L'amica d'infanzia

**Many thanks to NetGalley, Minotaur/SMP, and Jessica Fellowes for an ARC of this book! Now available as of 9.13!** Have you ever seen a broken Merry-Go-Round? (Stay with me) I personally haven't, but I can sure imagine it. Horses sort of popping up and down in a disjointed way, at odd intervals th

I will give this 1.5 stars because of the audiobook. It was the only thing that helped me get through it, the performances by Antonia Beamish and Lucy Scott were literally the only good thing about this book.

Then Kate moves away suddenly when they're 17 and Bella doesn't hear from her until they run into each other years later and rekindle their friendship. It can't possibly still be as to Leggi tutto

There was a lot of backstabbing, a lot of secrets, a lot of excusing behavior and not enough genuine regr Leggi tutto

Thank you Minotaur books for my complimentary arc. I have never given a book I finished 1 star before. I wish I hadn’t finished this one. For most of the book you have no idea what is going on or why these two are even friends. The dialogue was hard to follow… characters unlikeable, pace was slow, di Leggi tutto
