Books in 2019 (#5)

I'm noticing that I don't have a ton to say about any of these books. No major rants. No stand-out raves. Oh well.  I won't do a TL:DR (too long; didn't read) summary because my summaries are quite short anyway. I do have a STACK to tackle this month and I'm currently two books into...a lot of books. I post in IG stories and on Goodreads as I finish books, so find me in either of those places if you want the real-time updates.

Come Rain or Shine by Denise Grover Swank
I liked the beginning of this and I liked the end of this. The middle was superfluous. I hate to describe a narrative/storyline/character arc that I generally enjoy that way, but it was hashtag predictable.

Make Me Bad by R.S. Grey
I quit this after about 20%. It was nonsensically predictable in a way that I didn't appreciate.

Little Monsters by Kara Thomas
If you liked The Cheerleaders, this is one to try. I didn't like it as much. The beginning pulled me in, the middle was just drama-filled-angsty teenage girl stuff, but the end did surprise me. So if you like YAish thrillers/mysteries, find it.

I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll
This was a good mystery. I like British mysteries. I know I didn't predict the ending but there were parts of it that dragged a bit.

Match Making for Beginners by Maddie Dawson
This was a romance book in a way. It also bordered literary fiction, I thought. If you want a love story (or, like, 7 of them) and want there to be great writing, it's a good choice. I found that I really liked Marnie as a character in a way that I thought I wouldn't based off of the first chapter or so.


Linking up with Jana and Steph!
