DNF @ 38% — I was really excited for this one, since a) it was recommended by blogs I follow; and b) I LOVE the sport of swimming. Unfortunately I was turned off almost immediately by the inclusion of a ridiculously over the top and horrific secondary character, Bellini. I’m assuming she is modeled after […]
3.75 stars — I had a hard time deciding on my rating for this one, b/c while I thoroughly enjoyed a LOT of this book, I was also annoyed with our characters sometimes…mostly Freddie. He put Andie in some really tough positions, without thinking about the impact to her. Honestly, it felt out of character for […]
4.5 stars — OMG, I think this author is a match for me!! I love her sense of humour, her characters are just sassy and fun and remind me of people I love! I also couldn’t help but think of the one chick from the Traveling Pants movie…not sure if that was inspiration, or just […]
5 stars — OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! I’m not good at doing the serial thing (I have ZERO patience), so I waited until this one was complete to dive in, and then I gobbled it up in an evening. IT WAS BOTH TOO SHORT AND PERFECT!!! I LOVED Pepe and Josephine!!! But especially Pepe!! What a sweet, romantic […]
Favorite Quotes: He hates this as much as you do, my conscience whispers. Fuck off, conscience. I’m having a pity party, here. My parents are in PFLAG and everything.” “Cool,” I say, although I’m not exactly sure what that means. I’m, like, the worst queer dude ever. Somebody pass me the manual. I finished another […]
4 stars — I loved so much about this book, especially the characters and the amount of emotion I felt. Like, I can’t even begin to describe to you how much this book made me feel. And honestly, I would have rated this book even higher, but there were a few things about the writing […]
3.5 stars — Phew! This one still had me wobbly on a few things, but the fact that I started reading it when I went to bed and stayed up until 4am to finish it speaks pretty strongly to it being compelling, donchathink? 😉 Seriously though, I could not put this one down. So despite […]
3 stars — Well shoot. I can honestly say that I didn’t have as much success with this book. While there were things that I enjoyed, there were just too many other things that bugged me for it to be an enjoyable overall read. I’ll try not to get too ranty, but I do want […]
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 actually most looking forward to Tucker’s story, and while I loved it, it didn’t end up being my favourite. Weird how that works right? Now as I fully anticipated, I LOVED Tucker. Like LOVE LOVED him. He was everything I was hoping for and more. I adored how he was […]
