One Last Stop – Casey McQuiston | 🎧🌈

My Goodreads Review | My StoryGraph Review

⭐⭐⭐.75

“August is a time and place and a person.”

I walked into this one completely blind and I just walked out of it with a sudden love for trains??? Casey McQuiston what have you done to me?!?! This was so much fun and had so many elements that I absolutely love. Found family, mystery, pop culture, drag queens, first love…trains.

Above everything in this book though, I loved the friendship between Wes and August!I love how Casey McQuiston writes romance but I’d love if they wrote a purely found family story sometime in the future!

Mrs Death Misses Death – Salena Godden | 🎧

My Goodreads Review | My StoryGraph Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

I don’t totally know what to say about this book. It was a whole EXPERIENCE. It was hard to stomach because death can be really hard to talk about or read about but overall, I really enjoyed reading this and I highly recommend the audiobook! This book lends so well to being told out loud and I think it makes the reading experience even better!

Malibu Rising – Taylor Jenkins Reid | 🎧

My Goodreads Review | My StoryGraph Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had no idea what to expect from this because as usual, I didn’t read the description. I just knew it was the new TJR book and that I needed to read it! I usually don’t gravitate towards books about fame or featuring famous characters but TJR seems to be the exception because I really really liked this and I think it was the perfect length for this story! I can’t wait to see what TJR writes next!
