3.5 stars — I think if I hadn’t been reading this for my Diversity challenge, I might have just DNF’d. And that doesn’t mean the book was bad, just that I think it wasn’t for me. It took me almost a whole month to read this one, I just didn’t reach for it. The narrators […]
4.5 stars — I wasn’t going to write an official official review, b/c I find it harder to do with beta reads. But then I went to write at least a little something, and a whole bunch came out, so here it is… I beta read this one, and all I can say is SHE’S […]
4.5 stars — I told Brett that this one was an amalgamation of some of my favourite tropes: secret identity, secret baby, celebrity…even a bit of second chance. And it fulfilled everything I love about those tropes and more. Basically, Lenore was a happy reader…well, listener. Jonas was NOTHING like I was expecting for a […]
4 stars — This book had a lot of super cute moments mixed with plenty of heart and emotion. I had mixed feelings about our hero, but all in all it was a super satisfying romance. I loved a LOT of things about Weston — from his genuinely good heart, his ability to listen and […]
4 stars — After rereading book 2 in this series, I *had* to go back and reread the first one. There’s something about the whole premise of being trapped in a mall, trying to foil bad guys that just appeals to me. And I almost wonder if I enjoyed it even more the second time […]
4.5 stars — I was so afraid of starting this book, b/c I remember how Hallowed Ground had slayed me. I couldn’t even bring myself to reread the series before reading this one, b/c the emotions just hit home so hard. But as a result of not rereading, I feel like I can confirm that you […]
4.5 stars — Wow, it’s so hard to decide, but I think this was my favourite of the 3 so far! Still absolutely adored Mary Jane Wells as the narrator. She’s so consistent with her voices, with distinguishing between thoughts and dialogue, and she NAILS both the humour and the emotion of our characters. Penny was […]
2.5 stars — Well…I guess this is one series I should NOT have finished. I should have listened to my gut that had me avoiding reading Garrett’s book, b/c this one definitely disappointed. Or maybe it’s that it lived down to my low expectations. Basically, if you’re hoping that Garrett has a huge transformation, or […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 stars — OH YEAH BABY!!! LOVED IT!! This was the book where my hubby looks over at me, sees me grinning like a moron and asks “good book Lenore?” This is the book where I give the big happy sigh at the end. This is the book where I’m fighting back tears […]
4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation. And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]
