4 stars — I was a little worried about how I would tolerate the more serious topics in this story, and if I was in the right mood for that. But I thought there was a pretty good balance, and honestly? I got sucked in to Mattie and Logan’s story. And I kind of loved […]
4 stars — I will admit that the main reason I picked up this book is because Mary Jane Wells is the narrator. That won’t completely sell me on a book, but it’ll have me giving it a second look. And it sounded a bit different, a bit out of the ordinary for a historical […]
4 stars — I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book given that the heroine initially has feelings for someone else. And while I definitely struggled with the whole prolonged misunderstandings/lack of communication thing at the end, it was still just a really fun and adorable book. I loved how absolutely nerdy […]
3.5 stars — I was absolutely sucked into this one from the beginning, but I’m not sure if my mood changed and affected the reading, or if the story truly just didn’t keep the same pace. That’s the frustrating thing — am I distracted b/c the book isn’t holding my attention, or is the book […]
4.5 stars — This one had so many unbelievably cute moments in it, and it was balanced perfectly by depth of character, and all those challenges so many of us deal with as adults. I loved how unique and REAL both of our MCs were. They weren’t perfect cookie cutter romance heroines, they were so […]
4 stars — This one was a hard read for me. Part of me is waffling over 3.5 stars rounded up, but I honestly can’t decide. It doesn’t help that I read it while sick, which I honestly think just taints a read just a bit, you know? You’re foggier and all that. So why […]
4 stars — This book could have been a rounded up to 4.5 or even full 5 stars if it was trimmed by at least 25%. Honestly, I just got frustrated. Miscommunication is one of my least favourite tropes, but for a time I actually got it with Jacob and Briana — it made sense […]
5 stars — Wow. Just, this was more than everything I was looking for in a book, and I loved it from start to finish. Sometimes I find 5 star reviews the hardest to write, because there’s so much I feel, but I don’t want to spoil anything and I feel weird just absurdly gushing, […]
DNF @14% — When it’s been 11 days, and you’ve only made it a few chapters in, it’s time to call it. I was really interested in the anxiety rep for this book, and the own voices in general. And, so far, the anxiety rep looked really solid. My problem is I just wasn’t interested […]
3.5 stars — This was fairly different from most books I read, most especially for the lack of romance…but that seems to be the picks I gravitate to for my hubby buddy reads. And this was a book club book…for June, but whatever, so I’m a wee bit late. 😛 I definitely enjoyed it, though […]
