4 stars — I will admit that the main reason I picked up this book is because Mary Jane Wells is the narrator. That won’t completely sell me on a book, but it’ll have me giving it a second look. And it sounded a bit different, a bit out of the ordinary for a historical […]
4.5 stars — Wow, there was a lot in this one. Like, it was kind of angstier than I usually read, and yet I really enjoyed it. I was sucked in almost from the very start. There was just a connection between Ruben and Zach that made me smile. And I was so intrigued by this […]
2.5 stars — Well, that was a bit of a disappointment. Honestly, if I wasn’t reading it for a challenge, I might have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book, but it is kinda boring, and needless to say I was NOT compelled. Here’s the thing: Shelby seems like she should be a fucking badass […]
4.5 stars — Well this book lived up to the spookiness I was looking for without traumatizing me! Yay! I switched between reading and listening to this one, because while I LOVED Mr. Williams narration, honestly it scared me a bit more listening than reading and I just couldn’t paralyze myself in bed at night. […]
4 stars — This one was hard to read. It felt realistic though. It’s just that Hannah was *really* hard to like in this one. But it really showed how alcoholism can alter who a person is, so much so that even they don’t recognize themselves. I really appreciated that Hannah didn’t just turn around […]
4.5 stars — Wow, this book was an intense rollercoaster ride. And I mean that in more than one way. The book started off solidly, I was pretty hooked and intrigued. Then I had some…concerns and my interest was kinda conditional (I’ll get there). BUT!!! Then the plot fucking took off and I was all […]
4.5 stars — Wow. This was exactly the kind of rockstar romance I was really looking forward to. There was a rawness about it that just had me desperate to find out how things were going to turn out. But it was married with a sass and humour that I’ve come to know and love […]
4 stars — This book is totally outside of what I normally read, so I think I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I definitely enjoyed Graham Halstead as the voice of Jamie — his narration was solid, and I’ve enjoyed him in the past. His pacing was great, his voices were solid, […]
4.5 stars — OK, I was totally not expecting a Phantom of the Opera retelling!! That delighted me. I don’t know if it’s bad to ruin that, because it occurred to me slowly, more and more, as the book went on…but then again, it could bring people to the book who might not have taken […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I truly enjoyed about this story, but also a few things that were a bit meh. I actually genuinely liked both Eilish and Bryan on the whole. They were characters that had both made mistakes or rather were living with the consequences of their decisions. The problem is […]
