In one of my book clubs I attend we were talking about the difference between historical and contemporary romance. With contemporary romance, there’s just usually not enough stakes going on to really care. A Merry Little Meet Cute tries to establish stakes with the main characters needing this movie to work out for their future, […]
This is actually the lowest rated Emily Henry book I’ve read. I’m a little shocked that I did rate it so low but here we are. I was really into the book at the beginning. I thought it was a fun and sweet novel, but after the first few chapters I knew that Poppy and […]
I have mixed feelings about this book. Overall, the book is an enjoyable, escapist book. I’m going to start with the parts I didn’t like and end with what was done well. This review is not spoiler free, so proceed at your own risk! First off, I don’t understand all the questions that were in […]
I keep going back and forth on how to rate this book. There were some elements I really loved and others that I didn’t connect to or could be better worked on. Starting with what I didn’t like. I know I’m not a fan of insta-lust or insta-love trope, I feel like with this type […]
The world-building, the characters, even the romance was all excellent. I couldn’t get enough of this book and only sleep kept me from it. I absolutely found the entire world that Varela created was so fascinating. It was definitely a bit creepy thinking about AI taking over (a nightmare of mine). The tension between humans […]
First off, I have to thank (heavy on the sarcasm) Hendrix for giving me even more of a reason to hate rats. That scene was a lot, and I don’t think I’ll ever recover. To start off, the story itself was super fascinating, and I do appreciate the note at the beginning as it gave […]
Such a thought-provoking book on gender and identity, an epic look into a world that doesn’t have gender. The world-building is probably the biggest focus for people but everything else works in the background and slowly sneaks up on you. Not realizing how emotionally I was invested in all of this til near the end. […]
I honestly don’t remember why I first rated this 4 stars when it’s definitely a 5 star read! Maybe having read the first one and then re-reading this just had everything make more sense. As with the first one, I found everything adorable about Aphrodite and Hephaestus! I’m blown away by how R.M. Virtues creates […]
To say I wasn’t grinning like a loon while reading this book would be a bold faced lie! I had such a fun time with this book not just in the banter between the characters, but the romance and the growth of each woman individually. Noah felt so relatable to me, as my confidence in […]
After finishing this one, I definitely rescind part of my criticism from my first review about being a bit grossed out by a male character taking over a female character. I still am not a fan and wished it was a Shepherd Queen instead of King, but knowing the Shepherd King felt like a father […]
