Friends to Lovers by Sally Blakely

Friends to Lovers by Sally Blakely

  Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Man, I hit a bad streak this week. I don’t even know what to say is that I love friends to lovers romance books, but this was we are not together for the dumbest things known to man for years and I lost patience with everyone involved at 50 percent. Following the love interests to various weddings over a 5 year period was a cute idea, but […]

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Well, this was a book. I don’t even know what to say except there was a reason why this one took me a while to get through and read. It was just dense. I got tired of the long winded chapters via Quinn and Lacie. I felt like there was just way too much going on and not enough at the same time. I think in the end […]

The Crash by Frieda McFadden

Well bless McFadden. She has a formula that is really working for her. That said, this one dragged because honestly I feel bad for saying this, she needed to cut down some of the sections developing the two characters of Teagan and Polly. I just kept waiting for a bad thing to happen and at one point I was like, is anyone going to die? We just playing games and whatnot? It just got boring and I was over Polly by the 3/4 mark honestly. […]

The Return by Rachel Harrison

Trigger warning: Disordered eating. So I really liked this one, though parts of it dragged. I did think that there were a couple of dropped plot points (mostly around Tristan), but thought the book was a great horror novel looking at female friendships and what is really a best friend. Be warned though, it had a lot of body horror though for people who are squeamish. “The Return” follows 27 year old Elise who is stuck in a dead end life in Buffalo. Her other […]

The Beach House by Mary Alice Monroe

The Beach House by Mary Alice Monroe

by Leave a Comment

Funny enough a friend asked me about Mary Alice Monroe earlier this week. I realized she had a standalone historical novel come out after a number of years of not having anything outside of “The Beach House” series. I told her that I loved Mary Alice Monroe’s earlier works, loved “The Book Club” and was surprised but pleased to see the first book of “The Beach House” series in my Kindle as previously read (eons ago). I decided to re-read this one and “Swimming Lessons.” […]

Misery by Stephen King

Misery by Stephen King

by 2 Comments

Well, I had a book challenge to read a book that has been on my TBR pile for 5 years. This one has been on my list for decades. I don’t know why I never wanted to read “Misery.” Maybe because I liked the movie so much and I had an inkling I wouldn’t like the book? I don’t know. This was a drag from beginning to end. At one point I kept looking to see if Stephen King even wrote this book. My main […]
