The characters in this book were well-written, but with 12 of them gathered at the cabin, it was initially overwhelming to keep track of everyone. Once I got a sense of who was who, the story unfolded with plenty of drama—ranging from a relationship with a younger man, his ex-wife joining him at his new Read more
I really enjoyed reading this collection of essays. It was easy to get through and I nearly finished it all at once. James Patterson organized the stories into different parts, which was helpful. Since books have been such a big part of my life, it was inspiring to read stories that felt so relatable. It’s Read more
I am sorry that I have not been publishing my reviews. I am a few months behind on reviews of the books that I have been reading. I am going to see about catching up the next few weeks! My review: I read this book so quickly. It was nice to see the proceeds of Read more
I read this book in less than a week. You lose yourself in her stories. There were no pictures in the novel. I also listened to the audiobook which was narrated by Viola. Her life is not like a typical celebrity’s. She did not grow up in the industry at all. This book was powerful. Read more
It only took me 2 days to read this book. It was a little repetitive. It also is not linear. He jumps all over the place. It was hard to figure out when things happened until he talks about a TV/movie project. At that point, I would Google the date. I found him to Read more
I really liked the plot of the story. It reminded me if Charlie’s Angels retired. I could definitely see this book being made into a movie! It was a fun read. I did recommend this book to a few people already. The writing style was a little bland. I did not like the humor in Read more
Colleen Hoover always seems like she sucks you right into the story. I read this book in about 2 days! This book was so easy to read. Colleen’s words just flow on the page. The characters were so likable. But the relationships were all problematic. But I kind of like that about Colleen’s books. They Read more
I did not know who Jeanette was before reading this book. I am 40 years old, so this was after my pre-teen years. But I am glad that I read this memoir. The memoir was honest and raw. She dives into some pretty heavy topics and abuse in her life. She is very brave being Read more
I really enjoyed this novel. As with any Colleen Hoover book, I read it in 2 days. I really thought it flowed nicely. This was not my favorite Hoover novel, though. It is the same as some of her other novels. Two people fall in love but cannot entirely as one is harboring a secret Read more
I read this book in 2 days. I really enjoyed reading it. I think the writing just flowed perfectly. The characters were very interesting and complex. This book is very spicy. I am not a spicy romance fan. But between the spice, this book has a lot more to offer. Every chapter had a sex Read more
I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Tom Felton’s memoir! Tom Felton’s memoir is so easy to read. It is like listening to your friend tell you stories instead of a memoir! All his stories were interesting and some were funny. He is a great storyteller. A lot of his childhood memories made Read more
This book was so predictable but also good. Kristin Hannah still was able to spin a great story regardless of me being able to predict every chapter. I read this book rather quickly. I decided to rate this book with a 3-star review. This book was too predictable and cheesy to rate it anything but Read more
I am giving this book a 4.5-star review. This book was wonderful! The only reason why I rated it lower was due to the ending. With all that build-up, I was expecting the ending to be a lot longer or fantastic like Violet’s life. I was going to give this book a 5-star review until Read more
This novel was very predictable. I almost did not finish it. But something compelled me to keep reading. It was a cute story, but it was also slow and predictable. It was very cheesy too. But it was a light and cute read which I was also expecting. The characters were the main reason why Read more
Roxane Gay is a fantastic writer. I devoured this book. I read it in the doctor’s office. Someone asked me about what I was reading. I stated to them that it was a very raw and honest memoir. I highly recommend this book. I feel as though I should not give it a starred review Read more
I have no clue what I just read. What a strange novel, but also a page-turner. The multiple POVs and ton of characters were very confusing at times. But I think that was kind of the point. We were left in the dark about who the characters were so that at the end there was Read more
This book did not hit me like Emily Henry’s other books. But it was still a great novel. I really liked the Hallmark movie vibes to this book. You never really think about the person that the man leaves back in the city in those movies! After this book, I will be thinking about them. Read more
This book is heavy but done so in a light-hearted way. It is hard to talk about depression, anxiety, and social anxiety with a little bit of humor and light-heartedness. After reading this book, I really had hope and joy. There were very dark times but it was also uplifting. It is hard to explain! Read more
This book was very good. The writing was excellent. I really enjoyed her other novel “The Last Flight” as well. I had a hard time putting this book down! It was a bit predictable though but still enjoyable. It was definitely a slow burn. This book has two perspectives: Kat and Meg (basically the cat Read more
I thought it was more of a thriller when I picked this book up. It crosses between horror and thriller/mystery. The scariest part of the book was the drawings. I had to read with a light on! But it was not a traditional horror, mystery, or thriller. It combined a lot of elements of all Read more
What a unique plot. I do not usually read books like this. I am not a supernatural fan. I picked it up because it was more in-depth than just seeing ghosts. This book dealt with topics about family, grief, love, and moving forward. I really enjoyed reading it. I really liked the characters in the Read more
I really enjoyed the first half of the book but felt like the last half was very slow. But overall, it was great. It was beautifully written as well. Some of the scenery descriptions were so detailed that I felt like I was there! I have to admit that I was not sure that I Read more
I really liked the unique plot. I will never read something like this again! It is also a unique setting. It is set in Africa (Serengeti) in the 1960s. In this novel, the land, animals, and people can kill you. I would classify this novel as a Historical fiction thriller. I thought at first that Read more
I really enjoyed the plot. It was very unique. It was also beautifully written. I love time travel books too! This time travel was more like 13 Going on 30 than Back to the Future (if you get my drift). She is 40 years old and wakes up being 16 years old again. But her Read more
This book is funny. I think that is the part that I liked the most. It was not the honest and raw book that I was expecting. Although, she does discuss a skit that she felt bad about on SNL. She issued an apology for it. But for the most part, this is not the Read more
I rated this book s 3.5 to 4-star review. I have to attempt, I am not a fan of Selma. I picked this book up, because I thought it would be an interesting read. I do follow her on Instagram. She has inspired many people with her incredible story of strength. After reading this memoir, Read more
This book took me a lot longer than expected to finish. I almost did not complete it. The first half of the book is slow. It does pick up, so I am thankful that I kept reading! It was worth my time, though. I really found the book rather interesting. It was beautifully written and Read more
5 Stars! I really enjoyed Jennifer Grey in her many works throughout the years. I mean what person has not watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or Dirty Dancing? I knew that I was going to read this memoir as soon as I could. There has been a lot of buzz about it. I read about some of her Read more
I usually love the graphics in a graphic novel, but something about the people’s faces in this book. I also thought each page was jumbled with too much stuff. I did not like her jumbled style. She tended to repeat a lot of things over and over again. I wish she would have organized her Read more
The characters were very well-developed. The characters (for the most part) are likable. It is a typical YA book where the parents are the ones with the issues. But I just wanted more from these characters. There was a lot of potential for this to be a great novel. I just thought it needed something Read more
