My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I am pretty torn with this one. When it first started, I was really enjoying everything about this. I am not a huge fan of books that jump from one time frame to another, but worked well when jumping 15 years ago and back to the present.
This started to lose me in the second half. I had some pacing issues. Right when you should be getting to the peak of the mystery, this dragged on and on. There were so many added details that just took away from the excitement of what was happening. They really did do anything for the twists and turns to the story or even to the current things happening. I also found since so many things were being thrown in, that is got a little confusing. I had no clue what one thing had to do with another at times.

This one had potential, but just shifted to being ok.

I was sent this book from the publisher/publicity team. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review.

This is actually the second book in The Friend Zone series. This does follow different characters and you do not have to read book one to read and enjoy this one. I actually liked this one more than I liked book one.

I will say, I am not normally a huge fan of stories that involve rock stars. That was the only aspect of this story that I really did not care for. The story around Jason and Sloan’s romance was pretty typical when dealing with one character who is famous. Otherwise, I was huge fans of both Sloan and Jason and were wanting them to make it work.

This was a really quick read and exactly what I needed right now. It hit on some more hard hitting topics like loss of a loved one, celebrity life, and substance abuse. It had just enough added to keep my interest.

Overall, I enjoyed this one.

Did you love the movie Hitch? As soon as this one started that is the vibe that I got: a modern day Hitch around online dating! I was hooked. Sadly, this ended up taking a turn for the worse after the quirky and fun beginning.

There is little to no romance within the first half of this though. It was a little slow and boring as you hear how both Zoey and Miles are helping others get their dating profiles together. I wanted more interactions with the two of them. Those were the moments that I looked forward too and found myself interested in the story. There were just not enough of them to keep my interest.

Sadly, this was a DNF from me.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I just do not get it! I was super excited for this one as some of my favorites had this as a top read of the year. I was expecting to really love it, but it just did not work for me.
When this started with information around January and her family issues, I thought I was going to love this. Then everything took a turn and I found myself losing interest in the story. I actually put this down as I was just not enjoying it at all. I picked it back up hoping that my feelings would change. They did not.

I had issues with pacing. I found myself bored and uninterested in some of the smaller details. I guess I just did not connect with the characters or the storyline. Overall, this one was pretty disappointing

I have always wanted to read a book from Katherine Center as I have heard great things about her previous works. Sadly, this one did not work for me.
I absolutely loved the beginning of this story when we first get introduced to Samantha and her life. I was hooked and thought I was going to fly through this. Sadly, this one lost me after the introduction scenes.

This does deal with adults, but it was very YA to be in how the characters were acting. I did not think it made any sense how Samantha fell so in love with Duncan when he did not even know her. Again, this was more of a younger character story for me. She ended up leaving her job and moving away to nothing over a guy who did not know her.

Once Duncan arrives to her new school, of all places, the story still did not pick up for me. It was slow and there were too many details that I just did not care about. I found myself a little bored and skimming to find out what happened.

I will still try some other work from the author as others seem to feel the same way about this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was sent this book from the publisher/publicity team. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review.

This was my first book by Ann Gabhart, and it will not be my last. I really loved her writing style and her story telling abilities. I was wrapped up into this story and loved every second of it.

If you love romance and historical fiction, you need to add this one to your list. This story follows Piper during the Great Depression and follows her as a frontier nurse in the Appalachian Mountains. I just love reading stories set around these times.

Overall, this was an amazing story and I look forward to reading more from this author.

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This one started off pretty promising, but ended up just not being for me. I enjoyed part one and everything going on with the current day. I did not really like how it jumped from past and present with no explanations. Even though it all comes together in the end, it almost felt like several smaller stories in one. There was not enough connecting the past and the current to keep my interest.

I just did not love how this all played out. I found myself bored and skimming to get to the end.
