Audio - 5 StarsStory - dnf @ 51%It's definitely me and not the book. I know a lot of reader's will love this story. Lucky them. I wish I could enjoy it.After the tiny bit of information that was given about this story in another book I read by the author called "Still Beating", I honestly thought this story would be darker. But it's not dark. It's frustrating. The heroine is sweet and quirky, but she's also a commitment phobe. The hero is sweet, sheltered and innocent. The heroine's skittish beh...
Amazing. Heart wrenching.
5 "Wishing" Stars! ... The lotus chronicles.I started this book while on the road from Trondheim to Bodø. I was supposed to spend those hours taking a nap because I had to drive the next hours. But fuck all of it because I needed Oliver's story after I finished the other epic one by the same author, Still Beating. I have visited Bodø a lot of times. That city in Northern Norway—that not a single tourist I've met spoke about—never fails to knock me off of my feet every time. Like Lotus. This b
I'm clearly in the minority here but I was bored with this book. Oliver just reminded me of a robot that started developing human feelings. I could not connect with this at all.
“There is beauty to be found everywhere… even in the things that scare us.” Lotus is the story of Sydney and Oliver, childhood best friends who were inseparable up until the day Oliver went missing. Sydney grows up with a broken heart, never giving up hope for her best friend. All these years, I’ve never given my heart to anyone.The truth is, I didn’t have a heart to give. My heart was with a ghost. Escaping captivity after twenty two long years, Oliver is back in a world, and amon
“When I was five-years-old, I gave you my heart on your front porch, and you gave me an oatmeal cookie, and I’ve thought about that moment every single day for over two decades. Even when you were gone, you still held my heart.”“I’m not gone anymore, Syd.” His palms find my face, clasping my cheeks, tears slipping through his fingers. “I’m right here, with you, and I’m still holding onto your heart. Please don’t ask me to give it back.”Oliver Lynch went missing on 4th of July twenty-two years ag...
After reading 'Still Beating' by this author, Lotus became one I was highly anticipating, I am so glad I discovered this author, no matter what she writes it ends up ticking one or more of my boxes. This one wasn't as dark as I was hoping it would be, but boy did I swoon, giggle, and fall in love with these two characters. This author sure knows how to throw us unique reads and this was no different, I've not read anything like it before. I loved Oliver so much, his quirkiness, and just everythi...
ARE YOU KIDDING??? i’m in love. this story was beautiful, and SO UNIQUE! I’m not gonna lie, after ‘still beating’ I had high expectations.. and this did NOT LET ME DOWNNNN!! Childhood friends to lovers remains superior!!!!! Oliver had me so emotional this entire book, he was the perfect mix of sweet / romantic & innocent but yet spicy when needed. Sydney was an angel, and I adored everything about her. AND THE SIDE CHARACTERS IN THIS??? i’m obsessed. There was not a single moment where I wanted
and you get a star, and you get a star, and you get a gazillion stars because 5 stars definitely ain’t enough to say how much I loved this book !!!I took my sweet time finishing bc i didn’t want to be in the mood I am rn, sad bc I’m done and I can’t reread for the 1st time. You HAVE TO read this book!!!
4,5. Beautiful book.I’m speechless!It’s worth the reading.
holy - this book was freaking amazing. i am speechless. lotus 4 life 🥲🥲🥲
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2Even when he forgot everyone including his mom, he always remembered her. Considering I’m such a big fan of communication, it’s actually nice that he has no social boundaries and just says whatever he’s thinking. I’m having a hard time not picturing Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory as Oliver. Jennifer Hartmann is too fucking good. She lures you in with laughter, quirky characters and feel good moments and at the exact moment you’re totally relaxed and open she comes in for the kill! T...
