pickWow! This book was spicy I haven‘t picked up a romance to read in awhile; and this was a good one. I went into it not know too much about what it was about other than an author‘s romance story. Her story was so emotional and captiviting that I stayed up late reading for the first time in forever I wouldv‘e loved the ending if there had been a bit more there. I felt like I got a lot of detail up until the end of the book.
pickRight book at the right time, I ADORED this one: sad, funny, and romantic. When I read it. When I listened to it…not so much. The hero is the nicest, sweetest guy but the male reader‘s voice was all wrong; made him sound like a creep, or a jerk.
I‘m so glad I read it before listening.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ This story‘s fine, but does not live up to the hype. The Author‘s Note is a content warning, but it was still far darker and more serious than anticipated. I thought it would be a small portion, but it totally drives the plot. I prefer my romances a bit lighter and funnier. I appreciated the characters more than the story. The tough subject matter was handled very well, though, especially concerning Grant‘s character. He was my favorite.
pickPretty good. Very, very steamy. (Maybe a smidge TMI sometimes.) I wish there had been a bit less sex and bit more conversation as the characters got to know each other. I wanted more emotional build up.
pickThis was pretty good! I liked the storyline. It definitely tugged on my heart and has a nice amount of spice. I would read another book from this author!
pickHow To End A Love Story was centred around a straight laced author who‘s book was being made into a movie or series. She has to work with someone from her past that has a couple of connections from years before. It‘s well written and an easy read.
Today‘s goals?
Book, iced latte and a hammock
pickJune 28, 2024 I have no words for the way Kuang wrote the book. In the beginning it felt slow and then sped up in the middle, discussing and focusing on the relationship that Helen and Grant had with each other, in the writing room and outside of the writing room. Outside of the writing room "things" got steamy and hot. The sad part about the book is that Michelle suicides. Take caution when reading this book. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
June 26, 2024 Almost done with the book! Very interesting way to take on a romance book. Seems different than any romance book I have read. The books that I read that are romance are DEEP ROMANCE. After, I can read The Chinese Groove by Kathryn Ma and A long time coming by Meghan Quinn.
June 18, 2024 Happy Tuesday! Started reading the book and did not expect it to be the way it started. Like literally speaking. How to End a Love Story actually ties in the idea of a on-the-page discussion about "complicated grief, suicide loss, and death of a sibling". Michelle Zhang, Helen Zhang's younger sister suicides and she sees Grant Shepard at her sisters' funeral. He was the last person she hoped to see EVER. Now he is in a writing group.
