I got bored with all the science details
I never fell in love with the heroine, but I liked the hero a lot. It‘s the first in a trilogy and I hope my library obtains the other two 🤞🏽
My 2nd book by this author. I enjoyed it more than The Flatshare, but I‘m wondering if I‘m missing something with this author of if I haven‘t been in the right mood for her 🤔
This was a long one. It had a saga-like feel, and it took a minute to get absorbed into the story, but I ultimately liked it. A fun visit back to the 90s. Could have done with an epilogue, but that‘s what I almost always say.
Meh. Sir Candle Man has a large following in the candle community and his IG stories can be fun, but this book was not my favorite. I found the section on decorating with candles to be a little strange.
Some good advice, but I didn‘t care for the writer‘s style/voice.
I love kitchen memoirs and this one was quite cozy 💖 I‘ve ordered a paper copy already
I stumbled upon this book when searching for an Earl Grey scented candle. Someone recommended Laurel Mercantile‘s Tudor candle. Haven‘t bought the candle yet, but did manage to watch one episode of their show. The book leaned more Christian than I anticipated. They seem like a very sweet couple.
LOVED the heroine and her kids 💖 This one had me in tears at one point, but that could also be pms 🤷🏻♀️
Another one I had to listen to twice because I had difficulty keeping track of who was who the first time around. Jonah/Jude/Jules. Tough in an audiobook.
I did like the story though. I love reading about friends and family banding together in difficult situations; love details and the nitty gritty about people‘s daily lives; love inside jokes 💖
So many characters that it took me half the book to even care about them. Had to go back and listen again so that I could enjoy the story the 2nd time when I already knew the characters and had the lay of the land.
Some interesting trivia. I get why they can‘t include bits of the songs in the audiobook. Good news is that someone already put together a Spotify playlist 🙌🏽
Thoughtful approach to parenting, focused on connection (rather than trying to control behavior) in order to raise secure and self-possessed people.
I love magical realism. This one was ok, fine, meh.
In turns vulgar, funny, and sweet. It‘s not for everyone, but I liked it.
Didn‘t love it but liked it A LOT.
It‘s gentle; no real dramatic highs and lows, but that was a good thing. The couple is in their late 30s and are mature and for the most part, well adjusted. I liked both of them 😊
It actually lived up to the hype!
I was worried that it would take a while to get immersed into this world but it wasn‘t hard at all 🙌🏽
This was fine. I didn‘t fall in love with either of the main characters; nothing wrong with them, but they didn‘t feel special. The character I liked the most was the hero‘s ex-wife; she was minor but great.
Another pair of boys to love 💕 This prequel is just as good as the first book, and it was fun to catch glimpses of the boys in the original book several years before their story happens.
Very good sequel. Better than I was expecting. Even teared up near the end 🥲 Love these boys!
Don‘t know if I would have liked it as much if I hadn‘t seen season 1 of the show first 🤷🏻♀️
My first by this author and now I‘m a fan. It was a gentle and thoughtful one to listen to and it suit my mood 💙
Re-read it after multiple movie watches. Teared up during the election night part. Love this story 💖
It‘s a relatively gentle and quiet book and so it took me a while to get into it. Ultimately got sucked in and enjoyed it ☕️
There‘s a Big Misunderstanding 👎🏽 (I hate those so much!) but the characters and ending are so good that it‘s worth it ❤️
An easy listen; Tom came off as sweet and earnest ✨✨✨
There were several parts where I actually LOL‘d. And I like how these two didn‘t give up on each other and actually talked about their feelings ❤️
Good, simple, and straightforward love story. All the twists are in the book blurb so no surprises 👍🏽
I‘m bailing an hour and half (10%) into the book. I didn‘t realize it was the beginning of a trilogy and I‘m just not that invested 🤷🏻♀️
Surprisingly, I liked this sequel more than the first book 🌸🌸🌸
This Japanese American take on The Princess Diaries is knowingly full of cliches, but I like it enough to immediately download the sequel 🇯🇵🇺🇸👸🏻
Zoned out quite a bit when listening to this one
Smart, disturbing, and entertaining. I feel a little bad for being so entertained by it.
Made Phil‘s Brownies from the book. Subbed walnuts for the almonds. They‘re pretty good!
I rarely bail on a book but I‘m quitting this one at 56% on this one. Narrator‘s voice is wrong for the heroine, the sister character is cartoon-awful, and I‘m just bored. Such a bummer because I‘d been looking forward to this one for a while 👎🏽
Cute! It‘s been a while since I read the previous book but I felt like there were a lot of bumps in the story in this one. Still looking forward to the next one, though 🏳️🌈
It‘s good. Not just romance but also friendship and family and grief.
I still think that the couple‘s initial break up is dumb, but then I haven‘t been in their situation.
Loved all the references to other romance novels and romance authors! But it was weird for a while thinking the heroine was falling in love with a ghost
Borrowed from the library and now I‘m going to need to buy a copy. Lots of good stuff in here
Lots of interesting bits, but it‘s pretty long and I spaced out a lot
A gay Notting Hill 🙌🏽 Unfortunately, I didn‘t love it was much as I expected to. But yay for gay romances 🏳️🌈♥️🏳️🌈
I alternated between feelings of admiration and sympathy, and irritation and dislike for Harry and Meghan, both as individuals and as a couple
One of the better books I‘ve read about the British Royals 👑
Loved this one! Such a good feeling when you‘ve got a book you can‘t wait to get back to. Loved the friendship and the parent/child relationship. Only thing missing was a definitive epilogue.
A grump/sunshine romance. Nice moments between friends, nice moments between siblings, but I‘m not sure I understand how these two fell in love.
PG-13 slow burn romance. Been a while since I‘ve read something with characters that I like, and I almost teared up at one point. I thought it was pretty good. However, a point off for no epilogue.
