It has everything. From the carefully structured plot, funny characters to thoughtfully build romance settings. I'm glad there weren't too many smutty scenes since I'm usually not a fan of those. I could relate to the main character and totally understood how she felt. I also really liked the narrator.(I listened this as an audiobook) Also, the book is really light in tone and fluffy.
I recommend. Perfect for a nice summer beach read....more

Henry found a way of writing a light fluffy romance intertwined with really heavy topics, and not overdoing it and making it a drag. I'm not a romance reader, but I loved this.

This time is the perfect time to pick up books that you always wanted to. Which meant The Shining for me. First published in 1977, which means this book is more than 43 years old, and still a masterpiece. S.King creates amazing, vivid characters and settings. His premises are imaginative and unconventional, yet his executions are not lacking.
Yes, he uses a lot of descriptions and details but if you give him some time, it pays of.
I was both reading this and listening to it so I had a fully immersive and mesmerizing experience that put this into one of my favorite books.

This is my first Quinn book. I always saw her work in my bookshop, but for some reason, I never picked up any of her work till now. I was looking for This is my first Quinn book. I always saw her work in my bookshop, but for some reason, I never picked up any of her work till now. I was looking for something for my bf's mom to read, since the quarantine has us all locked up, and here it is. Perfect for readers who love WWII, friendships, strong characters.
I loved the plot idea and how well it was executed. The plot never felt stagnant or dormant and both stories were great. The writing was not too complicated and the plot was not to heavy on WWII so I recommend this for people who like WWII stories and fiction.

Tanks to Riley Marie, I read and listened to this beauty. I loved the characters, their relationships, and the plot kept me on the edge at all times. I also appreciated the narrators, Aphrodite, Hades, Ares a lot, and their view. Anyways, the downside is that this might be a little dull to people who love diversity in their books and plot twists. I still managed to be delighted by this story....more

4.5 This was one of my first Stephen King novels. The only thing I expected was to be scared. LUCKILY for me, this book wasn't too scary. What I loved 4.5 This was one of my first Stephen King novels. The only thing I expected was to be scared. LUCKILY for me, this book wasn't too scary. What I loved about this book, is how well King creates small towns and settings. The institute felt really much alive, and I loved the little twist on the end and the question behind everything connected with utilitarianism. Is a sacrifice of a few individuals justification for saving everyone else.
I also loved the spooky, eerie atmosphere and the well developed characters. Frankly, this book is everything I wanted "The Inspection" to be. But better.

The third HP movie is my favorite HP movie and I expected this to be my favorite HP installment but it's not apparently. Hear me out. I love time travel as a concept so what's grasping me most in this installment is the time turner, but I was surprised by how vile and despicable Harry and Ron were towards Hermione and that disappointed me a little. Still loving it though....more

This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year, and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED. Cornelia Funke (+ Guillermo del Toro) did it again. This is darkThis was one of my most anticipated releases of the year, and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED. Cornelia Funke (+ Guillermo del Toro) did it again. This is dark, twisted, whimsical and I'd recommend it for Halloween, and definitely not for kids if they don't like scary stuff. So TGW: Abuse, war, gore, slaughter, torture, death and other. Eventhough in the synopsis, it says there are multiple stories (which there are), there are all connected and form one bigger story, and also, the main story is always in the main focus so you can't read this as a short story collection. I loved all the creatures in this book, especially because in one point I wasn't sure if some of them are the good guys or bad guys which made me love the book even more. From all the characters, I loved Mercedes most due to how courageous she is and her role in the book.

I read one book from this author, in 8th grade, and remember loving it! Then I recommended this author to my boyfriend's mom, and she loved Rules of Magic! SO obviously I had to read it now, and you guys, I was blown away. Hoffman has this beautiful writing style that is lyric, but no over the top! The plot was interesting, and the premise is not so cheesy as it sounds. Can't wait to see more from these unique characters! Off to read Practical Magic now. ...more
