God-shaped Hole: A Novel | 
pick4¼⭐
You know, since this is one of CoHo‘s favorites, I thought this was going to blow me away with how good it was…but it didn‘t really deliver on that. It was close…but maybe in light of all the reviews I read about it, I figured I had a pretty good idea where it was headed and therefore didn‘t really let myself get too invested in these characters. It did make me laugh a time or two, though.
pickI loved this book. I could relate to it in so many ways. For me, it read so easily, like the words almost came out of my own mouth.
"The hole..."
This book resonates with me in so many ways. ❤
so-soI have mixed feelings on this one. I liked it, but it was strange. I‘m still trying to figure out what the message was in the end. The relationship was just so strange and it was hard to sympathize or understand. I liked how unique it was and it really did make me think. I saw someone on litsy post this recently (I forgot who it was) and bought it after I saw their review! #booked2018 #blameitonlitsy
pickThis book was referenced in a Colleen Hoover book as her character's favorite book. So I quickly looked it up on Overdrive and added the e-book to my tbr list.
And it's amazing.
I couldn't give it 5 stars because I was constantly ready for the other shoe to drop. I kept thinking something bad was around the corner.
Also amazing-》there is actually a playlist on Spotify with all the songs referenced in the book! This made me stupidly happy.
pickThis book was Fantastic! ☆☆☆☆☆ Smooth but edgy. I will be reading more of DeBartolo. P.S The spotify Playlist is super cool too.
I spent my entire 20's trying to BLEND. Loving this one so far. ❤
pickI had a smile on my face and felt giddy for most of the book. But the impending doom that is mentioned in the first pages of the book was always at the back of my mind. #rightlyso #lifeisshort #whoeversaidlifewasfair #enjoyitwhileyoucan
"Sometimes the most consequential moments in my life originate from a state of completely witless human autopilot."

pickIt was the story that proved that there will always be an extra spot on my shelf for a next DeBartolo book. My only regret is that I couldn't fall for the main guy - not my type. But it doesn't hurt the book, it's still incredibly touching.
#TBRtemptation post 1! When she was 12, a fortune teller told Trixie that her one would true love would die young. Flash-forward, and the wry Trixie answers a personal ad, "If your intentions are pure I am seeking a friend for the end of the world". She meets Jacob, a 30-something writer who is a free spirit. They begin a rollercoaster romance, and they come to turns with the hurt caused by distant fathers. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
I loved this book and it's only 2.99 for Kindle today! Recommending for anyone who wants a good, quick read.
"Don't waste your time with fear," Jacob said calmly. "Fear won't keep you safe from being hurt."
This book was supposedly very heavily influenced by the musician Jeff Buckley (The character of Jacob is basically Jeff, only as a writer instead of a muscian) and his music. Finally decided to tackle it.

@Samwise_Gamgee recommended this last year and it ended up being one of my favorites for 2016.
I'm catching up on all the days I've missed.
