Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez

Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez

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 […]

The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise Williams

The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise Williams

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 […]

Homecoming King by Penny Reid

Homecoming King by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — This review is going to be a bit all over the place…it happens sometimes, and sometimes it’s just too hard to wrangle my brain in order, so I leave it. Abby delighted me.  She was wonderfully quirky and odd. I wish this story had been dual POV, but I suppose I can […]

Approximately Yours by Julie Hammerle

3.5 stars — Bummer.  This one started off really strong and I stayed up late reading it the first night.  But then I got tired of the schtik of the plot, and I just wanted things to be cleared up.  Ah well. This had a bit of a Cyrano de Bergerac retelling feel to it […]

Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate

Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate

4.5 stars — This was a FANTASTIC new addition to this series!!  I did read Stud Muffin before this one, and while I’m personally glad I did, you wholeheartedly could read this one as a standalone without missing anything. Frankie was such an intriguing heroine!  She was SO CLOSED OFF it was insane!  But for […]

Stud Muffin by Jiffy Kate

Stud Muffin by Jiffy Kate

4.5 stars — Dudes, this book just gave me EVERYTHING!  I felt the emotions, I laughed out loud too many times to count, and hooowwweeee did I feel the chemistry between Tempest and Cage! I’m not sure if listening made it even better, but I adored our narrators.  Mr. Brinkley’s Cage was sexy AF, and […]
