What Does it Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella

What Does it Feel Like by Sophie Kinsella

This was a perfectly lovely novella that Kinsella published. Based on her true life events, this story follows a writer named Eve that hits it big and then wakes up one day in the hospital and finds out that a huge malignant tumor was removed from her brain. “What Does It Feel Like?” follows her on her journey. I have to say that this whole book made me recall what my family went through when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was […]

August 23, 2022 review: I swear, I do love Christmas romance books. No idea why. Probably all of those Hallmark movies or something. But this re-read was pretty dry and I just got through it quickly. I have been reading this series since I was in my 20s and Becky is still acting like a whole ass mess. She stopped being “twee” for me several books ago. I just happened to remember I had this one and decided to read it for a book bingo […]

August 23, 2022 review: I only did this re-read since it fit a bingo book category. I really didn’t like it the first time I read it, and I liked it even less on my second read through as well. I think it just was all over the place and the “romance” was not even central to the story. I just found the main hero to be another blander version of the character of Luke Brandon from the “Shopaholic” series. Original review: Updated: December 2019: […]

Just a so-so Kinsella book. FYI, this is not a romance, this is women’s fiction. The main character (Effie) story is focused on her family and those relationships. There is an ex (isn’t there always?) but that whole thing is not the most important part of the book. And honestly the why behind the break up was so damn dumb I refuse to award any points for shoehorning this into this book. The flow of this one was pretty awful. Effie who is almost 30 […]

Updated: December 2019: So, I am a dumb ass. I thought I liked this book when I first read it. Since I was in a reading slump I grabbed this and a few other books to re-read during Christmas Day. Ugh. This is still goofy and irritating for all of the reasons I said below. However, having wine and cheese while reading this made the book much more palatable. I have always been fascinated by the 20s. You had the so-called Jazz Age, women fighting […]

Underwhelming amnesia rom-com.

Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella

October 8, 2019 by narfna 2 Comments

This was my first Sophie Kinsella book, and I wouldn’t say no to reading more, even though this was mostly just an okay read for me. For about the first third or so, I didn’t even really like it, but by the end I was invested. I probably wouldn’t have picked it up for a long time, if ever, except that I pulled it out of my TBR Jar (that thing has been really helpful in cleaning up my shelves, by the way). This book […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
