When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry

 If you thought I hated Great Big Boring Life, just wait until you hear about my thoughts on this one! Seriously, I think Emily Henry and I are about to break up forever. It’s not me, it’s her. The premise for this book was really fantastic, but the execution was a total failure. The characters weren’t engaging, and I found myself hate reading this one. There are too many monotonous characters that run together, and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. There was supposed to be a found family trope somewhere in this one, but maybe I missed it because I was too busy rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it all. Speaking of stupidity, let’s talk about this “ending.” This ending filled me so full of rage that I was stomping around my house yelling “do you believe this crap” to my dog. Spoiler alert, she didn’t get it either.  I would say the only good thing about this book is the cover, but that’s ruined because of the steaming pile of trash that was the ending, so I can’t ...

When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry

 Emily Henry is really testing my patience with this one. I felt like the premise was great, but the execution was horrible. This could not have been more boring. The characters weren’t engaging, and by the end I found myself hate reading this. Never again.

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage

 This was a fantastic way to end the series. I love Rebel Blue so much, and I will deeply miss reading about the ranch and all of the characters I have grown to love so much. Cam and Dusty’s story was truly exquisite, and this was such a beautiful story to end on.

Love Bites by Aimee Vance and B. Perkins

 I really can’t say too much about the actual story without spoiling it, but trust me when I say that this book is worth every second you’ll spend reading it! The characters are incredible, the banter is off the charts, and this book just feels like the warmest of hugs. These books just feel like coming back home.

Rose in Chains by Julie Soto

 I listened to this one and the audio just seemed to drag on and on. I didn’t super love the story. I’m not sure if I’d continue the story. Maybe this one just wasn’t for me, given the rave reviews everyone else gave it.

A Highly Improbably Meet Cute by Haley Klinge

I really wasn’t a fan of this one, but I was so sure I thought I would love it. The characters were just so immature that it was hard to find any of them charming. I didn’t really think the jokes were all that funny. Maybe I just read this one at the wrong time, or maybe it just wasn’t for me.

What Comes After by Joanne Tompkins

 I couldn’t remember much about this book since I finished it so long ago, so I had to do a memory refresher. Boy, am I sorry I did that! Short synopsis of the book: Two teenage boys shockingly die, and a pregnant teen girl shows up from the woods and into the lives of their families. The parents feel her timing is a blessing, but it’s clear she’s hiding something. She and the parents are eventually forced to deal with what happened to the boys, and why she was so entangled with them to begin with. Sounds like a bunch of mysterious drama right? False. This book was entirely too long and boring. The author tries to convince you that there’s some deep conspiracy going on, but what’s actually happening is shallow and not worth reading hundreds of pages. The boys are not as innocent as they appear to be, and the reveal of what happened to them is icky and not something you need in your head, however temporary that may be. One of the parents also decides to go back to his Quaker faith a...
