First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen
4.0
I really enjoyed reading the follow up novel to Garden Spells by Addison Allen. I found it enjoyable and I was glad to see Bay grown up and accepting of herself as a Waverly. Some of the characters fell a little flat for me, but one character that made me feel something was Violet. How could she just do that to her baby? Also, I feel as though the ending was a bit rushed and just sort of done so the book could be finished. While I'm glad Sydney ended up with Charlie, I was a bit disappointed because it felt like a bit of a cop out. I'd love to learn more about Violet and her background.
The Selection by Kiera Cass
4.0
I like a lot of YA even though it’s not marketed to me. The first book in The Selection Series did not disappoint! I loved how Cass introduced her characters and explained the caste system throughout the book instead of bombarding the reader all at once with too much info. Cass has a very nice writing style and I can’t wait to see how she progresses into the rest of the series.
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
5.0
Amazing writing I listened to the audiobook and it did not disappoint! I love how Quinn encompasses all types of love in this novel. Romantic love, family love, love for oneself, and love for things. It’s really a great novel about WWII but it’s so much more than that!
When It's Real by Erin Watt
4.0
Enjoyed this cute YA romance. Loved getting to know the characters. While both were the typical rich spoiled kids, I felt that it was a great read for those looking for a quick escape. It's definitely a more mature YA from my standpoint, so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 13 years old.
Truth, Lies, and Second Dates by MaryJanice Davidson
3.0
Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
Truth, Lies, and Second Dates was a fun romance read. I liked Ava as a powerful female character, but she was a bit brash at times. The dialogue was a little confusing at times because I felt like conversations picked up and left off at different points that as a reader, I was left out of.. The other characters were funny and light-hearted, but I didn't really think any of them were super likeable nor did I feel any connectedness to them.
I'm giving this book three stars because it was an interesting read and I really enjoyed Ava as a female lead. I do think this book seemed rushed, or maybe I just rushed through it. It was a fairly quick read which I appreciated. It was a nice break from the more serious reading I've been doing.
