Another great story from Sarah Addison Allen, moving and interesting and whimsical. Loved it.
Cute, and I was happy to see more of Luc and Oliver, but ultimately felt like it didn't go anywhere. I did enjoy every scene with Odile and Judy though...I'd read a whole book about them!
I didn't know much about this book when I picked it up (it was a recommended read at my local bookstore) and I'm glad that was the case! I loved the writing style and had trouble putting this book down as I was so invested in the characters and the action. I can't wait to read the next installment!
Another spectacular release from Casey McQuiston! Sweet, funny, mysterious...a truly wonderful queer YA romcom with a story that subtly unfolds and a cast of unique and interesting characters. I just finished it and (like all of Casey's other books!) can't wait to read it again.
I don't know why but it took me a long time to really get into this book, and even by the end I wasn't 100% invested in the characters. I did eventually find myself excited by the story but it felt like it took too long to get there. But I will still definitely get the sequel!
Unusual and exciting! A fun, new kind magical school. I can't wait to see what happens next!
So clever and fun, with delightful illustrations and some laugh out loud moments. As a fan of English Murder Village stories and Agatha Christie, I really enjoyed this!
An incredibly engaging read, full of interesting information about how and why we feel, think, and do things. Written with a lot of humor, fun metaphors, and diagrams to help understand what the author is talking about.
Funny, entertaining, and filled with fun and funny illustrations. I already liked pigeons a bit before I read this (I have a soft spot for birds that just don't care), but this made me like them even more!
Fascinating, engaging, and clearly written with a lot of perspective and love. So glad to have read this!
Interesting read that started a bit slow but then picked up (I listened to the audiobook which might have contributed to that)
Edward is the worst.
Somehow this book made him both more sympathetic and more insufferable! I didn't know it was possible to make him more insufferable but I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes about halfway through the first chapter. And the fact that he was already planning on leaving Bella well before the events of New Moon? THE WORST.
Also. There was actually too much vampire baseball, and wayyyyy too much car talk during the race to the ballet studio. Did not care about any of that!
One of these stars is for Jake Abel and Jake Abel alone, because his narration of the audiobook is honestly what kept me going through some of the more infuriating moments of Edward being the worst! Good job, Jake Abel!
Oof. I liked this like I like the rest of the saga, which is begrudgingly and with a healthy dose of eye-rolling.
Incredibly well-written and honestly a bit depressing, but comforting to read because it explains itself in such an eloquent and powerful way. And there's hope in there, too, which it seems we are in need of these days.
A very moving and compelling read! I didn't know anything about haenyeo or Korean history during this time period but after reading this book I'll definitely try to learn more. There were some parts that lagged a little but overall I enjoyed this read and am glad I picked up this book.
Amazing how so few words can resonate so deeply. I appreciated how the structure of the collection, broken into chapters (the hurting, the loving, the breaking, the healing), made it feel more like a flowing narrative.
Stunning. Moves at an almost desperate pace which made it almost impossible to put down.
There was a lot about this that was frustrating but I found myself dying to know what happened next. Looking forward to seeing what the next books have in store.
Heartfelt, fun, and engaging, full of love and heartbreak, rock bottoms and rock and roll. Also one of the best audiobooks I've experienced...this book was made to be listened to. The entire cast was incredible. Highly recommended.
