3.5 stars — Well….this book left me with very dichotomous feelings. There were aspects of the book that were soaring 5 stars…and there were aspects of the book that just *didn’t* work for me. In the end I’ll round up because the good parts really impacted me, but it wasn’t a slam dunk hit by […]
DNF @ chapter 10 (2 hours in): This one just wasn’t for me, for a few different reasons. It was seriously overly sweet in my opinion, or at least up until this point…like toothache sweet. There wasn’t a lot of conflict, which apparently I need something to keep me tuning in. And it wasn’t just […]
ON REREAD: 4 stars — I’m finally attempting to finish the Knitting in the City series this year, and have decided to do so through audiobooks. I’d already read this one, but wanted to reread to fit it into context, and also to see how it fares in audio! I found that my opinions were […]
ON REREAD: 3 stars — You know, I didn’t want to reread this book…or rather, I was afraid to reread it. It was like some part of me knew that I was a different person, and so I wouldn’t read the book the same way. And that little part of me was right on the […]
3.5 stars — Well, this one left me supah mixed. There is so much I LOVE about these stories, even as they’re totally over the top sometimes. I think this series is maybe even more over the top than Ms. Reid’s Winston Brothers series, but that probably comes down to the reveal of who Alex […]
5 stars — Welp, it’s official. I think I have a new favourite Sarina Bowen hero. Also, this book was amazeballs. Silas is….SWOONTASTIC. He is everything I LOVE in a fictional book boy. He’s got some major beta boy vibes going on, though I suppose he’s a bit more gamma…but I’m gonna group him as […]
4 stars — I was really sucked in to the beginning of this story and didn’t want to put it down, which of course made for a very late night of “one more chapter” before I finally couldn’t keep my eyes open. Still haven’t learned the “don’t start a book at bedtime” lesson. Holy cow […]
4.5 stars — I haven’t read a lot of F/F (or really many of the other flavours of LGBT besides G), and I’ve been wanting to expand my diversity reading. So I was so excited when I saw the blurb for this one and it sounded so good! You could tell it was own voices because […]
3.5 stars — Oh you guys. Yet again I wrote notes for this review a few weeks ago, and then promptly kept not getting back to it. I need to stop doing that, it just doesn’t work for my brain. So if this review is weird, you’ve been warned. Narrator: OMG, Devra Woodward’s Nico voice […]
3.5 stars — This was a VERY hard book for me to rate. Honestly, if it hadn’t been an ARC, and I hadn’t been worried my slump was affecting my enjoyment, I might have DNF’d it. The first half of this book did NOT work for me. I couldn’t connect with either main character. The […]
