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 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 [...]
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. [...]
Rating: 3.5 stars This was a highly enjoyable read! Surprising, considering it’s filled with tropes, but somehow that didn’t bother me completely. The Hating Game follows Lucy and Josh, two sworn enemies/coworkers, who are in a constant battle of upping one another. This only intensifies when a promotion between the two is up for grabs. [...]
Review: The gist of this review and reading experience: I got what I came here for. I think 3 star ratings tend to be looked down upon, but to me it just means I enjoyed reading the book without it making a memorable impression on me. Emma Mills' books are like cotton candy. They're pretty, [...]
Oh hey, what do you know? I was actually reasonable with my book buying in May. May was kind of a sucky month for me ngl. I'm all about positivity and spreading light, so I don't want this post to take a pessimistic turn. All I will say is that books were a huge comfort [...]
For the past year and a half I’d say I’ve been slowly but steadily making my way through the romance genre. When I started this novel I figured it would blur in my mind with all the others, but somehow Tucker managed to write something that stands out. I think it’s safe to say that [...]
Rating: And yet again I find myself on the unpopular side of the spectrum *sighs* Honestly, I had high hopes for this one. I’ve been reading a lot of fantasy and generally depressing contemporaries, so my heart wanted a break to gush and blush like a schoolgirl. Sadly, this book did not deliver on that [...]
Rating: I’m mad. Mad at this stupid book for making me feel stupid things. Started and finished this on Valentine’s day, because I thought to myself do I want a relationship? No, but could I vicariously live through one? Sure. And for about half way through everything was fine. I thought this might even be a five star. You [...]
First off, Shatter Me. Rating: The problem with ratings is that they mean something different to every reader. For me, a 1 star simply means I didn’t like the book. It does not mean it’s an abomination or that it belongs in the garbage. Honestly, giving 1 stars leaves me feeling yucky, but at the [...]
