Review: Nantucket Blue –..

I wanted to like this book, I really really did. It seemed like the perfect summer read. An island during the summer, a cute romance, and a small mystery. Sadly all the parts just didn’t add up and I was left feeling disappointed and yearning for what could have been. It wasn’t a bad book, in the long run, it just wasn’t what it could have been. It’s hard for me to describe what Nantucket Blue was truly about because it wasn’t really 100% clear. On the surface, it seemed to be about Cricket wanting to be there for her […]

Review: Impostor – Jill ..

When I finished this book I wasn’t sure how to feel. I had a lot of emotions, some of them not good. The end left a bad taste in my mouth which then took away from the rest of the story which I had enjoyed pretty much up until the climax/conclusion. I still really don’t know how to feel about it. Did I like it? Did I hate it? Was it just a meh book for me? And the thing is I can’t give a definite answer to any of those questions because in the end, the book was kind […]

Review: Golden – Jessi K..

Golden was a different kind of book for me. I had been really excited to read this one and was thrilled when the library happened to have a copy laying around. But sadly I was disappointed to not like it as much as I had hoped to. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it a lot and thought it had a great message, but something wasn’t right for me. I don’t know if it was the main character Parker, or her over the top with all the fun BFF, Kat, or the romance of it that felt off, but something […]

Second Chance Sunday – T..

Today’s Second Chance Sunday, The ABC’s of Kissing Boys, was just a fun cute read and is perfect for summer. This was originally posted here. First off, I must admit that I have a weakness for adorable kisses in books. There is something that just makes me melt when reading about them. So it is no surprise that I was a pile of goo for most of this one. Because let me just tell you that The ABC’s of Kissing Boys is chock full of adorable kissing cuteness. Some books make you crave cupcakes or Slurpee’s or Cheetos but this […]
