Five Words Reviews - part 2 - Miss Known
I really enjoy writing these reviews. They are quick, strictly to the point, and they challenge me to sum up my thoughts on each of the books. If you haven’t seen the first post I did, you should definitely read that, but basically, this idea came from the necessity of reviewing books that I don’t have much to talk about. This doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the book, most of them (if not all) I did enjoy quite a lot, but I don’t have enough things to point out about them that justifies a dedicated review. So today is time for another five books. The Saturday Night Supper Club by Carla Laureano Food, romance, and house goals. I had so much fun reading it. It really gave me wishes to have my own kitchen to make dinner parties for my friends and cooking while mingling or to show my knife skills – which are unexisting. The romance was really simple and fluid, maybe it was a bit rush, I usually prefer when it’s more slowed down to create an expectation. I also enjoyed how the friends were present all the time for the gossips, to help, to give advice, instead of the story just focus on the romantic relationship. Sadie by Cortney Summers The audiobook was too distracting. I never got to fully emerge myself in the story. It’s great to have a full cast of voice actors for each character but I felt lost multiple times without knowing who was talking or whom they were talking about. It’s a story about a hard felt topic but it didn’t surprise me or shock me. I still want to read a physical copy of it and see if I didn’t click with the story or if my problem was really with the audio version of it. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green Rather not have a mystery. I was actually enjoying the mental health part of this book. We get to be inside the characters head and “experience” it in first-person, but then there’s kind of a murder mystery put into the mix and it gets weird. I would rather have a book focus on her well-being and her relationships with others instead of adding a mystery to be the plot. One minute she is obsessing about germs and on the other she’s imagining a murder plan. I love...
