My Thoughts

I loved P.S. I HATE YOU so much! It was such a sweet story about love, loss, betrayal, grief, forgiveness, and second chances. I felt for Maddie and the loss of her brother trying to navigate the world alone. I also felt for Dom, the loss of his best friend, his divorce, and everything imploding around him. I cried more than once and stayed for the slow-burn spicy romance. Maddie and Dom’s chemistry, snarky banter, and sexual tension were off the charts, making this a delight to read. I didn’t even mind the time skipping due to the nature of the story.

My Thoughts

I love, love, loved PROJECT HAIL MARY! The story was fascinating, suspenseful, thought-provoking, and gave me all the feels. It’s also so very readable. I was completely hooked as soon as I started reading and I’ll be thinking about this one for a very long time. I loved both Grace and Rocky so much, especially Rocky. I loved their relationship, how they learned to communicate with each other, and how deep their friendship became. The audiobook was definitely the way to read this because of how Rocky communicates. It just made it so much more fun to listen to. I’m so glad I decided to read this before the movie comes out next year.

My Thoughts

That ending! Holy crap! I’m so glad I waited until the sequel was already published because I need to read it now!

THE HEARTLESS HUNTER was a fun slow-burn romantasy with lots of political intrigue, a somewhat dystopian society, and interesting characters. I really enjoyed the story and I’m so curious how it’s all going to end.

My Thoughts

THE SIRENS OF TITAN is so different from most books I’ve read. It was mildly entertaining with interesting views on free will, fatalism, and manipulation. I liked that the story made me think and challenge my own views and beliefs of the universe, God, and people. However, I’m not really a huge fan of satire and that aspect hindered my enjoyment of the story. I’m glad I read this book at least once, but I’ll never read it again and I’m glad it’s over.
