June 2019 Book Reviews

Books· Uncategorized

Happy July, y’all! I’m WAY behind on monthly book reviews, so I’m going to be playing catch up this week and sharing my book reviews from April, May, and June. Today I’m talking about the books I read this past month. 🙂
I know Who You Are by Alice Feeney
I had an ARC of Alice Feeney’s newest book sitting on my shelf for months before I finally read it. You know when you hope you love a book so much that you’re scared to read it because you don’t want to be disappointed? That’s how I was with this book. I LOVED Alice Feeney’s first book, Sometimes I Lie, and I was so worried that this one wouldn’t be as good. I was wrong.
This book was SO good. The ending is definitely unique and a bit controversial, but I absolutely loved it! I was left with many questions, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!  
Thanks, Flatiron Books, for sending me a copy of this one!
The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary
I’ve been eyeing The Flatshare since the winter. I mean, how cute is this cover?? And the storyline sounded so cute, too. It’s about a girl and a guy who share an apartment together, but they never actually see each other because of their work schedules, so they start leaving little notes for each other and eventually they fall in love. I really liked this one, but I didn’t love it. I thought it had the potential to be much cuter than it actually was.
Mine by Courtney Cole
Mine is a thriller that is definitely action packed! It all takes place in one night and in one place-which I have discovered is not my thing. I know so many people love that kind of story, but I’m not really a fan. This one was a ton of action that led to nothing in my opinion. I really didn’t like this one, but I know a lot of people who love it, so I still say give it a go! 
Thanks to Gallery books for sending me a copy of this one!

The Last Time I Saw You by Liv Constantine
Just like with Alice Feeney’s newest book, I was scared to read Liv Constantine’s newest release because I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish so much. And again, I LOVED this one! I had so many theories about this one and some of them turned out true and some were total shockers. I highly recommend this thriller!
The Prenup by Lauren Layne
I finished out the month with an ARC of Lauren Layne’s upcoming book, The Prenup. Y’all, this is my favorite LL book to date. It’s such a funny and witty romance about a girl and a guy who married 10 years ago, but have lived on different coasts ever since. They come together to get divorced, but discover that their prenup says they have to live together for at least 3 months. It’s such a sweet story. I highly recommend this one! 🙂

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

November reading wrap up Yall, I’ve been so bad November reading wrap up

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the tagged publishers for the gifted copies!
This WILL BE the year I *finally* read Elin Hilder This WILL BE the year I *finally* read Elin Hilderbrand’s holiday series. This has been on my list for years and year! Have y’all read it?? #holidayreading #elinhilderbrand #winterstreet #christmasbooks #booksbooksbooks
Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
