Two Romances, Two Different Responses

The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

September 3, 2020 by Jen K 1 Comment

The Worst Best Man (4 stars) 3 years ago, Lina’s fiance Andrew broke up with her the morning of their wedding – via a text to his brother, Max. After a drunken night, Max woke up to a text that whatever he had said had made Andrew realize it wasn’t right. Unfortunately Max can’t remember the night before, but he bites the bullet and breaks the news. By association (not to mention his mysterious advice), Max ranks right up there with Andrew on the asshole brother […]

“If something keeps you human when pressure makes you feel like a volcano, hold on to that thing by any means necessary.” (Bingo #2)

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

August 2, 2020 by Malin 4 Comments

#CBR12 Bingo: Yellow Official book description: Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits—someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom.   When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace […]

Official book description: Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items? • Enjoy a drunken night out.  • Ride a motorcycle. • Go camping. • Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex. • Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage. • And… do something […]

    on And I for one welcome our new feathered overlords
    Great review of a very interesting book. I love how, after reading Brusatte’s book, my brain is now fully changed...

    on “After it’s over, of course, you want to kick yourself for all the things you didn’t see at the time. The Had-I-But-Known school of private investigation perhaps.”
    I remember binging on these books so fondly.

    on “To be so ravenous with desperation that the only way out is complete and utter annihilation. A torpedo made of your own sharpened body.”- Senaa Ahmad (or me about wanting to quit this book)
    I suspect I got more enjoyment reading your review than you did of the actual book. "Jail, jail for author...

    on I don’t do torture
    I wish I had read this review before I bought this Audible book. I am just at the halfway point...
