Over the top cheesy and very racy. Still entertaining if you are OK with eye rolling with some regularity.

As someone who lives in South Jersey, it was very interesting to read about the region, it's history and some of the ecological concerns that existed at the time from a proposed massive "jetport" and "megapolis".
I listened to the 2023 audiobook recording.

Slightly ridiculous and very entertaining. Audiobook with a full cast, really more like a audio-play. Magic demons, gods, vampires, fairies, and lore, plus modern day tech and geeky references.

Light YA high school story, not too deep, but quite touching.

I don't think this book translated well to the audiobook format. But I still found it interesting and chock full of neat tidbits

Nice weekend read. Having grown up in Utah, I'm always delighted to stumble into a book that takes place there. I found this book after seeing that a movie was made about it, so I wanted to read the book first. I'm glad I did.

Modern college romance in London. Fake dating trope. Loved the narration of this audio book it really brought the characters to life.
The plot summary sounds entertaining, but the narration and the writing style turned me off hard in the first 10 minutes. The cadence and intonation was a non-starter unfortunately.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and understand why there is such a wait for it at the library. It's nostalgic, it's complicated, it's emotional, realistic and engaging. It's not all happy and it's not all sad. Hooked from the start to the end.
