Hello Ela, I will choose your book but we are not friends in Goodreads, please accept my invite :)"

Done..."

Ela I chose for you
Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard, #1) by Christina Lauren , I tried to choose one that I read but there is none on your list so I chose one that I also want to read, so I hope you like it 😉

Dang, Michele, you did not make it easy...you had so many great books on your list for me to choose from. It was *really hard*. I mean, seriously. But, at the end of the day, I had to go with a true 5 star from me, and like Robin says...we all know how truly picky I am, 😂🤣😂 so, for you, my dear friend, I pick, The Five Stages of Falling in Love by Rachel Higginson ...I hope you love it as much as I did!

Lisa Aiello (lisaaiello) | 2460 comments Done with When August Ends by Penelope Ward . 4 stars for me. I absolutely loved it. It was sexy, swoony, without over the top drama or angst. Just a feel good kind of story, with characters who actually communicate! Would have been 5 stars if there had been a bit more about how they built their connection. Thank you for my pick!!! I loooooooooove an older man, younger woman story!!


message 109: by Teri (new)

Teri (ldyridr) | 85 comments Holy mind-reeling F'ery! I just finished with Verity by Colleen Hoover and give this book a good 4.5 stars. I cannot even imagine! Locks on doors, hidden cubbies, lies, secrets.. Aghhh! IDK, but I think I would have ended up in the nut house! Anyone out there looking for a good psych/thriller/romance. Ding, Ding, Ding! Here it is. Thanks for the pick Layne!!

Leslie | 2430 comments Jean wrote: "That's really good Leslie!"

It is, but....I'm still broken. I liked it, I wasnt bored at all or felt need to skim (thank goodness because that seems to be norm for me) but I didn't "feel". Not sure how to explain it. I didnt swoon, get goosebumps, tear up, etc. Does that make sense? Ugh! I'm sick of listening to myself complain. Im sure you guys are all sick of it too.


message 115: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments Don't give up Leslie. You'll find that gem that gives you all the feels!!!

Yay! Kim!! I think i mentioned that Mystery Man was my first KA book. With the way the story opened, I wasn't sure at first if it was going to work for me, but instead it remains my favorite of her books.

I've got to read this book. I heard Maryse gush about it for months and told myself I was going to read is 'soon', but I still haven't done so. And seeing that it's 'snot-flowing' makes me want to read it even more!!! What a wonderful adjective, Michele!! 😭
