4.5 stars — For a first foray into young adult, Ms. Bowen really nailed the feel of it — I ADORED IT!!! I loved all the different struggles we got to experience with Rachel. From navigating through her grief, adjusting to a father she’s never met, friendships that change and grow, and first love, it […]
4.5 stars — I’m having a hell of a time writing this review, and it’s not because I didn’t love it…probably the cause is the opposite. I truly LOVED it and yet I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts in order. This book was gritty. Emotional. REAL. I felt all the things for both […]
4.5 stars — Oh Ian….Ian was totally the star of this book for me. Not saying I didn’t love Hallie too, but my heart was totally taken in by Ian. Taken in and broken by him…seriously my heart just ached for what he struggled with. And it’s not as though my heart wasn’t aching for […]
3 stars — This one was more light on the romance, focused more heavily on the plot and mystery surrounding Alaina’s brother’s death. I was enjoying the mystery for the first half, but unfortunately I kept wondering about certain things, and I couldn’t get out of my own head. I was still fully entrenched in my […]
3.5 stars — This one started off really strong, I was loving how Tierney and Burr met and how their relationship developed. But somewhere along the way, my mood changed and it became harder to concentrate on this book. I’m not convinced it was the book in this case, more like I was just too […]
3 stars — This one started off really strong. I loved the story behind it, hence why I requested it (even though I haven’t yet read a book by Ms. Daws). And it was so cute and funny, and I was enjoying the characters and laughing out loud at the start! At least a 4 […]
4 stars — I’m not a big reader of suspense, but when one of your favourite authors delves into the genre, you follow, you know? And I loved the suspense elements of this story, they hit it just right for me. And not just the suspense, the mystery was intriguing too. And even though I […]
3.5 stars — I love this author, but I had a hell of a time staying engaged in this book. I honestly can’t tell if it was my mood, or the book, or perhaps a mix of the two (the book exacerbated by my mood). I would find my mind wandering constantly, and I would have […]
4.5 stars — As a huge fan of Ms. Regnery’s Blueberry Lane series of series, and one of the readers saddened that that series was ending, this felt a bit like coming home. It’s not that this was a reiteration of that series, but it had the same feel and flow to it, the same […]
4.5 stars — A friend told me I was going to fall in love with Spencer, and boy was she ever right!! But it wasn’t just Spencer, I loved Abby too!! My absolute favourite books always have two great characters that I love. I already loved Abby a bit from the previous two books, but […]
