3.5 stars — I will admit, this one did not start off with a bang for me. I was kind of disappointed in the writing (felt a bit simplistic), and I wasn’t getting captured by our characters. I pushed through because it was an older NetGalley, and I’m really glad I did, b/c about 1/3 […]
4.5 stars — This was a great final book in the trilogy! I felt like all the loose ends were wrapped up in a super satisfying way for the overarching storyline, and the mysteries in this one kept me just as enthralled and hooked. Unfortunately I see a huge book hangover in the future, which […]
4.5 stars — These books just know how to hook me and keep me both laughing and crying…a surprising amount of crying in this one…at least for me. Honestly, the only thing keeping me from rounding up is my frustration with Sunshine. As with another series I’ve read by this author, she likes to make […]
4.5 stars — Welp, can confirm: I truly love Ms. Jones’s wacky brand of humour. I don’t always get all the jokes, but I love the way the characters tease each other mercilessly in her books. I wasn’t expecting this book to be told in relatively equal parts between Sunshine and her daughter Auri, but […]
4 stars — This was a solid YA contemporary, dealing with grief, body image issues, new relationships, and just the basics of being a teenager and all the normal angst that inspires. I really enjoyed Maddie, and she felt very real in so many ways. It was so hard to read about the way she […]
3.5 stars — I absolutely loved the ace representation in this book, even if it isn’t the same flavour as what I experience. There were many moments where I understood what Alice was feeling, and I both hurt for her and was annoyed with her. On the surface, I feel like I totally should have […]
3.5 stars — I will admit, I read some friends reviews for this book and went in prepared to be annoyed and frustrated, and so I think I was better able to just gloss over the cliché plot aspects, and bad decisions by some characters because I was expecting them. It’s weird how that works […]
4 stars — That’s what I call a solid romance novella. The perfect amount to draw me in, but still leave me satisfied in the end. These two narrators were new to me, and I must admit I think I have a girl crush on Ms. Siobhan now. I’ll definitely be looking for more from […]
3.5 stars — Well shit, picky Lenore strikes again. I wonder if it didn’t help that I had such high expectations for this book, since everyone I know really loved it and was wowed by it, but it just fell short for me unfortunately. Which is not to say it was a bad book, it […]
4.5 stars — This book surprised me in the best possible ways, and I made the mistake of starting it before bed, which consequently had me up until almost 2am reading. A previous Lenore wouldn’t have been able to put it down even then, but I’m getting old people… I thought I knew what I […]
