It's this odd combination of either being too long or too short and I'm not sure which. I also feel like I've read this before--the older sister who is a screw up but who has a younger sibling that she sacrifices everything for and is too stubborn and angry to ask for help. I think I liked it? I'm still thinking about it, at least. ...more
I mean it's a Parks and Rec book by Jerry/Garry/Larry/Terry/Mailman Barry Gergich Gengurch, of course I'm going to love it. I mean it's a Parks and Rec book by Jerry/Garry/Larry/Terry/Mailman Barry Gergich Gengurch, of course I'm going to love it. ...more

I admittedly picked this up because the cover very much resembles a certain Marvel couple (I'm not convinced this didn't start as a story about them, which is fine by me, I picked it up for that reason so why would I be mad at it?) but it's a cute rom-com with a lot to say about identify. Could have done without the huffers, and there are a lot of characters to keep straight, but eh, it was fun. ...more

I thought this was going to be more about a woman finding herself in professional wrestling, or reclaiming something, or working through her issues. II thought this was going to be more about a woman finding herself in professional wrestling, or reclaiming something, or working through her issues. I feel like there were some major swerves that I wasn't prepared for, and basically 85% of the characters are shitty people. So overall, okay, but not what I was expecting. ...more

I'll give it like, 3.5 stars? I had a good time reading it--do I think it was anything super new, no, and for how long it is I'm not really sure that I'll give it like, 3.5 stars? I had a good time reading it--do I think it was anything super new, no, and for how long it is I'm not really sure that any of the relationships outside of the love ones were explored well enough to make them all feel like they're family, but I'm interested enough to see where the next one will go. ...more

I am unabashedly a horror weenie (some of the descriptions in the book had me noping out) but I appreciate the overview of some of the classics of the canon and why they're classics. The writing was engaging, funny, and although I won't watch any of the movies, I at least know some more trivia. ...more

Add to that a twist that I really think is ill done and makes very little sense, and the fact that this isn't a book with polyamory (I give up on love triangles in 2024) and I was disappointed. ...more

Connor's first book and I think it feels like a first book. Ben doesn't feel super developed as a character and Ezra is just sort of there to be the love interest. It's a fun idea, of course I wanted to love the FLGS queer cozy mystery, but I think it needs a lot of work. ...more
