Audiobook Review: None of This is True by Lisa Jewell

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 25, 2023 | 0 Comments

Holy shit, this book was insane!! I honestly have no idea, even after finishing, what was actually true and what wasn’t. The title is apt because there were so many lies you never knew what to believe! I’ve been seeking out more mystery thrillers lately, but I don’t have much experience with psychological thrillers. I ended up loving it because it totally fucks with your head. It started off a little slow, but once crazy things start happening, it grabs […]

Review: A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

Okay, so to understand why I picked this up and why it was so poignant for me, I have to get really personal for a minute. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, which has spread to his bone, brain, and kidneys; he recently stopped chemo and was given 3-6 weeks to live. I’ve been looking for books dealing with loss, and this one popped up in my search a few times and I passed it by because, […]

Review: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

Trigger warning: Abuse To be completely honest, I never would have picked this book up on my own. I’m not a contemporary fan, and I’m even less of a romance fan. But, my good friend Erin highly recommended it – and in the utmost form of bookpushing, sent me a copy. So, I gave it a go – and I ended up being pleasantly surprised! I never thought I’d enjoy it as much as I did. It’s definitely not something I […]

Review: The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay

Wow. I haven’t read a contemporary that affected me so much since Before I Fall! This story was beautiful, guys. It had me sobbing! I loved Nastya. LOVED her. She was so awesome! She was witty and hilarious, she was strong, and she didn’t give a f*ck what anyone thought of her. Plus, she was interesting. I wish she were real so we could be friends! I don’t dress this way because I like it so much or because I want people to […]

Review: Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on December 26, 2012 | 0 Comments

I honestly don’t know how I felt about this book. There were times I loved it, times I hated it, and times when it just flat out pissed me off. It was a crazy and aggravating emotional rollercoaster. The title is absolutely perfect for it! The main reason for the times I hated this book was Abby. She was pretty normal in the beginning, but just started to tick me off in the last half. Her ignorance made me want […]
