3.5 stars — I absolutely loved the ace representation in this book, even if it isn’t the same flavour as what I experience. There were many moments where I understood what Alice was feeling, and I both hurt for her and was annoyed with her. On the surface, I feel like I totally should have […]
4 stars — That’s what I call a solid romance novella. The perfect amount to draw me in, but still leave me satisfied in the end. These two narrators were new to me, and I must admit I think I have a girl crush on Ms. Siobhan now. I’ll definitely be looking for more from […]
3.5 stars — Despite being absolutely thrilled to have a heroine with *almost* my first name, I was a bit taken aback by the start of the book. We’re definitely thrust into a dystopian nightmare and a trigger scenario (warning). And while I am definitely intrigued by this bizarre world that Ms. Wright set up, […]
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 […]
5 stars — Wow. I don’t think I knew I needed this book, but I 100% needed this book. It didn’t even have the most prominent romance, but what I got more than satisfied me! There was just something magical, in so many senses of the word, in this story and these characters. It made […]
4.5 stars — This one just hit me in all the right spots. I loved that it was the perfect fat girl book for me, in that it was so realistic — a mix of struggles with being fat, and feeling positivity. I think I was in right from the author’s note at the start, b/c […]
3 stars — I’m not in the best reading mood, but all things considered I was hoping for more from this book. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, I probably would have DNF’d and moved on as it just wasn’t a match for me. The thing that disappointed me the most is that the characters […]
4 stars — I wasn’t sure how this book was going to play out, but I found 90% of it to be absolutely delightful, and I loved it! I’ll get to the other 10% later. I loved learning about yet more pieces of world history that I knew nothing about — in this case the Cuban […]
3.5 stars — I definitely laughed out loud, and even groaned on more than one occasion. Josh does a pretty good job of narrating the book himself, which makes sense since he’s a motivational speaker…it would likely give him a leg up. Pun unintended, but still funny. I definitely enjoyed his earlier stories, and it totally […]
4 stars — This one had a fantastic start, I really enjoyed the unconventional relationship between Drew and Billie. You could feel the connection, even as they both hid behind their roles. Then it got kind of crazy, and I was not impressed with the high tempers of Drew and Billie. Thank goodness for Alanza […]
