Let's Make a Scene

Laura Wood

DID NOT FINISH: 35%

DNF at 100 pages. The story was just not grabbing my attention. I typically dont mind dual timelines but this has all been focused on the past and I am just not interested. 

Thank you @atriabooks for a copy of the book.

Backhanded Compliments

Katie Chandler

DID NOT FINISH: 5%

DNF at 5%. I was not expecting magical realism in this story and it didn't feel right in this setting. I lost interest once that was introduced. 

Thank you @atriabooks for a copy of this book.

Courtroom Drama

Neely Tubati Alexander

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

DNF at 40%. The premise sounded interesting, it's
promoted as Legally Blonde and Jury Duty meets the Housewives franchise. I struggled with the story with Sydney's obsession with Margot and how she was selected when she already had a bias. 

There was a lot of internal dialogue and the wrong lyric thing get annoying for me. I couldn't get past these points to move on with the story. 

I do enjoy romances when it's dual POV. This was narrated by Cindy Kay and it was just Sydney's POV. 

Thank you @libro.fm for a copy of the audiobook.

The Sirens

Emilia Hart

DNF'd at 20%. Just could not get I into the storyline. 

Thank you @macmillan.audio for a copy of the audioboook. 

White Line Fever

KC Jones

DID NOT FINISH: 45%

DNF at 45%. This was just not for me. I wasn't really following the story line. Are they just manifesting their fears? I had no idea what was going on and the pacing was slow. I expected more creepy vibes but didn't get it. 

Thank you @macmillan.audio for a copy of this.

When We Grow Up

Angelica Baker

DID NOT FINISH: 20%


DNF at 20%. I was intrigued by the premise with friends going to Hawaii. The characters sounded so immature and annoying that I could not continue. 

There was 1 narrator (Imani Jade Powers) and wished there was multiple narrators because I couldn't keep which POV I was listening to. 

Thank you @macmillan.audio for a copy of this.

Kade

Tijan

DID NOT FINISH: 20%


DNF at 20%. I haven't read the other books in this series and may try to read it in order to see if I will enjoy it. 

There was just too many characters for me to keep track on audio. 

Thank you @dreamscape_media for the audiobook. 



You Between the Lines

Katie Naymon

DID NOT FINISH: 20%


DNF at 20%. This one just wasn't for me. I was intrigued by the premise but I could not get into it. I don't know how many times MFA was mentioned but it felt like it was every paragraph. 

Thank you @readforeverpub for a copy of the book.
