My Thoughts
THE STORIED LIFE OF A.J. FIKRY is a beautifully written bittersweet story about love, loss, grief, healing, and second chances. At first, I didn’t really like A.J. He was too curmudgeonly for my taste, but he grew on me. I loved his relationship with Maya and Amy, his friends, and his patrons. I loved his enthusiasm for books and reading, even if his tastes were a little too hoity-toity for me. I loved reading his character growth.

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 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!
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.
