I wanted to love this book so much, and I really do think the foundation for this series is HERE. It’s present… but I think this is a new author and he is coming into his writing style with room for growth.
I did find that as I read, I felt I was being told about the chemistry between the characters but I never really FELT that chemistry. Because of this, the main romance was not something I could get on board with.
I also felt as though the main character was much younger than he actually was, so when the spice came it just felt… off for me I guess? I genuinely felt like this would’ve been a great YA book, the spice just didn’t fit for me.
I feel as though with the plans the author has for the series (I think 6+ books!), this could be a really great coming of age series for young boys struggling with identity and finding themselves. I am excited to see how the characters grow and where the storyline takes us! But ultimately I am excited to see the growth this author shows as he steps into his true potential! ...more
Cute!!!! This is my first Emily Henry book and while it was super cute and absolutely hilarious… it just didn’t make my 5 star list.
I LOVED the banteCute!!!! This is my first Emily Henry book and while it was super cute and absolutely hilarious… it just didn’t make my 5 star list.
I LOVED the banter between these characters, actually found myself laughing out loud to a lot which is rare for me. But… could we not have gotten our shit together sooner? I felt like a lot could’ve been resolved faster and then given us just a bit more at the end. But…. That’s just me!
If someone were to ever ask me for a rom-com with very little spice, this would be a top recommendation! ...more
Very interesting read! I felt like it gave me so much insight on dissociative disorder and how ones experience can be through that.
I did find this boVery interesting read! I felt like it gave me so much insight on dissociative disorder and how ones experience can be through that.
I did find this book of hers a bit more “thriller-y” than the others I’ve read. It’s a psychological thriller and I definitely got those vibes because I didn’t know WHAT was going on and did not predict anything correctly lol
I enjoyed listening to this and found it very interesting, intriguing, and captivating. Just wasn’t quite a 5⭐️ for me. ...more
This book is insane. This book takes a situation that you would say “oh I know exactly what I would do” and literally puts you inside of it and makes This book is insane. This book takes a situation that you would say “oh I know exactly what I would do” and literally puts you inside of it and makes you rethink EVERYTHING you ever thought you knew.
This was a tough read. Check your triggers, especially if you are a parent. But overall, I love love LOVE books that challenge my thinking and make me rethink what I “think I’d do”.
Lucinda Berry does it again. And by “it”, I mean terrifies me for when my kids get older. ...more
This is NOT the type of bad boy I want. He is weak. Conceited. Powerless.
