Queen B’s Decree: Callan’s Atlas was a fast paced and quick read. Our main characters are the young, damaged, and broken Callan and the older, bossy, and rebellious Atlas. Atlas was almost too pushy and domineering at times, but Callan seemed to really respond to it. Callan has gone through something exceptionally traumatic and his […]
Queen B’s Decree: It Had to Be You was a lot like Love Actually. Which is perfect, as that is my favorite movie. It does mean that there are a lot of different points-of-view, so it made it a little difficult to follow along at first. A lot of the story lines are a little […]
Queen B’s Decree: This felt like a coming-of-age story but even after reflecting upon Hurricane Summer, I still don’t know what the lesson was. Everyone sucks and life is terrible? This is supposedly an ode to the wonders of Jamaica, but except for some scenery and landscape all we hear about are poverty, shaming, racism, […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Insiders was perfect Tijan to me. Awkward, strange, yet strong heroine and rich, moody Hero. The Insiders starts with full on action: Bailey is about to be kidnapped due to her parentage. Which is a shock to her, as she had thought her father to be deceased all her life. Surprise! […]
Queen B’s Decree: Just Last Night was an extremely emotional and beautiful book. This was more of a love story about friendship versus a traditional romance. Just Last Night focuses on the very difficult topic of grief. It was told through Eve’s point of view and I thought it very accurately described the painfully emotional […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m having a hard time categorizing this as a romance, as Somehow Finding Us felt more like a journey about personal growth and acceptance. It’s definitely a slow burn, which was a major change from Pieces of Us. Both Ethan and Zeke are separately working on healing and to do that, they […]
Queen B’s Decree: Say I’m the One was all-consuming. I had nearly forgot how Siobhan Davis can dial up the angst. Whenever I think I’d rather read something easy and light, she hooks me and sucks me into this emotional roller coaster. While SITO is a love triangle of sorts, it doesn’t feel that way. […]
Queen B’s Decree: Darkroom was refreshingly sweet. Hudson is the hockey god on campus and faces a lot of pressure from his family and his teammates. When he meets Indi in his photography class, he’s happy to meet someone who doesn’t care or know about hockey. Indi was an interesting character. She was a little […]
Queen B’s Decree: A misunderstanding causes a breakup between Sebastien and Faith, so Seb is really surprised to see Faith at the hockey arena playing for the women’s team a year later. Faith is holding a major grudge until she is told the real story then she and Seb start attempting to be friends again. […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Introvert’s Guide to Online Dating was an easy and fun enemies-to-lovers story. Tori and Colton have a relationship full of bickering until one night when it shifts into secret hook-ups. Their bickering and banter was the best part of Tori and Colton’s relationship. It was hilarious and sarcastic, but you could […]
