The Wife Upstairs

The Wife Upstairs

Review #594 The Wife Upstairs slipped by my notice since there’s another title by the same name but written by a different author in the same genre.  I had soooo many theories in the beginning so I can’t say I guessed correctly lol.  The diary was a great...

I Want You Gone

I Want You Gone

Review #593 I binged this audio in 48 hours and enjoyed painting while listening. I gave it a 3.9/5 stars. There was one narrator which held consistency. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a huge fan of most of the characters. The main heroine acted like a “victim” too far into...

The Anatomy of Us

The Anatomy of Us

Review #592 This is one of the first audiobooks I’ve rated low and don’t feel guilty about it. Because it’s not that it was bad in any way. I just didn’t personally like it. I didn’t like the characters or their choices. I didn’t like the theme of depression and lies....

Fearless

Fearless

Review #591 I had a strange love/hate relationship with this YA fantasy romance trilogy. It took me 28 days to read all 3 which is crazy long for me. The writing is definitely angsty and reminded me of the Shatter Me series author. I’ll give this third book a 4.4/5...

DNF- A Soul to Heal

DNF- A Soul to Heal

I loved plus sized representation, authors note about Australian dialect and the very specific trigger warning pages. Unfortunately I can’t get into third person narrative easily anymore. And this one was also confusing because it jumped to first person narrative for...

Better Luck Next Time

Better Luck Next Time

Review #590 This audiobook is unique because its dialogue only. With an entire soundtrack it feels like listening to a movie, especially with such animated voice actors and background noises. I gave it a 4.5/5 stars. Sometimes the constant intense bickering felt...

Secret Sister

Secret Sister

Review #589 This thriller audio had many points of views/narrators. The background noises were quite random and actually startled me at times when a random door would slam or a phone would ring. Anyways I rate this a solid 4.25/5 stars. It was addictive so I binged it...

Love, Rebooted

Love, Rebooted

Review #588 I gave this audio romcom a 4.1/5 stars. I’d recommend reading if you like rivals in work romance & 2nd chance trope. It was easy to listen to and I enjoyed their accents. I think they could’ve come up with a better title. But it’s fine. In the...

Once Upon a Crime

Once Upon a Crime

Review #587 I listened to this audio because it was free and had a cute cover. In the beginning I almost stopped it because of the plausibility of a bunch of details didn’t feel realistic but I stuck with it. Overall I gave this standalone romcom a solid 4.5/5 stars....

Reckless

Reckless

Review #586 So I went back and forth with how infuriated I was with the characters for loving or hating this book but I’m pretty sure I’m ending on a positive note with 4.7/5 stars. Yes the characters were miserably annoying at times but … ugh. I’ve never annotated a...

The Best Wrong Move

The Best Wrong Move

review #585 I picked this because it was a free option on Audible and rated it a 4.0/5 stars. It had two points of view but one narrator. I wasn’t thrilled with how the narrator did the intonation of the guy’s personality and vibe. This romcom by Lily Parker only had...

The Final Wife

The Final Wife

Review #584 This audio thriller kept me intrigued the whole time to learn who dunnit. I’ll give it a 4.25/5 stars. The culture/high class society they live in was obnoxious and so many cheating liars was ridiculous but I enjoyed it the whole time. I’m so glad it had a...

Powerless

Powerless

Review #583 “He’s looking at me like one would a painting- drinking in every detail, delighting in its originality, deeming it a work of art.”  Powerless gets a strong 4.4/5 stars. I would’ve given it higher if Hunger Games didn’t exist prior. It has two...

DNF- My Pigeon Familiar

DNF- My Pigeon Familiar

It’s my fault I tried this on audio because whenever world building is involved within fantasy I can’t retain anything when it’s auditory processing. I can usually only listen to romance or thrillers. In saying that, there was also a LOT of telling instead of...

Great Big Beautiful Life

Great Big Beautiful Life

Review #582 Great Big Beautiful Life was much different than I expected. This should’ve been marketed as a women’s lit or literary fiction with a different type of cover. It was unlike her other books and not a typical romcom style.  I listened to it on audio and...
