This booked sucked me in and I couldn't put it down it was a great read until the end just fell flat and made no sense, It was a Very Bad Ending. Like I will not remember the story and characters just the terrible ending.

Not a great read. ]]> GiveawayRequest707868697 Thu, 01 May 2025 13:52:19 -0700 <![CDATA[<a href="/user/show/28657126-cheryl">Cheryl</a> entered a giveaway]]> /giveaway/show/407502-long-island Long Island by Colm Tóibín

Why oh why does a charming middle school book have to go "there". I loved All Four Stars and bought it for my grandaughter and niece. I read the Summer Stars and just picked up Stars so Sweet until I go to he page where one of the main characters has a crush on a girl.

This book was such an enjoyable read until page 170. Before I hear well this happens, yes I know but does not need to get in the head of Middle school girls or boys who are on their own life journey. WRONG

A disappointing read ]]> ReadStatus9355625283 Sat, 26 Apr 2025 14:26:01 -0700 <![CDATA[Cheryl finished reading 'Audition']]> /review/show/7483187528 Audition by Katie Kitamura Cheryl finished reading Audition by Katie Kitamura

bookshelves: didn-t-like
Couldn't get into it, the first chapter was shallow - maybe at another time. ]]> Review7483430403 Mon, 14 Apr 2025 16:54:13 -0700 <![CDATA[Cheryl added 'The Collected Regrets of Clover']]> /review/show/7483430403 The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer Cheryl gave 3 stars to The Collected Regrets of Clover (Hardcover) by Mikki Brammer
I enjoyed this book, the concept of the death doula and getting to know Clover, Leo, grandma, Bessie, Claire, Sebastian, Hugo and then Sylvie a great addition to the characters but there was no reason to throw in she likes threesomes with the neighbors. This was not a racy or sexy book, if anything Clover was looking for her real life romcom and that part is where my rating would have been a 5 star to a 3 star for me. It was so jarring and as awkward as them mending a friendship over it. Not everything has to go into a story, and that part did not have a place in this otherwise beautiful story of death, regrets.

I look forward to Mikki Brammer's next novel.

A good read.
