4 stars — OMG emotionally draining. This book had an ending that was both perfect and slightly unsatisfying…but maybe just for me. It left me feeling very conflicted, b/c the ending fit the story, but I kept wanting something else…but I would have been disappointed if I’d gotten that something else. The narration was fucking […]
4 stars — I was worried about this one! In the first chapter, I was NOT getting a good feeling for Ian. Like, he seemed like a self-involved douchecanoe. I was contemplating DNFing…but I persisted, b/c it’s Lauren Layne. And while she’s not a guaranteed win for me, she gives me enough success to push […]
4 stars — Well that was a cute story with a lot of depth underneath. Jamie and Briar were both pretty easy to love. I loved how positive Jamie could be, and what difficult choices he was faced with. I totally got his unwillingness to upset the status quo, and how stuck he felt with […]
4 stars — I can’t seem to get my thoughts in order. I fucking hate that. So I apologize if this review feels a bit scattered. I definitely felt a lot more connection between Tanner and Jax. I loved the way they connected, and that while there were a few obstacles in their way, in […]
4 stars — Every time I read a book by this author, I’m always taken to a world completely unlike anything I was expecting…and not only that, but unlike anything I usually read. I tagged this as pirates, but pirates are never referred to in the book. But it was the closest thing I could describe […]
4 stars — You know what? This was not as crazy and over the top as I’d been expecting. I think Max Monroe rides that line for me, where my secondhand embarrassment just gets to be too much, and in general this one survived my cringe test. I think part of what helped me enjoy […]
4 stars — Another fun, cute, satisfying little audiobook novella! The narrators were both new to me, and they were okay, but I wasn’t blown away. I liked Ms. Nankani more than Mr. Adam. The pacing was good for both of them, and some of their voices were great, but others were only okay for […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 stars — Heartbreaking. Completely different from many paranormal-ish books I’ve been reading lately. Beautifully written — it jumps around in time a bit, but it’s the first time that I’ve actually enjoyed that in a book and found it appropriate b/c it adds something to the narrative at just the right times. […]
4 stars — Yeah, this worked for me. Like, I can see things that might not work for others, but it totally worked for me. And I think I was surprised, b/c of the whole BFF’s ex thing, but I was satisfied with how it played out for the most part. I get that Rachel […]
YOUR FRENCH KISSES: 4 stars — This was just cute. I really felt the connection between Marley and Reed, it really was magical and bittersweet. It was the perfect story for novella form, b/c we got a glimpse of the present, then the whole past story, then back to the present. It helped us invest […]
