Talking as fast as I can - Lauren Graham

♥♥♥♥

What a fast listen, the 4 hours flew by, and I am so glad I pre-ordered the audiobook, I am sure the experience wouldn’t have been the same if it wasn’t narrated by Lauren herself.

You get small glimpses into her life from the beginning, through her rise as an actress, to where she landed in Gilmore Girls, and everything from there. I really enjoyed all the little tales she had to share. I also respect her for not making this an expose piece where she just shares a lot of dirt about herself and cast members.  

Have to admit that I did skip the last couple of chapters as that is where she shares her experience and some spoilers about the new Gilmore Girls revival and I am still not done watching it, as I am savouring each episode. (Will update this review once I have listened to it)

Definitely would recommend this to any fans of the fast talking Lauren Graham, she will always be my Lorelei Gilmore.

Rebel - Joanne MacGregor

♥♥♥♥♥

What an ending to a great trilogy! This was the first time in a very long time that a series has sucked me in like this, especially a dystopian. When I heard of it, I thought it will be just another dystopian, how wrong was I? The premise sucked me in, and I read each book almost immediately when it came out.

You see how far Jinxy has come from the gamer who played the Game to keep her mind of the plague. All the characters who have grown on us are back and ready to fight. There are several twists and turns and just when you think you have figured everything out, there is a new curve ball thrown at you. This is what makes a great trilogy.

The last book is no different, it wraps up everything and you feel a sense of closure. Thank you Joanne for keeping the waiting period very short, I wouldn’t have survived a longer wait!

I would recommend this series in a heartbeat.

The Trouble with Falling – Rachel Morgan

♥♥♥♥

***I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***

The Trouble with Falling is the fourth book in ‘The Trouble Series’ and could most definitely be read as a standalone.

We get to know Sophie just before her sister’s wedding, we know that her previous relationship didn’t end on a great note and that Sophie has now distanced herself from everyone, only opening up to an artist, Lex, she has met on an online artist website. Throughout all the prep for the wedding, we meet Caleb, the best man for the wedding, and the two somehow hit it off, and Caleb is determined to pull Sophie out of her dark corner.

I enjoyed this book, Rachel really knows how to get you to love her characters and pull you into the story, I also love how she weaves all the previous stories into each other that should you not read these in order or not read all of them you won’t feel lost.

It is a feel-good, book that makes you smile like a Cheshire cat while reading.

Someday, Someday, Maybe - Lauren Graham

♥♥♥♥

Being a huge Gilmore Girls fan and recently discovering Parenthood, I was pleasantly surprised when I found out Lauren Graham wrote a book.

It follows Franny Banks, an aspiring actress whose self-set three-year deadline is fast approaching. Everything depends on the upcoming showcase where she will get exposure to agents who could help her make a name for herself. Together with her two-person fan club, Fanny overcomes obstacles along the way.

I found it very funny that Fanny complained about love triangles in movies but she never realised that she was in one, It was quite refreshing and I found myself drawn into the story. There were times I wanted to reach into the book and shake Franny, and tell her to wake up and smell the coffee, but that is part of the wonderful story.

The characters are lovable and very realistic. I felt that Graham wrote an amazing story with witty dialogue, definitely a page turner. The only complaint I have is that the ending was very sudden and it leaves you wanting for more.
