That's a bummer about the Colleen Hoover book. She's on my list of authors to try this year but I'll definitely pick a different book after seeing your review. I don't think I'd like Beyah at all.Suzanne @ The Bookish Librahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116292880784513187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-37827969089992479252021-05-17T06:35:07.537-04:002021-05-17T06:35:07.537-04:00I was bummed Mad about Chai wasn't as awesome ...I was bummed Mad about Chai wasn't as awesome as Mad about Ewe😔 especially as it did have good stuff going for it.

Alright! Though I would never have guessed that Mad About Ewe got heavy. I have not read a CoHo in a bit, but the last one I read was an older book. I have yet to really touch the newer ones, and this one sounds like it was good I avoided it.Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-3327980579269698702021-05-15T11:55:01.155-04:002021-05-15T11:55:01.155-04:00I know this falls under the "judging a book b...I know this falls under the "judging a book by it's cover" thing, but I just can't with punny titles. Mad About "Ewe" and Give Love a "Chai"... ugh. I just cringe every time I see one. I think Penny Reid has a lot of those. An even though I may be missing out on some good stories, I see a title with a pun or a cutesy play on words and it's an immediate turn-off. Just one of those weird pet peeves, I guess. :)Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-88137312952261558862021-05-15T11:54:23.900-04:002021-05-15T11:54:23.900-04:00Mad About Ewe sounds like such a fun read!
