  • WHAT HAPPENS IN PARADISE BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND

    WHAT HAPPENS IN PARADISE BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND

    Listen, I feel bad about the 3 stars.. but hear me out. I didn’t know this was going to be a planned 3 part series. If so, I’m not sure how interested I would be in investing my time in this series when I picked up the first book. But … here I am and…

  • THE UNRAVELING OF CASSIDY HOLMES BY: ELISSA R. SLOAN

    THE UNRAVELING OF CASSIDY HOLMES BY: ELISSA R. SLOAN

    Don’t hate me … I know I’m going to get a lot of push back on this … but this book just wasn’t that good … Overall the story of trying to expose what the media and powers that be are doing to innocent people going in to the industry? Totally overshadowed by the greed…

  • SUMMER OF ’69 BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND

    SUMMER OF ’69 BY: ELIN HILDERBRAND

    We have the same birthday! (Kinda) I’m not sure how to feel about this book. It was okay. A little exhausting. A little boring. In the end I finished it, so it couldn’t have been that bad? I think I have to give up on this author. I liked one of her books and have…

  • THEN SHE WAS GONE BY: LISA JEWELL

    THEN SHE WAS GONE BY: LISA JEWELL

    A weird, wild ride … I am a big fan of Lisa Jewell and this wasn’t her best work. As I think back to this now I have happy thoughts about the book. The odd little girl, the odd tangles … yet in the end it was still just plainly, odd. It didn’t seem to…

  • TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE BY: CAROLA LOVERING

    TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE BY: CAROLA LOVERING

    Not for me … This is a 2.5, rounded up to 3 star book. I can’t even put my finger on what was off about this book, but something was just OFF. It just wouldn’t end. The ‘twist’ was meh. The characters, meh. It’s the kind of story that your friend tells you at a…

  • THE WITCH ELM BY: TANA FRENCH

    THE WITCH ELM BY: TANA FRENCH

    This was a hard rating to give! I am a HUGE Tana French fan. HUGE. So sitting here thinking about this book, I’m like what was this? This felt like nothing like her older books. The writing felt like a completely different author. I will never downgrade a review based on not liking a character…

  • A WILD WINTER SWAN BY: GREGORY MAGUIRE

    A WILD WINTER SWAN BY: GREGORY MAGUIRE

    I wish I would have read during Christmas time. This is a cutesy, folkey, holiday story. I didn’t really flow with the writing. I get the point of the story, but I don’t get it. It felt like all the pieces were there for a good story, trying to tell me some sort of life…
