I really liked this in the beginning. It grabbed my attention and I was excited to read it, but the story wasn‘t what I expected and it did lose my interest as the twists were revealed. I think it was a little drug out in spots and I just didn‘t love the premise of this one. Good ending. Not bad, but I didn‘t love it.

This was beautifully written and such a powerful story about women. There is so much pressure in being a woman in so many ways and this really touched on a lot of that especially in showing the story of women from a different culture. A lot of heavy topics in this one - pregnancy, abuse, loss. Definitely would recommend.

I agree with a lot of the reviews on this one. What started out strong and interesting turned into a drawn out story that lost my interest quickly. The ending just wasn‘t what I hoped it would be and there was too much other stuff going on and really was unnecessary. It wasn‘t a long book, but felt a lot longer than what it was. Just okay for me.

This was really well written. Not quite what I expected. I thought maybe it would be more like Stiff by Mary Roach, but this was more of a memoir about a woman who worked in a crematorium. Very insightful and interesting to read about her experience. A little dark, but overall I liked this one.

Cool concept. I think it could have been a lot shorter and just written better. I was really invested halfway through and then it felt like it should have ended too many times and it didn‘t. It had a lot of potential, but just didn‘t hit fully for me. I thought it would have been a lot better based on the idea, but it wasn‘t for me.

Another 5 star book for me from Jodi. Loved this one so much. I already am a big believer in the dealing power of honey, so that aspect of this book and the educational side was so cool to read. But, the story. Another book by this author (et. al) that I stopped midway and had to pause for a second. This was perfectly written and will definitely stay with me. It‘s a must read.

This was a pretty good read. I enjoyed the setting and the characters, but I did feel like it was a bit slow in parts and the action just wasn‘t there. It took awhile to get moving and I was hoping for more to keep me interested. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and would read more by this author.

I definitely was in the middle with this book. The setting was really well done. It definitely made you feel like you were truly in it. But, it felt a little bit unbelievable and the ending was predictable in my opinion. There was as a lot I questioned and I felt like it built up to exactly what I thought was going to happen. So, it wasn‘t terrible, but it wasn‘t my favorite.

I really enjoyed this one. The premise of fake marriage has been done so much, but it was still really cute and fun. I loved the spice and thought the story line still managed to have a fresh take. Funny and good romance. Definitely a fun and light read.

Unpopular opinion it seems, but what the heck did I just read?? The writing was nice but I don‘t know. This was too much for me and I‘m so glad it was so short.

This was just not for me. It was slow to get anywhere. I hated the characters. I felt like it just went in circles to go nowhere. Just not a fan of this one. Definitely a pass for me.

I really liked this book. I thought it was a really great view of a woman‘s struggle with mental health, but also her relationships as a woman. She combines a look at her issues along with her experiences relating to men and reflects on this and also raises a lot of thought provoking things about what it is to be a woman who struggles with mental health. Very brave to share and finish.

This was a really quick read that packed a punch. This is a story of an unlikely friendship between an older gentleman and a young woman. The two form a bond and find their way in life through each other. Definitely a bit of a tear jerker and just a really sweet story. Well written and beautiful.

Cute. A story about what ifs and what could have happened. Honestly I didn‘t think there was anything super unique about this, but it was cute and a quick read with some spice and fun characters. Overall, not bad. Just okay for me.

Unpopular opinion but I just didn‘t like this. I would get interested and then it lost me and it just kept going like that for me. I was bored for most of it and didn‘t like the characters. The story honestly felt familiar to me and I just didn‘t love it.

This 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!

I spent the last 4 months of my life training for one of the biggest things I‘ve ever done. On Sunday, I completed Philadelphia Marathon - my first. 2 years ago I was very unhealthy and couldn‘t even run around the corner and I decided to make a change. The thing that helped me through training, was reading. Those miserable tread runs were accompanied by my kindle. And it got me to the finish line. You can do both. Oh - and I LOVED this book ❤️

Similar vibe as Shiver but not as good. Varying viewpoints and a bunch of unreliable characters. You can‘t trust anyone in this book. For me, it just took way too long to get anywhere. It was longer than it needed to be and the suspense wasn‘t enough to fuel it. More action was needed to really make this a higher rating for me. And then it ended and I just was underwhelmed. Not my fave.

I don‘t know about this one. Even though this wasn‘t a super long book, I just felt like it drug on for forever. I honestly kept hanging on for Angel because I loved his character. It game Big Fish vibes at first, but then just fell flat for me. Cool concept. Some interesting things, but overall, I didn‘t love this one.

This was just a personal preference for me on why I didn‘t care for this one. It was a bit slow for me in my opinion. And the shift in time and characters was really hard to follow especially when trying to absorb the historical elements of the book and the setting. It was a great story. I just didn‘t love it like everyone else does.

This is one of the best books I have read all year and probably in all the books I‘ve read, truly. It will stay with me for the rest of my life. It is so inspiring and well written. It is a self help style book, but I love the message of confidence building and the drive it made me feel. This book made me better by reading it. Do yourself a favor. Get this book. It‘s worth every single penny.

I really loved the premise of this book. It captured my interest right away and held it all the way through. I think maybe there were too many characters and it was a lot to keep track of all the different stories. But, I loved the concept and the way it was written. I think this could definitely be a really cool movie if they adapted it. Definitely a thought provoking and interesting book.

I liked the setting and the general concept but it was just weird for me. It felt off. I didn‘t like the writing. It didn‘t feel genuine or relatable. I just could not fully get into this one or stay interested. It was very wordy and the characters weren‘t my favorite. Just okay for me.

This was cute but I didn‘t love it that much. It was just okay for me. I know a lot of people loved this one, but I don‘t know if I would continue through the series. It was fun for one book but not sure if I want to go to the next one.

This was so good. So creepy. Tons of twists. I couldn‘t put it down when I picked it up. I love this author so much. She really knows how to take something spooky and make it real and feel like it could actually happen. Definitely a must read if you enjoy horror and thrillers. Didn‘t see the ending coming at all.

Lots of fun to read this series. I love the characters. So reminiscent of Stephanie Plum. Quirky and cute and funny. Definitely a great follow up to the first book!

This was really cute. I really enjoyed this series. Both books weee really fun to read and a nice amount of steamy content. I love the characters and the witches and demons and romance. Super fun for Halloween. I definitely will be checking out more by this author when I need a fun book to pick me up!

I really enjoyed this one more than I expected. It kept my interest completely all the way through. I liked the alternating timelines and settings and the way the story built up to what happened. The twist was really good and I didn‘t expect it to be what it was. I loved how it came together in the end, the characters and the story.

Just okay for me. Super spicy but not a lot of substance. Maybe because it was a novella. It just didn‘t have a lot of a story to convince me to keep going with the series. But it wasn‘t awful.

I did not expect to love this book as much as I did. It reminded me a little bit of The Time Traveller‘s Wife which I also loved. It had a lot of the same elements in it, but less timelines. I loved the mystery aspect of this book. There were a lot of pieces to put together which made this book really hard to put down. The writing was beautiful and the author really capture the setting perfectly. Definitely a must read.

This was a quick read. It was really cute and a bit steamy in parts. I loved the witchy theme and all the Halloween vibes. This was really fun to read and light. I definitely enjoyed the characters and the storyline and the cute setting. Not a whole lot of tension, but I enjoyed it.

I could not put this down. I loved so much about this. I loved the strong female characters and the fact that this really centered on friendship. I generally love a good vampire story and this was so good. It was kinda creepy, a little gory, but also fun. The women were relatable. They were just like you and me. And the ending was just so good. If not 5 stars, close enough to give it 5 for me. Loved this one.

I liked this one. It had a lot of good twists. I felt like it consistently kept me guessing which I really liked. I loved the references to Misery throughout. It reminded me of the show The Patient that was recently on and I enjoyed that. I did think it was a bit unbelievable in parts, but overall, I did like it and once I got time to read it I couldn‘t put it down.

I really loved this one. The story sucked me in from the very beginning. It reminded me a little bit of The Haunting of Hill House in some ways with the family history and the pull of the house. It had so many stories within it and I felt like the author put so much work into this story to make it feel real and believable. I thought it was perfectly written and I enjoyed evening about it.

I love horror. I love slashers and this was right up my alley. From the first page I loved this book. It was so much fun and so entertaining. I love the concept and the twists. It actually took me awhile to figure this one out which I also loved. Definitely grab this one if you want a fun horror book to read!

I really liked this one! It had a lot of suspense and a great premise. The reality show setting with all of the characters and their back stories was really entertaining and kept me interested all the way through. I was definitely on the edge of my seat and enjoyed this one.

I didn‘t love this one as much as The Quotable Marathoner, but lots of great tips in here and inspiration. Great ideas on stretching and definitely vital for someone who is about to run their first marathon. Would definitely recommend this one for runners. It was super informative and really helped me a lot with strategy and thought process. Approaching my first marathon in less than 8 weeks! Hopefully I can apply some stuff from this book!

I think maybe this authors style just isn‘t for me. I keep trying and failing with her books. I feel like the writing just doesn‘t get my attention at all and I fall off very early on with her books. This was just okay. It took way too long to go anywhere and it was a struggle only a quarter of the way through for me to keep going.

Whereas I loved the writing and found it to work so perfectly for an Alice in Wonderland continuation, I thought the story was lacking. It just didn‘t have enough to it that was really different and interesting. I agree with a lot of reviews that said that it needed more of Wonderland and less of the parallel story. I wanted more from this, but also a HUGE Alice fan, so I didn‘t hate it because it did have some cool elements.

I just thought this was way too long. I didn‘t like it as much as Luckiest Girl Alive at all. I really thought in the beginning that this was going to be really good and that I would be hooked all the way through but I started to lose interest probably halfway in and it didn‘t get better for me. It was a good idea for a book, just didn‘t work for me.

I just didn‘t love this one as much as In Five Years. It seemed really familiar and predictable. I felt like it was the same story I‘ve read before and didn‘t really offer much of anything new. It was cute. I liked the setting, but I just didn‘t love this one.

There was just something about this one that I didn‘t care for. I don‘t know if it was the style or the story. It felt like it was dragging a lot and I didn‘t care for the characters. It was just okay for me. Kept my interest for the most part, but I didn‘t love it.

This was such a super interesting concept and I really appreciate the setting. It was super relatable for a fantasy book, but I just didn‘t love it. It was a bit scattered for me. There was a lot going on and it took a lot for me to keep my interest. I did like the idea and the story and I may continue on to see where it goes.

Excellent writing. I really loved the characters and the story. The history was really interesting and the strong women throughout this book made for a very empowering story. Not usually a big fan of historical fiction, but Kate Quinn is always a good read and very detailed with her books.

I don‘t know what I was expecting, but I didn‘t love this one as much as I thought I was going to. It was a little dry and I just had a hard time getting through it. Just okay for me.

This was really cute. I liked the characters and the idea but I didn‘t think it was super unique. It‘s a story we have read and watched a million times. Will they won‘t they, friends to lovers and lots of back and forth build up to the end. It was fun. Light read, but nothing super different.

Just okay for me. A little slow in parts, but great descriptive setting and interesting depth to the characters. I just felt like it was dragging a lot and that it could have been a little bit shorter. It needed more suspense in the beginning to draw the reader in and keep them engaged. But, it was interesting enough.

This was a pretty good fantasy. A little bit steamy which I liked and I liked the characters but it definitely was for fantasy lovers. Hard to follow in some parts if you‘re not used to the genre and on audio it was a little tough, but still pretty good. Kept my interest mostly all the way through and I would be interested in reading the rest of the series.

Should have listened to the review on this one. Not for me. Not a fan.

This was pretty good. Definitely a page turner. I liked the story. I don‘t feel like there were too many shocking twists, but it was a really well thought out story, nonetheless. I liked the characters and the theme of very strong women throughout the book. Definitely worthwhile to pick up and one of my favorite authors.
