4 stars — The humour on this one sucked me in practically from the first page and was picture Lenore perfect right to the end. The snarky wise-cracking between Dephne and Annette was just *mwah* perfection. If I hadn’t listened to most of it, I probably would have highlighted a whole schwakload of their banter, […]
3 stars — Huh. I remember loving the first book, but this one felt like it was missing something. I almost DNF’d it because it just wasn’t pulling me in, but I really wanted to finish another series for my challenge, and it was only 200 pages… Honestly, the characters had some great moments/qualities, but […]
OVERALL: 3 stars — I started reading this anthology in September of *2017*. I read a few, then set it aside. Then I’d read a story, then set it aside. There were a few good ones, but not as many as I’d probably like in an anthology. A LOT of the stories were more fan […]
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 […]
2.5 stars — Well huh. That was pretty underwhelming for me. Like, it was okay, but I wasn’t compelled. There were definitely strong points, but there were also a lot of things that didn’t work for me. I both read and listened to this one. I’ve listened to Mr. Summerer before, and in general I […]
4.5 stars — Man, I love this series. I love that I can always count on Ms. Blake to give me all the eccentric townspeople, all the truly good and caring friends, and new people to learn to love. As with any series, I always end up having my favourites, but no matter what I’m […]
3.5 stars — I was worried about starting this book, b/c I was getting over COVID and I didn’t want my brain fog to ruin my reading experience, you know? But I should have trusted Ms. Bowen more, she seems to be able to cut through so much of that and always suck me in. Vera […]
3.5 stars — If you’ve missed the Hashtag series, and want something extremely similar, then you are going to love this story. While for me it didn’t have the same connections and chemistry as #Nerd, it was still entertaining. NOTE: if you have triggers, please please search out trigger warnings for this book (there is […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — Huh. It was okay. I wasn’t blown away. I wasn’t expecting the little bit of OM stuff at the beginning, but it didn’t last long at least. And honestly? I liked our mains, but I wasn’t like in love with either of them. I get that a big part of this story […]
