3 stars — Well, I ended up disappointed. This one just didn’t follow any formula I know, and I ended up feeling like I was slogging through the reading. Part of that is that the writing style isn’t a good match for me…it felt a bit verbose, and that’s not to my personal taste. Which […]
Overall: 4 stars — It seems for me that I always end up liking the first book the best…but I’m probably misremembering. That was definitely the case here though! It started off really strong, but all the books were solid Christmas reads. It was interesting to see how each author took the “snowed in together” trope […]
3.5 stars — This one left me with muddled thoughts and feelings, so rating it is a bit hard for me. I’m finding it hard to articulate how I feel, but I’m going to try…this is just your warning. Basically, I enjoyed myself, but I also wasn’t blown away. I think I expected the mental […]
4.5 stars — This book was just really endearing. I laughed a lot, but I also felt a lot, and it made me think about myself a lot…which in my opinion makes for a pretty great book. I had a hard time with our heroine, Millie, but I loved her all the same. What’s weird is […]
This book was fantastic! So much geography incorporated into the story, now I want to visit Charleston! Alice was a bit of a loner growing up and pretty restricted by her mom. I loved how she knew what she wanted and just went for it. Not a whole lot of people can be a pilot, […]
4.5 stars — OMG, I LOVED THIS BOOK!! I was sucked in right from the beginning, and it just had so much of what I love in a Christmas novella! First, I LOVED our characters! Jessie made me want to smack her a few times, because she was so hard-headed and took forever to see […]
4 stars — This was an adorable Christmas story!! And it fits perfectly with the rest of the stories in this series, though it can be read completely as a standalone. But I do love how all of the characters are interweaving…both past characters, and characters whose books I know are still coming! Frankie and […]
4.5 stars — So this was one of those books that I think I subconsciously kept pushing to the back of the pile because I loved the first book so much, I was worried that a sequel just wouldn’t live up to it. And while nothing can top Cinder & Ella, this book had me […]
This is going to be a review of the narration only. You can see my review of the book itself here. Nothing has changed, I love it just as much as I always do. 4 stars for narration — Overall I thought Kirsten Leigh did a great job! She lent a lot of emotion to […]
3 stars — Hmmm… OK. So this book frustrated me. There were parts that really sucked me in and kept me enthralled. But there were also parts that made me feel uncomfortable. And we’re going to start with those and get them out of the way. Now, I might just be super sensitive, I’m not […]
