4.5

Somewhere between a 4.5-5 star 

This was good until the final conflict then it kinda just became unrealistic but was still sooooo good.  The unreliable narrator aspect was soooo good. The ending was exactly what I needed. Completely unexpected and made me want more. 


Things I Should Have Said by Jamie Lynn Spears

I went into this with an open mind after listening to Britney Spears memoir and was really enjoying it until she started to talk about everything that occurred with Britney's conservatorship. Standing behind abusive people is something that I am never able to support. Allowing your kids to be around those people is not something that should be okay.

I’ll start with the obvious. Do not listen to this audiobook on a hike in the secluded woods in the dark or do. It added to the vibe of the story. 

I could not stop listening once I started. I didn’t predict the twists and I loved the unreliable narration throughout the story.

A really solid hockey romance. Was a great audiobook to listen to while hiking.

This was nothing revolutionary just a quick and easy read. Did have Gilmore Girls vibes but not to the extreme. Would've hit different in the fall if I was reading in my hammock but I put it off for too long. Still a good read. Would read again and recommend if someone was looking for a cozy easy read.

I feel like an outlier because I really didn't like this book. I DNF'd it after a certain point and although it was beautifully written it felt like a knock off of little women. WHICH you would think I would love since Little Women is one of my favorite books but it just wasn't. 

I wanted to love it but it just wasn't for me.

This was so long that at times it draggedddd. But it was good.

I’ve heard only good things about this book but I was just bored out of my mind listening to it. Probably a personal problem and would probably still recommend to others that I feel would enjoy this more than me.

Man oh man. How the cookie has crumbled. I honestly half listened to this and was very bored and will probably be DNFing the series at this point unless I'm like mega bored and have no other books with me. 

I still cannot figure out how this series was life changing to some.

This sequel actually felt necessary unlike a different sequel that came out earlier this year. 

Listening to how Rowan and Neil learning to grow together as the distance between them grows was very interesting especially since we didn’t get to see much of them together during the last book.
