Historia

Fake dating for the win??
Revisado: 03-18-25
3 stars.
Are you looking for a book featuring fake dating and insta-love that's set in a small town with forced proximity, raucous and fun side characters, with a hefty dose of "I'm the only one allowed to touch you" possessive alpha energy? Then "Pretend You're Mine" by Lucy Score is the book for you. In fact, most of Lucy Score's books are probably for you because she loves making books that have these same plot devices and tropes. When Harper and Luke meet, sparks fly super fast, but he doesn't want to get attached because he's about to deploy again and has *~emotional damage*~ aplenty. Harper and Luke start fake dating so he can save face with his family who have been nagging him about dating again, but their desire burns for one another quickly and brightly despite the practicalities of their situation. One thing Lucy Score knows how to do well is banter. There is some good, funny dialogue here. I really enjoyed getting to know Harper and Luke and the respective stories, but Luke was such an grumpy idiot that I wanted to smack the crap out of him. I also thought Harper was a little too perfect and it got on my nerves. Typically, I don't like books involving the military, but this one didn't bother me as much because it doesn't focus on American jingoism. Unfortunately, I found this book to be way, way too long at times. It's slow to start and it drags quite a bit in the middle. At one point, I felt myself losing interest at times. Also, the ending wraps up shockingly quickly, which is strange since this book is over 400 pages long! It almost feels like a very loose plot written around a lot of spicy scenes... and I mean A LOT of spicy scenes (not a complaint!). Speaking of such, Lucy Score loves to talk about the heft and heaviness of bawls and milking waaaay too much. 😂 Overall, this book is fine, but it's not Score's best. I wasn't ever bored, but I likely won't remember this come year's end.

Rock star Eddie Vee once sang with his soul, dedicating love songs to Sara Friedman, his inspiration and first love. Now, Eddie takes refuge in anonymity, closed off to the past. Sara, too, has distanced herself from their love, moving thousands of miles away to live the life she once railed against. As Eddie and Sara tentatively open up to Cecilia about broken dreams, she struggles to give them a happy ending.

A music lover's dream romance book!
Revisado: 03-18-25
4 stars!
"What You Do To Me" by Rochelle B. Weinstein is a music lover's dream of a romance book. It really is a love letter to music. The story is told over two alternating timelines that ultimately converge with one another as main character Cecilia, who is a writer for Rolling Stone, attempts to chase down the story that will make her career while also trying to mend her relationship with her boyfriend Paul. As she gets closer to figuring out who "Sarita" is to famous musician Eddie Vee, who wrote the hit song "What You Do To Me" decades ago, Cecilia's relationship with Paul suffers more and more each day. She must find herself and discover what she wants while navigating her busy, raucous work life and her fledgling relationship. I really dug this book after a while. I almost did not finish it because it was really slow to get started, but once you get over the first few chapters and into the meat and potatoes of the story, it's a touching ode to true love, music, nostalgia, self-discovery, grief, redemption, and making amends. I found this book to be touching and compelling. I did want to throttle Cecilia a couple of times, though. Her frustrating nature definitely comes across on the page! It's like she can't slow down, can't sit still, and judges everyone at their worst. Some readers will be turned off by her, but to me, she felt authentic. Weinstein gets so many points for doing what she did with her epilogue. So many readers will not be satisfied by it, but I think it stays true to her characters and her story. Check this one out!

Slow-burning suspense thriller
Revisado: 03-18-25
3.5 stars, rounded up!
"The House Beyond the Dunes" by Mary Burton is a slow-burning suspense thriller that will keep you guessing as you never quite know the full picture about what's going on. Details are given sparsely as we follow Lane, the main female character, who is trying to heal after a fall down the stairs during a vacation that she took with her new boyfriend Kyle, whom she has been seeing for about 3 weeks. Lane survived the tumble, but Kyle did not. Particulars are hazy about what happened, and Lane cannot remember the events preceding their fall. We are tasked with piecing together the clues about who Kyle was before he died, the nature of his and Lane's short relationship, and whether the people who lived by him are covering something up. I definitely did not predict the end of this book, which is the best thing a suspense/mystery/thriller can do. This book kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat the entire time I read it. I think there could have been a little more "oomph" here and there, but overall, I am satisfied with this rather quick, compelling read. I will be sure to check out other books penned by Mary Burton.

Historia
George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

Bleak but Engaging
Revisado: 01-18-23
Bleak but engaging story. Prebble's narration is very good when it comes to his voices, passion, and inflection, but his pace was a little slow. Speeding the narration to 1.2x speed made it more to my pace preference.
