This was totally a mood read for me. I heard it was a romcom about ghosts and it’s October so I thought, why not. I appreciate the creativity in coming up with a story that is completely different than usual romcoms. That being said, It took me a little bit to get into the story, I wasn’t sure if I liked it until the the last 1/4 of the book but it actually ended much better than what I thought it was going to! There were some strange parts but it’s also a book about ghosts so it totally makes sense!...more

I wasn’t really sure going in to it (I rarely read the back of a book so I go in blind to most things I read) but I liked the characters, the mystery, and the audiobook was *chefs kiss.* I’ll be checking out book 2 when it releases for sure! ...more

I love me some legal thrillers and this one did not disappoint! It’s marketed as a Joe Talbert but it’s all about his girlfriend Lila. Any book that makes me suspect every person is a winner. Having met Lila in 2 previous books, it was refreshing to dig deeper into who she really is and what she has endured. ...more

The Friend Zone is definitely the perfect debut novel to set up this one. I enjoy her little nuggets of how and why she writes her stories. And this story was different than I thought it was going to be, but I appreciate the story Abby gave Sloan! It’s fun to see all the crossover between her books! On to the next one! ...more

A lot of trigger warnings for this one, which is why I’m saying “spoilers.” Addiction while pregnant, infant withdrawal scenes, religious sects and sexual assault. Two sisters with a less than ideal upbringing, and both perspectives of their experiences. My heart was grieving so much for both of them as I listened. Definitely a hard read. Definitely a good read. This one is in the top 3 hardest books I read this year. Kelly Rimmer doesn’t shy away from difficult circumstances in her writing. ...more
