Awful

The Good Bride Guide by Matt Dunn

by Leave a Comment

Wow. I don’t know what to say about this book. Oh yeah, I do. This was terrible. A terrible main character who wants to get married for some really ridiculous reasons who seems to be stalking a woman who is tied to another character he knows. I didn’t laugh once while reading this, though I was told this was supposedly humorous. The main character (Ben) really just needs to be by himself, because even though he is a struggling artist with a terrible place to […]

Was I Supposed to Learn Something???

The Nobodies by Liza Palmer

by Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Oof. I don’t know what to say. I think this book was supposed to be about the death or journalism and impostor syndrome. However, it jumped all around and I maybe went am I supposed to care about this or no? And then it had a weird ending and then love and I maybe went ah well at least I am done. I loved so many of Liza […]

Book Wasn’t A Straight Chick Lit/Romance

Good Enough to Eat by Stacey Ballis

by 10 Comments

All in all a disappointment. I was expecting to read a romance/chick lit type book and it was all over the place. The hero in this one (Nate) really sucked. And the heroine (Melanie) wasn’t great either. Other reviewers complained about the constant speech making by everyone involved and I have to agree. Real people do not speak like this. Ballis definitely knows her way around a stove though. The recipes that she included sounded awesome and were honestly the only reason why I gave […]

Ehhh…

The One Who's Not the One by Keris Stainton

by Leave a Comment

I honestly don’t know what to say. I liked the character Cat and her friendship with Kelly and how much she loved her, Kelly’s son, and Kelly’s husband. That said, the whole book revolves about her getting feelings for her ex’s brother. If that part had been cut out I would have loved it. Cat is a former stand up comic who quit after her ex-boyfriend Sam (also a comic) moved to Australia 5 years ago and never came back. Cat we find out has […]

A Strong 3.5 Star Book

Tis the Season to be Single by Laura Ziepe

by Leave a Comment

This is a very strong 3.5 star book. It could have been higher if one of the story-lines (Grace’s) had been a bit tighter and actually full of tension. Most of her story-line was self-inflicted and I thought her hiding what she was up to was beyond ridiculous. I really loved Amber and Rachel’s storyline. I always get a kick out of romance novels set during holiday events so this one was a nice pick me up due to the winter blues that I have […]

Love Story Between Two Sisters

How to Walk Away by Katherine Center

by Leave a Comment

I ended up reading another book by Center and wanted to revisit her other books. I honestly liked this one, but didn’t really need the romance for the main character (Margaret). Also I am not a fan of male characters ignoring it when a female character tells you what their name is and they refuse to use it. I swear I have seen this happen in other romance books and I want everyone to just stop putting that in there. The love story to me […]
