new for me, but I enjoyed them both.  They had great pacing, great emotions, and pretty good distinct voices.  Mr. Griffith nailed Ethan’s kindness and occasional innocence.  Ms. McKenna NAILED Naomi’s dryness, and the balance between her hard edges […]

4 stars — Well this book surprised me with the depth it contained!  It also had me ordering Japanese food, but that’s because I’m easily influenced. This was my first time listening to Ryan West, and he was pretty solid.  I will say that with both narrators I had a harder time figuring out dialogue […]

3 stars — Well.  OK.  Hmmm…maybe 3.5?  I don’t know.  It didn’t end strong for me. The major problem I had was entirely with Aria.  She wasn’t horribly unlikable necessarily, but the choices she made and the way she behaved at times just drove me up the wall.  And in the end I feel like […]

I’ll Be the One by Lyla Lee

I’ll Be the One by Lyla Lee

4.5 stars — OMG!  The cuteness!  I can’t even!  I love YA’s like this, that make me feel uplifted and light even though they deal with some tough subjects.  I felt a mix of emotions while reading it, for sure, but my overall feel was one of sparkling happiness. Can I just start by saying […]

My Bare Lady by Piper Sheldon

My Bare Lady by Piper Sheldon

4 stars — When I first read this blurb, I wasn’t at all interested…I don’t know why, I think because Suzie is always shown as so unstable…or at least that’s the impression I get from Winston Brothers books.  But then I read the second book in this series, and I totally figured out what they […]
