Review: But did you Die? by J.D. Hollyfield


But did you Die? by J.D. Hollyfield is NOW LIVE!

https://geni.us/ButdidyouDie


When Josie gets dumped, her three best friends come armed with tequila, chaos, and one bad idea: a spontaneous girls’ trip to Arizona.

But nothing goes as planned—not the Airbnb, not the hangovers, and definitely not the too-hot-to-be-real “pool boy” who keeps showing up at inconveniently shirtless times.

Between friendship meltdowns, margarita-fueled wisdom, and one dangerously distracting man, Josie’s weekend turns into a crash course in love, laughter, and letting go.

MY REVIEW

Josie and her girls are off on a road trip after another breakup with a guy who showed all the red flags. It's supposed to be a good time, a vacation, with NO GUYS, but she can't resist the local grump, Trevor. It's just a vacation fling, though. Or it's supposed to be, because he lives here and she doesn't. Plus, if she picked him, he must be yet another awful, red flag showing, guy too. There's no way this gorgeous guy who seems to actually see her is real, right?


For a novella, this feels so complete, even though the actual timeline is short. Josie is such a relatable hot mess, and her friends are absolutely hilarious, but the most loyal, supportive group of friends. And then there's Trevor...grumpy but a big ol teddy bear on the inside, with his own pain. When his backstory came out, it explained everything, and I wanted to give him such a big hug. I love this fun, spicy fling to forever story! I hope J.D. plans on writing Josie's friends' stories next *hint hint*.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
