Pick-Up

Nora Dahlia

DID NOT FINISH: 70%


DNF at 70%. The story just dragged for me and didn't feel like much was happening. The extra POV felt useless. The romance was a bit awkward and not fully developed. 

I did enjoy the narration of Teddy Hamilton, Gilli Messer and Eunice Wong. 

Thank you @simon.audio for a copy of this audiobook.

A Lesson in Thorns

This one didn't grab my attention. It has all been a big setup for these virgins to have sex. 

The Worst Wedding Date

Pippa Grant

DID NOT FINISH: 17%


DNF at chapter 4. It has been so repetitive...I get it Theo is happy go lucky and Laney is miss prim and proper and is assigned to keep Theo in line for her BFF's wedding. We don't need this repeated back to me 1000x in 4 chapters. 

Thank you @hambright_pr for a copy of the audiobook.

Count get into the story. 

Here One Moment

DID NOT FINISH: 40%


Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of this audiobook. 

DNF at 40%. Too many characters to keep track. I found it kind of odd that one of the passengers recognized a name in the newspaper as someone on the flight as well. It wasn't only the passengers to keep track but the related characters to that passenger.

How to Hide in Plain Sight

Emma Noyes

DID NOT FINISH: 40%


Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of the audiobook. I DNF'd this at 40%, this one was not for me. 

I enjoyed the author's first book and I know this book is very personal for her so it makes me feel so bad with not connecting with it. The premise sounds good but for me, internal dialogue is always difficult for me to enjoy. 

Emily Pike Stewart did a good job with brining all the internal thoughts out. 

The Summer That Melted Everything

Tiffany McDaniel

DNF at 40%. The writing is just not for me. It is very lyrical and wordy for me. I am not a fan of stories told in 3rd person POV so that added to my lack of interest

Storm Warning

David Bell

DID NOT FINISH: 50%


Thank you @berkleypub @prhaudio for a copy of this book. 

I DNF'd at 50%. This book had a lot of potential but it didn't work for me. There was a lot going on and yet not a whole lot happened. I understand there's a killer on the loose but if felt off to me that the neighbors were all so untrusting. Usually during natural disasters, people come together and help each other out. 

The narrator did a good job with the story. I think if we had more back story of characters, I may enjoy it more.

Not Here to Make Friends

Jodi McAlister

DID NOT FINISH: 30%


I DNF'd at 30%. Just couldn't get into it. There was too many characters and not enough of the main characters interaction and development. 

Thank you @atriabooks @libro.fm for a copy of this.

Annie LeBlanc Is Not Dead Yet

DID NOT FINISH: 28%

DNF at 28%. I am not the right audience for this book. The premise sounded a lot of fun but as I was listening, it just didn't make sense. 

Thank you @macmillan.audio @wednesdaybooks @netgalley for a copy of this book.
