It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover was another exciting library find for me. This was my first Colleen Hoover read, recommended by my lovely bookstagram friends. And it did NOT disappoint. This one blew me away, becoming my fourth 5-star read of 2021, and my 11th book review! I tend to lean towards thriller…

An Unapologetic Review of The Last Flight
A bookish friend of mine recently read this book in a day, and once I read the overview, I knew I had to read this to my TBR list. Since I’m trying to be a real adult and pay off all my debt in 2021, hence cutting back (okay, significantly slashing) my book allowance, I…
An Unapologetic Review of The Half Sister
As you have probably already guessed from my previous posts and reading choices, I love a good suspense/thriller. At this stage in my life, the romance/chick lit books just aren’t doing it for me anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll slip a good “palette cleanser” book into the mix every so often when I need…
An Unapologetic [NetGalley] Review of When the Stars Go Dark
Y’all, I am SO excited to share my very first NetGalley review with you! I started my Bookstagram a little over a month ago and we’re at just over 800 followers. WHAT! I was so stoked when NetGalley agreed to let me read and review this book. I’d heard of Paula McLain’s The Paris Wife,…
An Unapologetic Review of Dear Child by Romy Hausmann
I recently saw Dear Child by Romy Hausmann pop up in my bookstagram feed, and saw it described as “Room meets Gone Girl”–and that sounded right up my alley. I absolutely loved Room–it reminded me of the way I felt while reading A Child Called It when I was in high school. Not really the…
An Unapologetic Review of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things
As a newbie to BOTM, my monthly boxes almost always included the books that seemed all the rage in the #botm Facebook groups and discussion boards. This is how I ended up with All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood in my TBR pile. When I read the synopsis, I moved it right…
An Unapologetic Review of Luckiest Girl Alive
I’ve had Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll in my TBR pile for at least 4 years. I tried to start it on two separate occasions, and both times I was like “ugh, this bitch is too much of a perfectionist” and TifAni Fanelli annoyed me. But I decided to pick it back up and…
An Unapologetic Review of The Push
As you probably already know, I am obsessed with my Book of the Month subscription. My addiction has gotten infinitely “worse” (I would say “more devoted,” my husband would disagree with this word choice) since I discovered the Facebook groups dedicated to buying, selling, and swapping book selections. So, I get one book every month…
An Unapologetic Review of The House in the Cerulean Sea
A book-loving friend recently posted that she was reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune, and when I read the synopsis, this quickly became my most anticipated book of 2020. It sounded like the perfect blend of Harry Potter meets Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,with some 1984 and Umbrella Academy thrown…
An Unapologetic Review of In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
Okay, before we dive into the review of this delightfully festive, light and airy Christmasy novel, I wanted to share something I learned about the author: or, as I learned, authors. Christina Lauren is actually the pen name for longtime best buds and writing partners, Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. They’ve written several other books…
