The Last Thing He Told Me

The Last Thing He Told Me

I think the best way to describe The Last Thing He Told Me would be to compare it to a trainwreck. It started out fine and (somewhat) harmless but it slowly started to go off the tracks. The gist of the story is that Owen goes on the run after the company he works for […]

Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen

Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen

I went through a phase where I read Reese Witherspoon’s book club selections. Reese Witherspoon’s so-called “tagline” was that she picks books that focus on strong female characters and stories. Sadly, that was not the case with Counterfeit. The main character Ava was anything but, Ava was easily manipulated, weak, and incredibly unlikeable. Typically, I […]

Audiobook Review: The Light We Lost by Jill Santpolo

Audiobook Review: The Light We Lost by Jill Santpolo

Reading Progress Review I had been looking forward to listening to The Light We Lost, but unfortunately it was a snoozefest.  With the lead character, Lucy continuously bemoaning what could have been, it got a little repetitive and with a lack of character development or depth to the plot, it quickly became tedious. Lucy disappointed […]

Audiobook Review: The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

Audiobook Review: The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory

Goodreads Updates Final Impressions I wasn’t expecting much from The Proposal to begin with. I was hoping for a fun romance with a bit of plot outside of the bedroom. Instead, I got an insipid plot with one dimensional characters. Top if off with the TMI romance scenes and I’m surprised I made it all […]
