4 stars — This one went a lot better than I was anticipating in some moments. I’m scurr of “litrature” as Eric would say. I am low brow…so very far from high brow. And I think I can be intimidated by books that have a more high brow feel. This wasn’t quite that though…it was […]
2 stars — Oh dear. I don’t know why I didn’t DNF this book. I should have. I think I just needed to see how it would all end up. But I am so not the reader I used to be, and I can’t unsee some things. BTW, this review is going to be spoilery…and […]
2.5 stars — Well, that was disappointing on a few levels…bummer. First, this is not really a Christmas book, so if you’re looking for a *Christmas* book, this might not fit the bill for you. Essentially the first chapter happens on Christmas day, and that’s the end of anything Christmas. Second, this is the second […]
3 stars — This one just didn’t come together like I expected. It wasn’t a bad book per se, but it was definitely missing some magic. I’m not sure I really fell in love with either character. Nico and Jade are both so…uncertain and wishy-washy with relationships, there just wasn’t a lot that drew me […]
3.5 stars — This had a lot of cute moments, but there were just a few things that prevented it from standing out. Brady was pretty adorable. I loved how caring he was with everyone in his life. But man, he needed to grow some balls (and I hate that phrase). I mean seriously, I […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I absolutely LOVED about this book, but it was also missing something to push it over the top, kwim? I am in LOVE with Asher. He was unique, adorable, almost too good to be true. He swoonily always said the right things when it came to his […]
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 […]
