4.5 stars — I’m having a hell of a time writing this review, and it’s not because I didn’t love it…probably the cause is the opposite. I truly LOVED it and yet I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts in order. This book was gritty. Emotional. REAL. I felt all the things for both […]
Favorite Quotes: It’s the most she’s said to me since that night, and I bask in her voice, in her words, one after the other, and I wish she were holding me like she did in the tunnel because her touch is like oil, and my pain is the water. She creates a divide when […]
4.5 stars — I don’t know what it was about this book, but it was just a Lenore book, you know? Like apparently it had all the right combination of things to just be perfect for this particular reader. It’s funny how that happens eh? Especially because it can be so hard to articulate what those […]
4 stars — I was so intrigued by Justin’s character in The Fine Art of Pretending, and I was so happy with the story we got for him! There was a lot to it, and I appreciated all the little nuances. Justin was EVERYTHING. I mean, he was a straight up asshole for what he […]
5 stars — OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! I have a weakness for celebrity romances, which seems fitting given our blog name. And this one was done up just perfectly for my tastes!! It hit all the buttons that I love, and I ended it hugely satisfied! Well, if I’m being frank, I was bummed when […]
3.5 stars — Hmmm…I was a bit…bored? Bummer actually. I really enjoyed the guilty pleasure of this series, but I felt like things could have been tightened up in this book. I found myself wanting to skim and just get to parts where the plot was moving forward. I think part of that is because […]
4 stars — Oh ho ho!!! I see what you did there Ms. Watt (or however I address a pen name that encompasses two people)! I actually had little suspicions about the FINAL FINAL cliffhanger twist when I was reading Paper Princess, but then I kind of forgot. This is fun!! I truly feel like […]
4.5 stars — Well shiiiiit. This was one of those super popular series that EVERYONE LOVED, and so automatically I become leery and assume I’m going to be the black sheep. NOPE!! Apparently my tastes align with the masses, WOOHOO!! I think different readers will get different things out of it, and I’m sure it […]
3.5 stars — Well. Huh. I can’t decide if Ms. Douglas is an author for me. Her books simultaneously suck me in and intrigue me, and make me feel really uncomfortable. And this book followed that trend. Honestly, it was kind of fucked up. But there were parts I just loved. So I always end […]
4 stars — Wow. Again, why don’t I read more science fiction?? I would have missed out on this gem if I wasn’t determined to stretch myself this year! OK, before I get going on my review, I just wanted to note that I would call this book mature YA rather than just normal YA. […]
