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 […]
4 stars — This was a strange one for me, b/c I loved both Luca and Abby’s individual stories, and their eventual together story, but it took me a bit to be invested in their romance…but I was still satisfied in the end. I was so intrigued by Luca and his situation when we met […]
3.5 stars — I think I wanted this one to be a 5 star so badly, but it just wasn’t. The beginning was SO STRONG. I absolutely adored Part One of the book, it sucked me in and made me feel and I was invested in Ellie & Grey. But I felt like part two didn’t […]
5 stars — Oh dude, this one just hit ALL the right buttons for me. Dancing? Check. Nerdy heroine? Check. Sweet hero? Check. SOLD! to Lenore!!! OK, seriously though. It took me a bit to warm up to Lily, but once I did…oh wow, I just thought she was sassy and hilarious and conflicted and […]
3 stars — This one sucked me in practically right from the start, and I couldn’t put it down. It was just easy to read and compelling. But as we got to know the characters more and more, I realized I didn’t like either of them that much, and I started losing patience with their […]
5 stars — It takes a lot to get full 5 stars from me nowadays. 4.5 rounded up? Not as much, but full 5 stars? Yeah…I’m a bit stingy with those. But this book. This book just kind of burrowed into my heart and stayed there. It’s the kind of book that had me thinking […]
4.5 stars — OK, wow, this book went in places I wasn’t anticipating at all. And while I don’t want to spoil things, I will warn that if you have problems with people in porn or the sex industry, then you should steer clear. So while I was surprised what subjects this book tackled, I […]
4 stars — I started this one late at night, and I had a HELL of a time putting it down, I was definitely compelled by the story and characters! I feel like there were pieces of this story that shined brilliantly, but also some bits that felt somewhat disjointed near the end… It was […]
3.5 stars — This was a very hard book to read at times…one that brought out a lot of emotions for me. LOTS of feels for sure (some “trying to be quiet because my husband’s sleeping” bawling too), but also frustration. Teenagers are SO FRUSTRATING!! Which basically means that Nicole was very authentic to me. […]
4.5 stars — Please excuse me while I attempt to recover…. *weeps silently* OK, that probably gives an inaccurate vibe of the book…it has sad parts, but it’s not overall a sad book. I am just a ridiculously weepy person, so I’m quick to bawling. I must say, this is my second time reading this […]
