It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
5.0
Well, this was my first CoHo book. My heart hurts, and I love that.
This book was full of so many emotions. I even cried reading this book - not because the book was sad, but because I became afraid- afraid to not experience the passion you can feel during life - not feel as much as these characters can. The good and the ugly.
It Ends With Us was predictable in all the ways I want a book like this to be.
I’ve seen a lot of hate about the Ellen letters, and as someone who also grew up watching Ellen, I think it was relatable and realistic, but absolutely funny and a wild choice and a perfect addition to the book.

Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win by Jocko Willink, Leif Babin
4.0
I listed to the Audio-book.
It's a great book for mind-set. The basic theme is in its title - Extreme Ownership.
Own up to what you have or have-not done and you will probably be surprised at the outcomes from it.

All I Want for Christmas by Maggie Knox

If a hallmark movie was a book - this would be it.
Easy to read. Usually these books pull at my heart and love side of me more, but I found they flipped too much between love and hate quickly to really fall in love with them (even though it was going to happen) Lacked some deeper connecting points and I don’t know how Max can be so dense about things like Cuz, and then with no new information finally “understands it”.
But hey, it’s an easy to read Christmas book.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
2.0
For how easy this series was to read as a youth - this was a tough read. Just dry. I didn’t want to read to get into the story, just to keep getting through the book.
The last 1/4 of the book really helped paint Snow as a person but should have been more of the book. The middle was just so blah.
How the story ended with Lucy Gray was mega disappointing and left me unsatisfied as well. Just so quickly took a left turn.

The Therapist by B.A. Paris
4.0
It was right in front of our nose the whole time.
While reading it was so easy to assume who we thought the killer was - I was almost afraid to be right as it would be so obvious. Maybe to others who the actual killer ended up being obvious, but not to me.
If I read it a second time I think it would be less enjoyable but I found it shocking, easy to read and enjoyable.
