Megan’s Musings – Landslide by Jenn Cooksey Review

01/31/2015

Landslide Jenn CookseyLandslide by Jenn Cooksey

New Adult. Standalone.

anas_attic_book_blurb_bar_01

For Erica and Cole, the bond of friendship was forged in childhood.

Now, torn and broken by grief, that bond will become paramount as two friends look to one another for comfort, strength, and hope in the aftermath of loss. On a journey taken both together and alone, Erica and Cole search for healing and life born anew. Although when mistakes, secrets and betrayal are revealed, the two must each learn to accept that even saints and some angels are human and people aren’t always who they appear to be.

But in the age old struggle to forget and forgive, realization dawns. And with it, so does the understanding that sometimes, the sturdiest foundation for the future lies buried in the dust of the past.

Because, for some people…love is friendship caught on fire.

This is a very difficult review to write because I don’t want to give too much away. I went into this book completely blind. I didn’t even read the description. And honestly, I think this made the book that much better for me. However, I want to make sure I do this book justice…and I’m sure I won’t, because it’s impossible….but I’m going to try!

This was a heart wrenching, yet beautiful, story about grief, sacrifice, healing, trust, and most of all love. And it rocked me to the core. In all honesty, the story started off a little slow for me, but all I can say is I am SO GLAD I stuck with it because it was way more than worth it in the end. By 20%, I was hooked and unable to put it down. In fact, I was up until 5:30AM reading!!! My girls came in to wake up mommy at 7:00AM…YIKES! I was tired! But, alas, there is no sleep for the wicked. I messaged Jenn and blamed her for my 1.5 hours of sleep and the bags under my eyes. And even though I complained, it was worth every second of lost zzz’s.

A really cool thing about this book is that each chapter is linked to a song, and listening to those songs as you go along adds so much dimension and depth to the story. The songs are PERFECT…enhancing the feel of the chapter. I am a HUGE music lover, so this was an extra special treat.

This book is real… not a fluffy love story. It evokes powerful and raw feelings within as you live through this journey with the characters. And that’s exactly what this was for me, a journey. There were many moments of humor…both of these characters are sarcastic and hilarious. I would totally be friends with them in real life. Here is a tiny example of Cole’s inner thoughts…

QUOTE MARKA dog could also explain my crazy dream. I was hanging out in the Mystery Machine with Scooby Doo and the gang. Except for Scrappy because that’s when the show took a dump and I have too much respect for myself to let that little punk-ass puppy into my dreams.ā€

But humor aside, there are all of the raw emotions that go along with sorrow, betrayal, and of course soul changing love. These two are passionate people…they FEEL HARD.

QUOTE MARKI can’t tell you why because there’s no reason to explain why or how I love you the way I do. I just do. Everything in me feels it. It lives deep inside me and has sharp claws, and it shreds my insides to ribbons so that I feel like I’m drowning in my own blood whenever I’m not with you. It’s something that’s so much stronger than I am, that no matter what either of us does, it won’t stop.ā€

ā€œBecause that’s what being in love is. It’s a brutal, bloody fight and what everyone hopes for is that it endures until death, even though the kind of love worth dying for usually hurts like a mother fucker at one point or another.ā€

 

Rating: 5 Stars, 4 Heat

Landslide Cooksey

 

This book gutted me raw. The whole time it has you on your toes because the layers just keep peeling back, revealing yet another piece to this complex puzzle. I finished this book and just sat there…breathing….taking it all in…trying to wrangle in my emotions…because there were A LOT of feels in this story. Huge book hangover after this one! So do yourself a favor, get this book, grab a drink and some tissues, and settle in for a brilliant ride. You will not be disappointed.

5 star read! (My 2nd this year) I don’t read a l 5 star read! (My 2nd this year)
I don’t read a lot of fantasy. I’m not really a Harry Potter fan and ACOTAR didn’t live up to the hype. But the hardcover of The Fourth Wing is so pretty! I wanted it, but I will not buy a book for my shelf that I haven’t read, and I just had a feeling The Fourth Wing by @rebeccayarros would be amazing. I almost DNFd when I realized it was about dragon riders, but gave it a chance and FELL IN LOVE. The 20+ hours went by in a flash and I couldn’t stop listening! Check out my detailed, spoiler-free review.

If you haven’t read @catherinecowlesauthor yet, If you haven’t read @catherinecowlesauthor yet, YOU NEED TO. Echoes of You is just another example of an amazing novel filled with love, mystery, suspense, family and romance. I loved the connection that the couple had and the mystery kept me on my toes.

The only reason I am not giving The Long Way Home The only reason I am not giving The Long Way Home by @harper_sloan a full 5 stars is because I didn’t re-read the Corps Security Series first. Had I done that, I would have been a blubbering, crying fool instead of just tearing up. Like Harper has said, The Long Way Home is the ending to the Corps Security Series that you didn’t know you needed, and it was SO WORTH THE WAIT. Now that Harper is back writing, I hope she begins a new series that won’t require me to remember so much., because I love her writing so much!

I love collecting foreign versions of my favorite I love collecting foreign versions of my favorite books!

I have gotten SO MANY messages thanking me for recommending my FAVORITE BOOK/AUDIOBOOK of 2022! Mary Jane by @jessicaanyablau was so amazing, especially in audio. This coming-of-age novel set in 1975 was different than what I usually read, and I so enjoyed seeing the 14-year-old sheltered heroine see what life is like nannying for a progressive family who happens to be hiding a rock star for the summer.

Mary Jane is the perfect summer read, especially if you grew up during this time, and the narration by @caitlin.kinnunen was absolutely outstanding.

I couldn’t recommend it more.

Thank you Jessica for this version of the book! I love it!

I couldn’t stop listening to The Perfect Marriag I couldn’t stop listening to The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose. The storytelling and narration kept me riveted despite all the ridiculous plot holes. I had such a hard time giving this a star rating because I really enjoyed the listen even though the story truly made no sense and could never even come close to happening in real life. Still, I will for sure be checking out more of Jeneva Rose’s books after reading this and watching her hysterical TikToks.
