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 […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, isn’t it weird how you don’t know you’ve missed something until you get it again? I really love the way this duo writes together. I don’t even know how to describe what it is about their writing, but it’s just seamless. And you get the best of both writers. And OMG, […]
4.5 stars — This book, and this series, has been on my radar for awhile, and I’m so glad I finally dove in (even if I did dive in on book 3 instead of book 1). It just hit a lot of my buttons, and gave me a new favourite book boy to put on […]
Favorite Quotes: I have plans to sleep in, read an endless number of books, and soak for hours in the outdoor hot tub under the stars. In between all that, I intend to do some yoga, bake, snowshoe, and simply enjoy the peace and solitude that being in the middle of the woods brings. “And […]
OVERALL: 3.75 stars — As with all anthologies, there’s going to be ones that connect, and ones that don’t (because as readers, we all gravitate towards different things). This one was fairly solid though. There were 2 that I almost DNF’d, but pushed through and was happy I did (even if I still didn’t enjoy […]
4.5 stars — This is probably going to be a short review, b/c I can’t seem to find my words today! Sometimes the brain just doesn’t want to cooperate you know?? Plus, this book was short and fun, sometimes there’s just not much to dissect! Both Sean and Justin were very likable characters. I love […]
3.5 stars — This was a diverse read that felt like it was there for more than just face value. We weren’t just told that Rabi was Muslim and Pakistani, we got to see a bit of his life and some of his traditions (such as prayer on Fridays). I really appreciated that. Sometimes I […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — As with all anthologies, there are going to be hits and misses. I actually expect that, because I don’t match up with every author. Sometimes there are more misses than hits. This one had a pretty good balance actually. I think only 1 or 2 really missed. And for the ones […]
2.5 stars — This one had a lot of potential, but in the end I’m wondering if I should have DNF’d it. This was an ARC that I hadn’t gotten to 2 years ago, so obviously I realize it’s not the final copy. As such, I’m fine ignoring the typos and assuming those got fixed. […]
