4 stars — You know what? This was not as crazy and over the top as I’d been expecting. I think Max Monroe rides that line for me, where my secondhand embarrassment just gets to be too much, and in general this one survived my cringe test. I think part of what helped me enjoy […]
4 4.5 stars — If you’re a reader of my reviews, you know I’m suuuupppper picky about my enemies to lovers trope… And honestly? For the first 40-50% of this book I wasn’t sure if this one was going to work for me personally (like, I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t wowing me). But damn, […]
4 stars — Maybe even 4.5, still deciding. Poppy’s poop jokes and that kind of humour felt out of place. Don’t know why. I’m not opposed to that humour, it just didn’t fit for me. I LOVED Poppy’s quirks and generally sunny outlook. She was that strange mix of insecure and confident that I love […]
4.5 stars — There’s just something about a Cassie Mae book that gives me what I don’t get anywhere else. The characters are so unique and realistic and they just get to my heart. And they’re just so freaking adorable, I can’t even! I will admit, Tanner has made the book boyfriend list. I shouldn’t […]
4 stars — I started off listening to this one, but the audio just wasn’t capturing me and holding my attention as much, so I switched to reading and it was much smoother. I will admit it took me a bit to really connect with Holland. It’s funny, it’s like as a character she was […]
4.5 stars — You know what? This was the perfect book to kick off my holiday reading season. It was adorable and hilarious, with a good mix of heart and emotion. Julie and Gavin were just gold together. I loved the relationship they had as friends as the book starts, and ADORE the way their […]
3.5 stars — This book was up and down for me. There were elements that worked very very well, and there were elements that just didn’t for me. Basically, it was the ultimate mixed bag. The prologue sucked me in immediately and I felt a lot for both Reagan and Zac. The problem is that […]
4.5 stars — DUDES!!!! This book was so a Lenore book. Like, for realz, there was only one thing that was preventing this from being full 5 stars, and that just seriously makes me so happy. The funny thing is that I was worried!! I loved Conor in The Play. I read this blurb and […]
3.5 stars — *sigh* These books are super fast to gobble up, and I do enjoy that in some ways. But it does mean that, again, not a lot of time is given to certain plot points to really expand on the emotional impact. In this case it was Knox’s father, and Reese’s healing. Knox […]
3.5 stars — This is a case of a book being almost perfect for me, but failing to get out of its own way in certain areas. Like seriously, I know lots of people are tired of this trope, but I still gravitate towards it — so the book didn’t need to work very hard. […]
