A love letter to the realest fictional charaters ever read.
Rafe and Sophie were a very complex pair of individuals and an even more intriguing coup A love letter to the realest fictional charaters ever read.
Rafe and Sophie were a very complex pair of individuals and an even more intriguing couple. Their story was strong, interesting, and filled with emotions and stories. Virginia Heath is a student of human experience and people, and that shows. Her novels are beautifully crowded, and her characters are so full that it could make many best-selling authors jealous. Flawed and diverse in such a human and understanding way. Hurt in such a sympathetic manner. And deserved and afraid to love as much as every single one of us. Truthfully, the small village themes in combination with the families and the different forms they can be found in were my favorite part of the novel. Either small, like a pair of brothers or a niece and her aunt, or a whole microcosmos of a village, the writing and structure of the society blurred the boundaries of what it means to be a family in the most adorable way. But the best feature of this book was, of course, Archie, who left a soft spot in my heart. Disability representation doesn't have to be very crystal clear as long as it is there and it exists not only for the sake of writing it, but to actually contribute to the story. The only small "issue" I had was the rush ending. I feel I needed something more. It definitely kept me at the edge of my seat, but I believe I wanted them to have a longer happy ending, I suppose. The plot was so poignant that I wanted them to lick their wounds before the conclusion of the story. Apart from that, I loved it, and I believe this love letter proves it.
This book is the perfect choice if you want a book that feels like a smut oneshot from AO3. It was fun and generSpicy? Sure. Cute? Occasionally. But..
This book is the perfect choice if you want a book that feels like a smut oneshot from AO3. It was fun and generally well written, but it was mostly p0rn without much plot.
A familliar but still haunting and unsettling tale.
This is the tale of a troubled man. The story unfolds in an almost static stream of consciousness A familliar but still haunting and unsettling tale.
This is the tale of a troubled man. The story unfolds in an almost static stream of consciousness, where Joe's numerous thoughts flow and merge. Feelings, memories, and events are so linked and so separate that the text is almost too realistic of the human experience. Our protagonist finds himself in a tangibility that is unnervingly domestic. He appears to lose his sense of reality as a result of his internal and external conflicts and battles with social standards. Maybe for a purpose other than resolving his own issue? Maybe not. In any case, it makes no difference. To him, it was real.This experimental story is about accepting that youth is fleeting and that there is always time to start afresh. A happy ending is different for everyone, after all....more
I love Jenika, but I believe she just needs more time with her books.
If she just took her time writing, these beautiful stories would have met thei I love Jenika, but I believe she just needs more time with her books.
If she just took her time writing, these beautiful stories would have met their full potential. Regardless, Ravish Her was a fun read, with a deep backstory. There were some weaknesses to the narrative, for instance, how quickly the "language barrier" dissolved or how the MMC changed his attitude, but I looked past it because I liked the story.
Um...I don't usually say this...but I think this book had too much smut in it.
Diver's Heart on paper had everything a book needs to be a masterpiece Um...I don't usually say this...but I think this book had too much smut in it.
Diver's Heart on paper had everything a book needs to be a masterpiece. The deep connection between the protagonists left a bittersweet taste to the narrative, which made the plot irresistible. The character development that all the protagonists go through makes the story appear like a sea of internalized journeys and a battle between past pain and hope for a better future.
BUT... The relationship seems to be too dependent on sex without any other connection between them than just memories, lust and the adrenaline of diving. And Peyton obviously had a favorite (Tyler...duh), which is my pet peeve when reading reverse harem romance.
Also...they just f@ck and make up???why don't you guys talk wtf??...
