Review #249
I rated this sequel in Adrienne Young’s duology a 4/5 stars. This epic fantasy was all about different sides fighting in a war. The romance was minimal. I liked that there were two points of view but since they had such little interaction, I’m not sure if it was necessary. The dual POV was moreContinue reading “Review #249”

I rated “Sky in the Deep” by Adrienne Young a generous 4.5/5 stars. This was a YA epic fantasy with a dash of clean romance fade to black. I loved the consistency that we stayed in Eelyn’s point of view the whole time in first person, past-tense narrative. The bonus scene of Fiske thrown inContinue reading “Review #248”

“Life’s too Short” by Abby J got a 3.9/5 stars for me. This is the third in this contemporary romance series and I read the first two recently. I enjoyed the first two more with Kristin’s story being my favorite. Abby’s fourth book came out last month as a Book of the Month selection andContinue reading “Review #247”

I gave this historical fiction a 3.9/5 stars. When I hit the second section. I was expecting the interview format to change. It didn’t. A few pages is fine, but a whole book like this is jarring and staccato. “I had no interest in being somebody else’s muse. I am not a muse. I amContinue reading “Review #246”

This book has a bit for everyone. here are my thoughts and notes I wrote while reading: Right away we learn about Cherry losing her mom at the age of 22, feeling a bit lost in the worldContinue reading “Review #245”

I gave The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary a 3.0/5 stars. This contemporary romance story was a bit flat and dry for me. It was also slow but I do recommend it for romance readers to give it a try. Here are my uncensored thoughts while reading: In chapter 1 we learn of the unfortunate circumstancesContinue reading “Review #244”

I gave Rainbow Rowell’s novel a 3.5/5 This romcom switched POV between first person in the emails to third person for Lincoln’s story Attachments started off with a bang of a witty exchange between Jennifer and Beth, seemingly best friends who know each other well enough to joke about inappropriate topics. Chapter 2 was aContinue reading “Review #243”

Wowzie! “All Your Perfects” was intense. I’d give this Colleen Hoover a 4.3/5 only because I noticed myself skimming a few sections. But overall, the raw authenticity of their relationship was very relatable. Avoidance is a big thing to overcome after years of formed patterns with a significant other and it tricky to overcome. It’sContinue reading “Review #242”
