Reviews of my Reading List
DNF- Nero
This audiobook was a fast burn/traumatized virgin trope with obsessed mafia stalker guy and it wasn’t my thing. Are there are darker contemporary romances out there that are slow burn?
Hello Stranger
Review #596 My friend gifted me this one and I’m in love. Because of its uniqueness and how much I loved the heroine and her artsy ways, I give this a 4.9/5 stars. Joe could’ve been a bit more dynamic which is why it lost the .1 Yes, the plot twist was predictable but...
DNF- The Quit List
I tried this on audio and didn’t like either of the narrator voices. the female character also seemed annoying in personality. I was intrigued about their meet cute potential but didn’t make it that far so I can’t really write a review.
Recipe for Rivals
Review #595 3.75/5 on audio Not my favorite I’m glad the characters had depth and some family drama and weren’t 18 but full fledge adults. Leia the cat was superb & obviously I love a hot fireman But this book was a bit boring, dragged too much & had too many...
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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...
