*I received a free copy of this book to review*

This book was... bad. Just so bad.

While the blurb intrigued me it pretty much said everything that happened in the book. There was almost zero character development beyond what you could read in the description. I disliked all of the characters, except for one that is fairly minor to the plot.

The writing in general is mediocre at best. The longest dialogue is maybe 5 or 6 lines, internal or otherwise. For my fans of Gilmore Girls... you know the episode where Lorelei gets to pick the free movie in the park and chooses to show Kirk's terrible short movie beforehand? This book is comparable to that short movie. Choppy and repetitive sentences that somehow have zero feeling. It's weird and out of touch.



I read this book in less than 48 hours, not because it was good, but because I knew if I stopped reading I would never want to pick it back up and I'd hit a major reading slump. I also had hoped it'd get better or there would be some crazy twist or it would bring it all together and make all the author's previous choices would make sense - didn't happen.
This is by far the most I have hated a book since I was in school and didn't have a choice in what I read. Just skip this one guys.

❤ Les

P.S. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be nice or just not review at all when you receive a free copy of a book - but I'm not about that.

Let's Talk About Les

-
     Hey, bookworms! My name is Celeste and I am just a 20-something girl trying to figure her life out. I live in Eastern Oregon with my boyfriend, our cattle dog, Remi, and our cat, Hank. I'm a small-town girl but will escape to the city every once in a while. Nothing feels better than returning to the slow pace and fresh air when I get back. In my free time, I like to read (obviously), tend to my plants (way too many), and take photos in nature (not nearly enough).       I was a big reader when I was a kid, but as you all know life gets crazy. Being required to read a lot of books in middle and high school killed the spark I had for books. After high school life got even busier somehow. I'd maybe read a book a year. Last year on a family vacation I actually had this thing called free time. I picked up the book I'd been reading for four months and finished it. Even after that, it was impossible for me to try and make reading a priority. Then my grandma got put in comfort

Choice Awards - Les's Version

Well if there was one thing (almost) all of the Goodreads users agreed on this year it was that the Goodreads Choice Awards this year SUCKED. I had only read one book that was a nominee. I read a lot of new releases this year and was disappointed not more made the nominee list. Many people had a similar feeling and even more were disappointed that several well-loved categories were eliminated from the docket. This was the first year I would be able to participate in the Goodreads Choice Awards and I had been looking forward to it all year and it really fell flat. So instead I am doing my own, I am naming my favorite book from each genre I read this year and telling you why below. They will not be all new releases because I think all books deserve love, not just the new ones!  Best of Thriller  Verity - Colleen Hoover Released - 2018 Pages - ~ 336  stars ⭐ - 5 I know I've talked a lot of shit about Colleen Hoover this year, but Verity really is different than her other books.

  Title  - Sugar & Sliced - Maple Lane Series #.5 Author  - C.A. Phipps __________________________________________________________________________ spice 🌶 - 0 scare 😱 - 1.25 plot 📖 - 4 characters  🧍- 4 stars ⭐ - 4   “It’s no one’s business but yours, sweetheart. The people who care about you know you’ve been unhappy, and they only want what’s best for you in the future, so pay the busybodies and troublemakers no mind.” Cozy mysteries - very interesting concept. On one page you have a girl talking to her cat about a baking competition, the next you are hearing about petechial hemorrhaging. I'm on the fence about whether I jive with this sub-genre. The book was a great change of pace from a lot of gorey and thrilling books nowadays but still has the mystery aspect that keeps you going. My issue is that the plotlines and character traits seemed very juvenile at times. I think this is more of a critique of the genre as a whole and not the author. Because you don't have the
