Classic's Reviews:

Confusing Book

Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance by Alison Espach

by Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So I have to do something a bit different with this book. I won’t summarize what didn’t work first because my brain keeps jumping around too much. I am going to start out with the synopsis, characters, writing, plot, flow, setting, ending. Then get to the overall impressions of the book. I just feel like I got really drunk last night and read this book. But I think […]

Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl

Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl by Joya Goffney

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Wow. What a very good/solid book. I laughed a few times and also had so much sympathy for the main character Monique, otherwise known as Mo. I think this is the first book I have read in a while that really resonated with my upbringing. I was raised in the Black Baptist church as is the fictional character. And boy I had some flashbacks to conversations I had […]

Bromantic

Isn't it Bromantic? by Lyssa Kay Adams

by Leave a Comment

So I kept comparing this book to historical romances I have read that dealt with marriages of convenience and found “Isn’t it Bromantic?” wanting. I think my main issues were that there were too many plot holes i.e. how come the guys had never met Elena until now? It’s been like what, 3 years since the events in the first book? I didn’t really find that Elena/Vlad were in love with each other. And there were way too many fade to black love scenes. Yes […]

The Endless Beach

The Endless Beach by Jenny Colgan

This was a great book to follow up on the Mure series. I read book 1, but had not had time to go through and read the next book in the series until now. I liked this book, didn’t love it. I think it clearly shows the issues between Flora and Joel and how unhealthy their relationship was and honestly I really thought the whole thing got tied up way too neatly. I assume that will come back to bite them in the next book. […]

Welcome to the School by the Sea

Welcome to the School by the Sea by Jenny Colgan

by Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley, this did not affect my rating or review. I was already not pleased about getting this book to review last week when it was already published. However, I decided to move this book up my review chain and get to it this week. I really regret reading this book. This is a series that Jenny Colgan wrote back in 2008 under the name Jane Beaton. I can see why William Morrow & Company decided to re-issue […]

Cinder’s Adventure: Get Me to the Wedding!

Cinder's Adventure: Get Me to the Wedding! by Marissa Meyer

by 2 Comments

I loved choose your own adventure books as a kid. To this day I wish I had kept them. My dad was great on getting me books where you were just a kid wandering in a forest and somehow got yanked into a different dimension. I also died every single time. Apparently I made poor choices as a kid. This choose your adventure starring Cinder from the Lunar Chronicles is so cool. “Cinder’s Adventure: Get Me to the Wedding!” follows Cinder who is about to […]
