Winging It

Winging It by Emma Murray

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Honestly I am tired of hearing about Patrick. I just cannot anymore. And I am tired of Saoirse being so hypocritical about the people she cuts off, can’t forgive, when she has done some pretty crappy things too. This one dragged from beginning to end. There was way too many coincidences and I just forced myself to finish this one. With Saoirse and her husband David and their daughter moving to New York for a year, I thought we would get some fun Big Apple […]

The Juggle

The Juggle by Emma Murray

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

I liked this one better than book #1. Probably because Saoirse comes to realize that not everyone she meets is going to be a best friend forever like Bea. I liked the resolution to some things, but other things had me going what the heck. I did laugh a lot though while reading this one which is the main reason why I gave this one 4 stars. The mothers in Saoirse’s neighborhood sound like a lot. I am not a mother, but I never understood […]

Time Out

Time Out by Emma Murray

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

I ended up reading the series starring the main character, Saoirse, back to back to back. So far there are 3 books. I don’t know if I will read a fourth. Probably because she started getting on my nerves in book #3 and I was over her by then. The first book sets things up fairly nicely though. Saoirse is a married mom of one. Her daughter, Alice, is like Damien reborn. Her husband David practically gets hives though if their house is out of […]

Reminders of Him

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

  I don’t know. This book just made me shake my head. The love story is not between the characters of Ledger and Kenna. Instead it’s between Kenna and Scotty. And due to how Hoover allows us to see Kenna and Scotty’s relationship, it felt more real and believable to me than whatever this mess was between Ledger and Kenna. I just didn’t buy it. Also when we are finally told about “that night” I called BS on a few things and it didn’t make […]

Things We Never Got Over

Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

DNF at 20 percent. Absolutely freaking not. I despised the hero in this one and didn’t like the heroine much either. I just cannot take alpha romance books anymore. They actually irritate me. It is not sexy for a man to grab someone by their wrists and drag them around. I hate that. I hate that. I hate that. Knox is not sexy and Naomi was just whatever. When I realized this romance was over 500 pages I happily DNFed it. Also the writing at […]

Incense and Sensibility

Incense and Sensibility by Sonali Dev

January 24, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Wow. So apparently I don’t like homages to Sense and Sensibility either. This book dragged. A lot. There is no chemistry between India and Yash. I feel for Yash, but most of this was due to him deciding to just lie to everyone and I started running out of sympathy. I also laughed about the unrealistic ending. Maybe because the media these day’s don’t seem to be on the side of anyone that would be considered liberal like Yash, I think the fall out would […]
