It was a little all over the place, too drawn-out, and not quite about what the synopsis says it's about. And if I wasn't too lazy to decide on a different book, it would've been a DNF.

Just watched Rob Sheffield on Morning Mika.

As someone who used to love pop music back in the 80s, I find myself singing Taylor‘s lyrics because they do remind me of different times in my life. Plus they‘re catchy!

This book seems perfect because I‘m less interested in Taylor‘s personal life, and much more interested in her creative process & business acumen.

This isn't my genre of choice, but I thought it would be more character driven than plot driven given the unusual age of the woman. Definitely a case of it's the reader, not the book.

TheAromaofBooks I enjoyed this one, but felt like the characters were all kind of the same. 1w
TheBookgeekFrau @TheAromaofBooks Yes! The last chapters had a few pops of personality, but that was it. 1w

I really wanted to like this end of life story, but the writing style was so distracting that I found it hard to stay in the story.

It's a good, solid Jill Shalvis story complete with likable characters, humor, banter, and found family. However, I found myself getting impatient with "the formula" plot. Time for a break. I did get a #BookSpinBingo though, so woohoo!

This horse's story was so touching and inspiring, but the writing was repetitive and dull. Only the story and history kept me from DNFing. However, the long buried horse-girl in me is glad I read it 😊🐴
