3.5 stars — I thought I would like this one more than I did, but I was disappointed that Sam never really had plans to open up to anyone else, especially Steph…course, that might change after the book takes place, but I’m still bummed. Sam had a LOT going on with her, and having never […]
3.5 stars — This was fairly different from most books I read, most especially for the lack of romance…but that seems to be the picks I gravitate to for my hubby buddy reads. And this was a book club book…for June, but whatever, so I’m a wee bit late. 😛 I definitely enjoyed it, though […]
2.5 stars — Well huh. That was pretty underwhelming for me. Like, it was okay, but I wasn’t compelled. There were definitely strong points, but there were also a lot of things that didn’t work for me. I both read and listened to this one. I’ve listened to Mr. Summerer before, and in general I […]
3.5 stars — I definitely enjoyed this one, but man Lydia was hard for me to connect with. I think I had a hard time making the connection that she saw Jonas’s attentions and sweet words as reminders of *false* sweet words she got from another. But since I kept forgetting that, her reactions would […]
3.5 stars — If you’ve missed the Hashtag series, and want something extremely similar, then you are going to love this story. While for me it didn’t have the same connections and chemistry as #Nerd, it was still entertaining. NOTE: if you have triggers, please please search out trigger warnings for this book (there is […]
3.5 stars — If you have triggers, definitely check out trigger warnings for this book. I will admit, I found this book very confusing…not sure if it was my frame of mind, or the book, but there were definite moments where I had a hard time following Violet’s thoughts and actions. I will also note […]
4 stars — This one will be hard to review. There were so many parts that had me smiling away and feeling delighted. There were other parts that got to my heart and had me hurting with Viola and Gracewood. And there were yet other parts where things felt…confusing. But that could have been just me. […]
3 stars — Wow, I really have changed. I know I read this, and kept it last time. It wasn’t bad, and I’m wavering about going with 3.5 stars, but I’m in a bad mood, so this is what you get. In some ways it was a very typical Presents. Arrogant, kind of a dick […]
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 […]
