5 stars — Well, I was thoroughly entertained! I always feel weird when I end a book and I’m like “5 stars!!!” Because in general I just don’t give them out very much, but I gotta go with my gut. Does that mean this book was flawless? Nope. But I seriously enjoyed myself that much. […]
3 stars — I was so excited for this book. 1) Guy knitters?? Yes please! My hubby is a sexy male knitter, so I’m all over that. 2) Look at that cover! 3) #ownvoices book with main characters of colour?? WOOP! But…well…I kinda had to push myself to finish this book, and if it hadn’t […]
4 stars — OMG, this one tested my second hand embarrassment tolerance to the highest degree. And like, not even that exactly, but just being so annoyed with a main character, and wanting them to do better and be better! I almost put it in the freezer…it was that bad. I actually got worried about […]
4 stars — I got exactly what I was looking for in this book: a cute YA royalty story, mixed in with a strong black heroine. While just by being a book written by a black woman, containing a black heroine, we got a look at everyday life…but race wasn’t the main issue in the […]
3.5 stars — This was a tricky book where there was a LOT to it, a lot of depth in parts, but there was enough disconnect from what I want personally (as a reader), that it may just not have been the best fit for me…if that makes any sense. I had a hard time […]
3.5 stars — I was excited for my first multi-cast audiobook, but I don’t think this is how it’s usually supposed to go, so it was a bit of a let down. There’s this giant list of narrators, but they didn’t consistently do their characters voice, if that makes sense. Like Mindy Kaling was the voice […]
4.5 stars — I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve been this emotionally impacted by a story. Daisy GOT to me. Like, I felt so hard for her, even despite the HUGE mistakes she was making all over the place. And it wasn’t just her, Trevor too! My poor hubby had to try to […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was a lot of crying. I mean, I know I’m a crier, but damn. Emily Zeller was fantastic as always as the narrator. Her voices were consistent even with the first book, and I basically just LOVE everything about how she narrates these books. I honestly can’t imagine consuming this […]
3.5 stars — Overall I was definitely entertained, but I wasn’t quite as sucked in as other books in this series. That might have just been me, and my mental state at the moment, it’s hard to tell these days. I also left this review as just notes for freaking ever, and now I’m too […]
4.5 stars — This was one of those ones that thoroughly entertained me, and as I wrote out my review, I just liked more. That’s actually kind of rare for me. I was surprised that it was just a male narrator for both POVs, but Mr. Paige did a great job — consistent voices, emotion, […]
