Tough Guy 3 stars “So, you want to tell us about that hockey lumberjack or what?” “Hockey lumberjack?” Marcus asked, setting his phone on the coffee table facedown in a gesture of absolute interest in the conversation. ― Rachel Reid, Tough Guy His whole […]

This book has been big in the zeitgeist, and I wasn’t sure if I’d ever pick it up because it is so…freaking…long. But I was looking for a new audiobook on Libby and there it was, available for my listening pleasure, and I gotta tell you: 25 hours never went by so fast.

This was a really strange read. It felt like reading fanfic, but not the good fanfic, the fanfic that people think you get when you read fanfic – really long and pointlessly indulgent. This was going to be a 3 star read, because even though it needed a lot of editing, and 150 fewer pages, it wasn’t horrible. And then I got to the end and was so confused as to what the point had been and why so many plot lines were left loose. […]
