I went into this expecting a little stepford wives horror and instead I got

an Adam and Eve retelling that felt kind of sexist.

Not a big fan of this. I thought it had potential and mid-way through I was bored and felt no "horror." Also I didn't care at all for our main character Sophie which makes it hard to connect with the story. 

This was not a groundbreaking novel on feminism. Just a quick read with basic points on misandry and why you shouldn't be ashamed about hating or resenting men and the patriarchy. 
Not a bad read but if you already are kind of okay with your feelings toward men (and hating them!) then just skip this. I would recommend to someone who doesn't know much about feminism, misogyny and misandry. 

I don't think I have anything to say about this except MEH. 

The characters were underdeveloped, each chapter was just the same BS from the previous chapter, everything was painfully obvious, the conflict was non-exisitent and the characters are completely unlikable and childish. 

Just overall this was not good. The Hating Game was a pretty good book and this failed the live it up to it. I'm not writing Sally Throne off yet though. 

Tessa Bailey just knows how to develop characters and write a good spicy romance! 

I thought this book was just as good as the first in the series. I love the small town setting. I LOVED Fox. 

My only disappointment is that it appears there will be no more in the series. 

A time-traveling, groundhog day-esque murder mystery! I don't think I could properly provide a synopsis without ruining anything, so I'll leave it at this: This novel is a slow paced mystery that might require lots of note-taking along the way. Lots of twists, turns and unexpected reveals. I knew very little before picking this up and I think its best that way. 

Gives exactly what it promises. Fun and quick little tidbits. Some information is a bit outdated. 

Olivia Monroe falls in love with Senator Max Powell and their relationship has it's ups and downs as private and methodical Olivia tries to adapt to dating an impulsive public figure. 

All of the novels in this series remain consistent to say the least. There was nothing too exciting in this book and it follows the romance script to a T. I really liked this book but I think I'm getting a but burnt out in this series. I have one more to read but my hopes are Guillory moves on from this and starts to write other stories outside of this series. 

I thought this was a great coming of age, inclusive novel in verse. However, at times it was a bit slow. Beautifully written and I would recommend to any young reader. 

Well the title didn't lie, this was definitely too many emails. Honestly this may have been the most juvenile story about adult female friendships. There is no way friends talk to each other like this, treat each other in this way or use email for their main communication (WTF!) I know this was from 2018 but that's not that long ago. 

All of the characters in this were highly unlikeable and not just that but I think this book is anti-female. It paints women in the worst way (catty, bitchy, dumb, obsessed with men, etc.). 

I almost DNF'd but it's such a quick read that I powered through. Please, if you're considering this book, just don't. Seriously, pick up ANY other book on female friendship. 

Jessa is forced to clean out her missing/dead boyfriend Caleb's bedroom and she starts to realize she didn't know Caleb as well as she thought. 

This was my first Megan Miranda book. While I'm not a huge fan of YA thrillers, this one was captavating for sure. I loved the short chapters which made the book fly by. I also think the use of found items to tell stories through flashbacks was brilliant. 

I would have given this 5 stars, however about 3/4 through the book I figured out the ending which made it a bit predictable. Still a great fast paced read though.
