I'm awaiting the next part of this series; love these characters! You will end up feeling the same...if you can put this one down, that is.
What an intriguing book!! This was really interesting and I LOVED the characters, all of them. Vibrant, affectionate, funny - I literally cared about each person. Ash and Morgan are funny and delightful.
This book is RIDDLED with spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's funny, sweet, and original. Frankly, errors notwithstanding, I wish there were a dozen more books like this by this author.
Amazing. Love it!
Wow. This is what I've been waiting for! I love the instant jump into the plot and focusing on it, it's a fresh take on this series' storytelling. Also, even though it was easy to figure out the best course of action on how she can solve the issue, the limitations were unexpected and fitting, great thinking there! (I don't want to spoil.)
Amazing. Love it
The story was good, but there are a lot of unanswered questions! The fact that a lot of things are left to the imagination or personal conclusions is a combination of great and unsettling. I like being able to keep a book that I have read going in my brain - to reach my own conclusions and decisions - but a lot of it seems unfinished and like there's more to that to be filled in. But I really did like the story!
I did not like this book. I wonder if it's cuz I'm a mom but I really empathized with Daniel for having such terrible parents and I think it would've fucked anyone up. What he did in the name of ambition was terrible but I just couldn't not feel bad for him so his downfall just made me sad. Jasper and Cole were hot together so I did enjoy that, and it's a great story, I think C. P. just made Daniel too empathetic to be able to see him as a villain. I just see his parents as the villains.
There's a LOT going on in this book, it's sometimes confusing and hard to keep up. However, if you can, it pays off big time. One of my favorites for sure.
It's almost over :( all the guys have their littles!
Angel, what a dream. Dark inside and out, Angel is the last of the brothers to find his little. Nora, Ellie's bff comes back to town to escape her abusive ex. They meet and Angel knows immediatey that he's found the one. I know that there is one more book left but I feel like this is the end because Angel was the final brother to find his little. This series has been so wonderful and I can't wait to read all about Dr. Tate (I have a thing for Dr's LOL.) Then it's off to the other books. Hopefully Kate keeps writing, because I'd be heartbroken if I read all her books and had no more left!
Leo & Claire <3
This one was close to my heart. Being in my age group, I really loved that an older woman in her mid-50's could still be a little. Claire is Kylie's Mom, Leo is the Dad of all the Men in the family. Leo is still holding on to the memory of Sophia, his wife who passed away, so he acts like a moron before he realizes that Claire is the little he's been waiting for! On to Maddox!
This was a slow starter but with a low slow burn that lasted until the (great) ending. It was a bit long (and I admittedly skipped over some of the narrator's inner dialogue, probably to my detriment) but the slow slog was worth it for the peek into a complicated women's group from a completely different time and space. This book had me thinking about it afterwards, which for me is the true definition of a good read. If the author could tighten up and lighten up a bit this would easily be a 5, but it's still so close for me. Ultimately, I decided although I contemplated it for a long time afterwards, the fact that I skipped some meant it couldn't be a 5.
EDIT: I just learned that the author is a TERF, as such I can't recommend this book or suggest supporting her work. I'll leave my original, uninformed review below.
A feminist speculative short story ironically featuring two men as the protagonists. The plot examines the lives, thoughts, actions, and interactions of these two old friends as they spend a day together navigating a heteromatriarchal world that is just as oppressive as our current heteropatriarchal one.
The role reversal at the center of the story does a magnificent job of bringing forth both the banal and extreme forms of repression and alienation that manifest under heteropatriarchy. But as during the course of the story, these events are experienced by men, the oppressively mundane suddenly becomes the outrageously absurd. As a cis male, I found this story engaging, thought-provoking, and inspiring of reflection. I agree with those who say the ending could …

This author...every time I read a book by Reese Morrison I feel like I'm gently taken apart and put back together a little more fully and with a little larger heart.
This is a beautiful story about complex characters (Reese does excel at them). Watching Mateo explore his gender was so pure and true. When he tried on lingerie for the first time I couldn't see the page through my tears. Mateo is so incredibly precious and brave, and Austin tries so hard and so sincere and sensitive to Mateo's needs. The first time he referred to himself as "daddy" my heart melted into a puddle. </spoiler)
The end for the "Books of the Raksura" series... for now.
I really liked it. It's a good ending to the story that began with "The Edge of the Worlds", and a good ending to my year.
This book, the sixth in the Beth Haldane series, answers some questions about Beth’s past. It’s a bit different from the previous books in the series, with multiple murders and attempted murders over a fairly lengthy period of time.
And I had to laugh, because the game of bridge features prominently and I really related to Beth, who absolutely didn’t want to learn to play but finally did to please her difficult mother. In my case, it was a grandmother I never got along with who tried to teach me, and against whom I completely rebelled. That was probably 55 years ago, and to this day I refuse to learn. Families can do that to you. . .
It’s not often I get surprised by the ending, but I barely saw this one coming. This story includes a no-holds-barred look at parents who put careers and stuff ahead of paying attention to their kids, and still manages to stay entertaining.
