4.5 stars — Wow. This was everything I didn’t know I was needing. I found myself smiling in absolute delight about a gagillion times in this book, and that was just…perfection. The funny thing is, there wasn’t some epic adventure in this story. It was just this delightful tale of characters trying to be something […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Mostly pretty solid stories, with a few standouts! BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE by Kimberly Kincaid 3.25 stars — Solid, just didn’t blow me away. It just felt short, but that can happen with short stories. PLANES, TRAINS AND HEAD OVER HEELS by Erika Kelly 3.75 stars — Started off a bit […]
3.5 stars — This one was solid, I think I was just slightly disappointed by the time jumps…it made the story feel shorter somehow. I loved how determined and adventurous Stella was, with everything but her heart. But seeing the glimpses into the past, I could totally see how she fell in love, and wasn’t […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I enjoyed, but the frustration with certain things was strong my friends! Loved Ms. Wells’s accents, it really added to the character of Nève when she was speaking. Occasionally I’m not sure if I would have read certain passages differently, and maybe would have warmed up to […]
4.5 stars — I wholeheartedly enjoyed this book even more than her debut novel, it just seemed to hit the right spots with me. I both listened and read this book, and the narrator was not bad, but made weird choices sometimes. I found I just preferred to read it myself, purely personal taste. Bee […]
4.5 stars — Well I was sucked in right from start to finish! I don’t know if it was because Emma Wilder did such a great job narrating, and I could listen to her Liam for hours on end, or if the story was just that absorbing…so we’ll go with both. Obviously loved the narrator. […]
4.5 stars — Why is this series so freaking addictive?? SERIOUSLY, WHY?? God I love that. I pick it up, and I just want to keep reading. Which of course just makes it that much harder to wait (im)patiently for part two…but I will do what I must. Andie was a super intriguing heroine! She […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — I don’t know why (though I’m sure if I really thought about it I could figure it out), but I truly LOVE books where one of the characters feels they have some physical flaw that makes them not fit for society or something…that’s not exactly what I mean, but you […]
3.5 stars — I was surprised by how much of the book took us into the past with Mari and T’Chai. I wasn’t sad about that, I wanted to know how their relationship developed, but I guess it was probably just a scootch more than felt necessary to me. Especially given the time jump in […]
4.5 stars — Well damn, that was devourable. Callie was this interesting mix of brave and cautious. There were so many moments where I appreciated her willingness to put herself out there and try things before writing them off. But she had her moments of caution as well, especially when it came to her daughter’s […]
