4.5 stars — I started off absolutely loving this one — it was everything I love in a Christina Lauren book: spunky heroine, sweet hero, moments of comedy, interesting and different characters (both main and secondary). And an interesting and unique premise. Even the push and pull between Lily and Leo was palpable — struggling with […]
3.5 stars — Callie was pretty hard to connect with for quite a bit of this book. Honestly, I would have rounded down, except that once I finally connected with her nearer to the end, I really appreciated how her fiery personality came out in a spirited sense of humour. And I think I laughed […]
4.5 stars — I love it when a book just hits. There were lots of little things that reminded me strongly of The Locker Room, but not so much that it felt like a regurgitated story — this one was all its own. It was just things like *how* Rusty struggled with his parents neglect…and […]
4.5 stars — Well colour me surprised!! I never would have guessed that Sofia’s book would challenge Willa/Jackson’s for top spot! And I genuinely don’t know if I could pick, I enjoyed them both for so many reasons. I really love the idea of taking a character that romance readers have been taught to dislike, […]
2.5 stars — If this hadn’t been a NetGalley ARC, I would have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book per say, but it is NOT a Lenore book. I am SUPER picky about my military books…and this one wouldn’t have made the cut. But this was from my early days of requesting when I […]
4.5 stars — This one just hit me in all the right spots. I loved that it was the perfect fat girl book for me, in that it was so realistic — a mix of struggles with being fat, and feeling positivity. I think I was in right from the author’s note at the start, b/c […]
3 stars — I’m not in the best reading mood, but all things considered I was hoping for more from this book. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, I probably would have DNF’d and moved on as it just wasn’t a match for me. The thing that disappointed me the most is that the characters […]
4 stars — I wasn’t sure how this book was going to play out, but I found 90% of it to be absolutely delightful, and I loved it! I’ll get to the other 10% later. I loved learning about yet more pieces of world history that I knew nothing about — in this case the Cuban […]
4 stars — This one had a fantastic start, I really enjoyed the unconventional relationship between Drew and Billie. You could feel the connection, even as they both hid behind their roles. Then it got kind of crazy, and I was not impressed with the high tempers of Drew and Billie. Thank goodness for Alanza […]
4.5 stars — Well that was fucking delightful. It brought me back to when I first discovered romance books, and how easy it was to fall in love with characters and a romance. Mariah had so many elements of my favourite kinds of heroines, and I absolutely adored her. I ached for what she went […]
