4.5 stars — I’ve been looking forward to this one since it came out, but you know how sometimes you’re so excited for something that you start to worry that you’ve hyped yourself up too much, and it can’t possibly do anything but disappoint you? That’s how I started to feel about this book. So […]
3 stars — This one ended up just being OK for me. It had some great moments, and it had a lot of moments that frustrated me or made me want to shake my head. And honestly? By the time I got to the end, I wasn’t feeling super satisfied. I will note that from […]
4 stars — Earlier in the year I read book 1 in this series and really enjoyed it, despite it being very different from YAs I usually read. And so I was excited to see another book set in the town of Juniper Falls. And this one was similarly engaging and yet SOOOOO different!! Honestly, […]
4 stars — First of all, can I just say how happy I am that this exists at all? I was so bummed when this series was discontinued without getting Elizabeth and Jane’s stories, so having even just this little bit to give me closure was such a gift for a fan like me. (also […]
4 stars — I had a bit of a harder time getting sucked into this one, but I can’t figure out if that had more to do with me and my frazzled mind, or the book… That’s always the kicker eh? Which, obviously if I still gave it 4 stars, does not mean the book […]
3.5 stars — I enjoyed this one, but to be truthful it just made me want to reread The Locker Room (which I did…review coming soon). I liked both Skipper and Richie, but they did feel a bit young…but that could be just the nature of these two characters. They did feel authentic though, that wasn’t […]
4 stars — Well this was a fun sequel! I loved being back in the Dance Off world and finding out what was happening with Natasha, but the fun thing was that this was a completely different story to the first one! It may have been set in the same world, but it wasn’t during […]
4 stars — I was so happy to read this one so soon after The Trouble with Mistletoe, because I was so intrigued by Rory and Max in that story…you could really feel the undercurrents between them. And so I got almost immediate gratification in this little novella. And other than one tiny little thing […]
4 stars — OK, I adore Ms. Bowen, and writing with Ms. Eby obviously brought out another side to her!! I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this one, b/c I’m not actually that attracted to those outrageous humour books that I see so many people love. I have a bad case of sympathetic […]
3.5 stars — I’ve been wanting to read this one since it came out last year, and was so excited when I snagged a copy on sale (not to mention a paperback copy). It was definitely a delightful Christmas romance, but it started stronger than it finished for me. My one major problem with the […]
