Review: Pick-Up by Nora Dahlia



Blurb from Goodreads:
Sasha Rubinstein is not on her game. Parenting with an absent (and objectively douchey) ex has never been a cake walk, but, lately, the judgmental side-eye from people at school pick-up feels extra. It doesn’t help that some entitled dad—with his perfect t-shirts and perfectly punchable (yet adorable) face—keeps stealing the last after-school spots and school hoodies out from under her.


Ethan Jones is not trying to trip Sasha up… at school or otherwise. In fact, ever since they met (which she promptly forgot), he’s been hoping for the exact opposite…or at least to stop thinking about her.


When a game-changing job lands them trapped together on an exclusive private island, they resolve to stop sniping at each other and keep things professional. But with tension building between them and the permeating intoxication of island time, temptation blows in on every tropical breeze.
My Review:

 
Nothing about this book worked for me -- the story was weird, not cohesive and the characters were all terrible.  The premise seemed like it could have worked but it did not.  Instead of revealing some crazy twist, it was just weird and didn't make sense. I hope you have better luck!

Pick-Up comes out next week on December 3, 2024, and you can purchase HERE.  
I have that feeling I remember from elementary and middle school, when having a crush makes you excited to go to class and then that drops away. Only it's not a crush I have. It's something else.

Conversations With Myself (& Hopefully You): Should There Be ARCs?

First of all, thank you SO much for reading my very first "discussion" post .  The response was so amazing and I am so grateful to each and every one of you that took the time to read it.  I would like to preface my next discussion post in the same way -- nothing is new and I'm sure that this topic has been discussed by someone, somewhere but this is what is on my mind: SHOULD THERE BE ARCs? Truly, not everything I think about and write about is regarding Maggie Stiefvater's epic series, The Raven Cycle , but it just so happens that this discussion post will mention this series, too.   Those of us that are obsessed with this series (like me) know that there will not be any ARCs for the highly (HIGHLY) anticipated last book of this series, The Raven King . There will be no ARCs (advanced reader copies). Y'all are just going to have to trust me. https://t.co/xYDv0q1tXN — Maggie Stiefvater (@mstiefvater) December 5, 2015 Oddly, I think this ...
