Cute enough but unsatisfying. I also hated that she used "cranked" to mean "excited" every freaking page.

"All new governments fail in their promise to put right the evils of the past. A Henry V, an Edward IV, or Henry VIII may claim that a new age is dawning, but it never does. Everything is changed, but everything remains the same. Robin Hood is deeply distrustful of the exercise of power, and of people in power."

Robin Hood has been popular since most likely the 14th century, and this is why. This book does a deep dive into the 1300-1500s and how the lore of Robin Hood changed and also how it stayed the same from then until now. It's a little dry but the subject mostly makes up for it. Truly some things will never change.

Just one single plot throughout, was pretty bored with the audio until the reveal at 40% that

Cheyenne deliberately went out there to find the werewolf because he killed her dad

brought me back in and I stuck around to get to the end.

I loved this as a teenager. As an adult, it's better than I expected, but definitely chock-full of that extreme cringe that only YA novels can possess. The therapist's advice was really valuable and I wish I had re-read this in my mid-twenties when I needed it before I learned all those lessons the hard way, but such is life.

Gave up at page 183 (41%) because I was bored.

Had some really great lines but was actively unpleasant to read.

It's just as twee as it sounds, but it's a heartwarming and even moderately inspirational read.

No rating for this one because I found it so boring that I was just tuning in and out of the audiobook at various intervals because it could not hold my attention.

Absolutely nothing happened until page 112 and what did happen wasn't enough to keep me reading.

 

Rose dies in a car accident and from what I can see from the rest of the reviews, it's just a sad book from that point on, and I'm not real interested in a book that is half fluff and half pathos
