Another beautiful book from Toshikazu.  

This series is so beautiful and heartfelt. With that being said I am finding the stories are becoming somewhat repetitive. I will continue reading the series but the stories aren't grabbing my attention quite like they used to.

I throughly enjoyed listening to this book. 

There was a few points where I was telling the main character to be less stupid but overall I really really loved this and had a great time diving into the mystery. 

For once I didn't see the end twist coming but did find the ending to be less than satisfying.

Initially while reading this books I was uncertain if I was going to like it. But as the story progressed I became more and more enraptured with it. 

I loved all the pop culture references and how of the time the references made the novel feel. 
The culmination of Ripley dying but not really made me love the book even more

My only negatives were some parts were definitely written more for the male perspective and it was what made me question if I would enjoy the book or not as well some sections were a little choppy in structure and I found myself rereading parts to get the timeline straight in my head. 

Overall a really good concept and a very fun read

A wonderful classic from childhood. 

Listening gave this book a whole different experience and I highly recommend doing so. 

The story of Mowgli is so well.known but the other stories within are so fun and well written

I wanted to like this book so badly but when I see thriller as a genre I expect a whole lot more from a book than just a little dark past. 

The majority of this book was singing and writing which for some people would make for a great read but not me. 

I was tremendously let down with the lack of plot and repetitiveness of certain actions throughout.

I really enjoyed the You by Caroline Kepnes vibes this novella gave me. 

It was such an interesting concept and plot as compared to the You series where the MC is a store owner this gave such a different dynamic and really makes you think about the people you interact with frequently but don't really give thought to. 

I don't know how I feel about the ending whether I loved or loved to hate it. It was such a switch that I did and didn't anticipate. I was expecting something but not that.

There was some pacing things I didn't enjoy (a little choppy but also I understand trying to fit a lot into a novella) and a few small plot holes (where was Cara at the end?)

But overall really enjoyed this and read it in one sitting.

I love Arthurian tales and this one was no exception. 

While the pacing was slower than I typically enjoy the writing was so beautiful that it made up for the pacing.

I loved the dark almost gothic vibes this book gave me as well as the fairytale meets modern aspect of the plot line. 

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and the depth the author gave without it being a 600 pg book.

An overall cute book with a plus size heroine. Really enjoyed listening to it and definitely was laughing out loud at points. 
I really enjoyed that Nolan loved Bees curves and had no issue with her profession. And I liked that it supported sex work as a viable profession. 

I didn't enjoy the drunk scene and found it really took away some of the enjoyment for me.
