Liam and Isabella have an instant connection at a college party, but Isabella's drug addiction ends things before they can even truly begin. Many years later, they are reconnected at the Kinnections Matchmaking Agency where various characters from Probst earlier novels in this series work to bring them together.

Really cute and despite being a novella I still found enough meat to enjoy the romance between the two characters. Bonus points for Star Wars references.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!

I'm so happy right now because I have that post-Stephen King glow. I devoured this book in about two days, with multiple gasp out loud moments. The story really revolved around two characters, both obsessed with the same author and the trove of unpublished manuscripts one of them hid under a tree.

Bill Hodges, Holly, and Jerome are here, and the Mercedes Killer Massacre is a driving force of much of the action, but we don't meet up with Bill and gang until the second act. The slow build up leading to the stand off between young Peter and the fanatical Morris Bellamy leaves you right on the edge of your seat. Hell, King's latest really reminded me of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.

And damn you Brady Hartsfield. I can't wait to see what Book 3 brings.

I really dug the science and the premise of multiple realities, but the characters left me cold. The women in the book were more objects of fixation as opposed to fully fledged players, which irked me, along with the general unlikeability of the main character Jason. There was also a little much 'I thought real hard about this problem and EUREKA I fixed it by thinking about it.'
Honestly I think this may make a better movie than a book. The author is obviously influenced by his career in television.

Lady Dorothea, last seen in [b:How the Duke Was Won|26029548|How the Duke Was Won (The Disgraceful Dukes, #1)|Lenora Bell|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1444890764s/26029548.jpg|45955327] and leaving a duke at the altar to allow him to marry her illegitimate half-sister, has been hiding out in Ireland with her spinster aunt and begging the lord of a nearby estate to allow her to uncover the trove of paintings he has squirreled away in his attic. Heading to London to convince Lord Dalton in person, Thea's plans to live out her life cataloging art are ruined when Lord Dalton (thinking she is off to trap him in marriage) makes her the belle of the ball.
Thea must have her revenge, and sets off to ruin herself, a task she finds is a bit more easily accomplished once she is swept up in a revenge scheme with Lord Dalton himself.

Lots of fun, sexy, and great characters.

Pet boutique owner Willa is roped into cat-sitting for the guy who stood her up at a high school dance and doesn't even remember her to boot. The cat is cute, but Keane is even more adorable as they both fall for each other despite the past and their own hangups about getting too attached.

Always a great time living in Jill's small towns. The Christmas part of the book is not really a focus at all, which was appreciated, and her characters always pop.

A fine, yet rather shallow look at the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, focusing mainly on her relationship with Prime Minister Lord Melbourne and the machinations of the others in her circle. I'm a huge fan of the Emily Blunt movie "Young Victoria" and didn't find much new ground with this take. The ending felt very rushed, and I was a bit thrown by the various changes in POV. I wish this was told strictly from Victoria's POV, but as I understand it, this is a companion novel to the upcoming TV series. From the way it was written, I believe the this is more of a novelization of the script versus the other way around. Still, a fun read, and I'm looking forward to the show.

Thank you to the publisher and to Netgalley for the ARCs.

I can't believe how much is going on in this book. A murdered boyfriend, PTSD, partial memory loss (or suppression?), car racing, car stealing, a West Side Story romance plot-line, insta-love, gambling addiction, lying, undercover cop parent, asshole absent parents, and a one-eyed alley cat. I may have also missed a few things, but with all that, wow.

While highly readable and one I did finish, this book had every cliche known to YA romance. It felt very reminiscent of [a:Katie McGarry|4575371|Katie McGarry|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1305138891p2/4575371.jpg]'s work, which I find much more believable. Unfortunately, I just could not buy the instant love between Frankie and Marco because they spent the least amount of time together on the page. I do believe this will be a great seller, and teens will eat it up.

A fantastic listen. West does an amazing job narrating her essays, which are at turns humorous, smart, scary, and important. this is an especially timely read in the current political climate. Thank you to an awesome colleague for recommending this to me.

Eleanor vows today will be different as she goes through a 40 something crisis of womanhood, motherhood, and wife-hood.

I had fun reading Eleanor's stream of concious ramblings, but not as much as I enjoyed Bernadette's. This also felt very similar to Where'd You Go, but not quite as tightly plotted. The addition of the short graphic novel was a nice treat.

Not my favorite in the series, but still a fun read. Pippa was awesome, I just didn't really enjoy Jensen's character and felt that their romance was a bit too forced.
