Rating this book sucks. I almost question whether doing so is a mistake on my part. When it comes to sensitive topics, how necessary or efficient are ratings? I would hate for a lower rating to deter anyone away from picking this up, or that it would in anyway minimize the subject matter explored. Now, [...]
I completely had a different idea of what I was getting myself into. In fact, I think there needs to be a cover change for this book, because the current one gives off the vibe of a soft-natured/run-of-the-mill contemporary. What’s inside is most definitely not that. In fact, I had the bizarre idea in my [...]
I read Josie Silver’s One Day in December when it was a Book of The Month pick back in 2018. Despite liking her writing, I wasn’t able to enjoy her novel based on the premise, which revolved around the MC cheating with her best friend’s boyfriend. However, when I saw that it was a BOTM pick once more I [...]
I desperately wish that I had loved this. However, I did not, and while I may not have liked this book, it is by no means a bad one. This just happens to be one of those it’s me, not you scenarios. Anna K is a modern retelling of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. We follow a large cast [...]
I seldom get a reading high. That adrenaline rush you get when you complete a book within hours, reading it from cover to cover, and glorifying all of its content. However, I did get one by reading In Five Years. Sure, after giving it a few days I was able to see the errors I’d purposefully [...]
I've been thinking back to the whirlwind that was this book and...wow. It's been a long time since I've read a book that was this gripping yet powerful. I cannot express into words how much I LOVED this book. It's a weird and an original concept that is executed beautifully. There are so many pieces [...]
Rating: Listen, I want to be Taylor Jenkins Reid trash. I want to love every single one of her books, have them all displayed on a pretty shelf, and proudly claim she is my favorite author. But friends, as a good group of pals (The Rolling Stones) once said: you can’t always get what you want. [...]
I've been reminiscing on my first Stephen King book and how much I really enjoyed it! It's a bit of a slow burner, but overall a creative, atmospheric, and original piece of work. I don't think I've ever read any quite like it, and what's best is I learned a lot about the different time [...]
Oh hello this was just my type of weird! Agh I can't even put into proper words how fun and thought provoking this book was for me. Of course, I shouldn't have expected anything different considering BoJack Horseman is one of my favorite shows of all time. Someone Who Will Love You in All Your [...]
Another enjoyable read by Moriarty! I don’t know if it’s the narrator, but Big Little Lies and The Husband’s Secrets have both been engrossing and addictive reads. This isn’t as good as Big Little Lies simply because the stories of the characters aren’t as intertwined or as mysterious. The Tess narrative wasn’t necessary, beyond just [...]
