Rites of Passage has me a bit torn. There were definitely pros and cons with this book. Things I Liked For the most part, I LOVED Sam as a character. That girl is tough as nails! She gets an insane amount of shit thrown at […]

I Can’t Remember the Last Time I Loved a Book So Much (After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid)
WOW! WOW WOW WOW! After I Do has COMPLETELY blown me away! I can’t remember the last time I loved a book this much!! The last time I rated a book five stars was Five Ways to Fall and yes, that was a stellar book. […]
Review: Landline by Rainbow Rowell
I feel a bit let down with Landline. On the one hand, I actually quite liked the book as I was reading it. It was an interesting story and I loved the idea of Georgie communicating with the teenage version of her husband. It was […]
Review: Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire
There was a lot that I loved about Beautiful Oblivion. I think the most important thing that people will appreciate (I certainly did) was how strong of a main character Cami was. The synopsis doesn’t lie when it labels her as “fiercely independent”. That girl […]
Review: Five Ways to Fall by K.A. Tucker
OH MY GOOOSHHH! Five Ways to Fall was basically perfect! And it is now my greatest life ambition to become a citrus farmer. It’s going to happen. I shall have a farmer’s tan, drive a beat up truck, and pick oranges from the grove. And […]

Ben: I hate you so much I went into Depth of Field with all the wrong assumptions. For the most part I like the first book, Rule of Thirds. The one thing I didn’t like was Ben. I hated his personality and I hated his […]

Review: The Dare by Hannah Jayne
The Dare was some spooky ass shit. The whole time, I felt SO BAD for Bryn! I certainly didn’t approve of her actions (drinking, drugs), but I felt like I could at least sort of understand them. What happened was truly tragic and I imagine […]
DNF Review: The Sweet Spot by Stephanie Evanovich
I stopped reading at the 32% mark. I noticed pretty early on that The Sweet Spot was like 100% telling and 0% showing. The sequence of events is just laid out with no emotion, no “moments”, no personality—nothing real. It’s literally like: Amanda meets Chase. […]
