Even If I Fall by Abigail Johnson

Even If I Fall by Abigail Johnson

3.5 stars — This one ended up being a little weird for me, b/c the thing I usually love most about a book is characters…read any of my reviews, it’s always about the characters.  Normally if I can’t connect with them, the book is just not going to hold my attention.  But this was my […]

The Stars Around Us Burn by Allie Martin

The Stars Around Us Burn by Allie Martin

3.5 stars — This was a very hard book to read at times…one that brought out a lot of emotions for me.  LOTS of feels for sure (some “trying to be quiet because my husband’s sleeping” bawling too), but also frustration.  Teenagers are SO FRUSTRATING!!  Which basically means that Nicole was very authentic to me.  […]

My Mistletoe Mix-Up (Ridgewater High #5) by Judy Corry

My Mistletoe Mix-Up (Ridgewater High #5) by Judy Corry

I’d heard of people being called alcoholics before, but in my head they were all middle-aged, angry men who abused their families. They weren’t incredibly handsome and vibrant teenage boys. They weren’t people like Logan. I loved how this one wasn’t […]

The Holiday Kiss (Briarwood High #4) by Maggie Dallen

The Holiday Kiss (Briarwood High #4) by Maggie Dallen

Favorite Quote: I pulled her close, my arms wrapping around her waist and crushing her to me as I took over the kiss, slanting my mouth over hers so I could claim her the way I’d been dying to since…oh hell, it felt like since forever, but that couldn’t be true. She moaned into my […]

Paper Girl by Cindy R. Wilson

Paper Girl by Cindy R. Wilson

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 […]

Maybe Never by Sadie Allen

Maybe Never by Sadie Allen

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 […]
