By: Lily Chu This is a hard book for me to review. There are several things I really enjoyed about it, but there were these other parts that I just….did not. Which is frustrating. TO ME. I think this book had a strong base for an idea but, in the end, it just did not…

By: Linda Holmes Linda Holmes is such a good writer. I have read several of her articles and I especially enjoyed Evvie Drake Starts Over. Her writing just flows so well, and it is so lovely to read. You can really just get lost in the world that Holmes has created. That being said, I…

By: Ali Hazelwood I always feel slightly nervous for the second novel release from a writer whose first book is wildly popular or critically acclaimed. There must be a strange amount of pressure to show you are not some sort of one-hit wonder, or to prove you are an actual writer as opposed to someone…

By: Ivy Owens Well, well, well. I somehow stumbled upon yet another book where the hero is a super duper famous actor and our heroine is (very talented, don’t get me wrong) but just your typical “regular gal.” I would say I don’t know how this keeps happening but that would be a lie because…

By: Jen Devon I wish I could remember where I first read the blurb for this debut novel by Jen Devon because I really, really enjoyed this book. I would like to follow more of that person’s recommendations but the fact that I cannot remember sounds like who I am as a person so I…

By: Tessa Bailey Ugh. I was looking forward to reading this book. I enjoyed Tessa Bailey’s Bellinger Sisters series, especially Hook, Line, and Sinker (see review here). I really like Bailey’s writing style and the witty banter between her characters. Unfortunately, this work just doesn’t live up to Bailey’s talents. I get this is supposed…

By: Ali Hazelwood  A 3 for 1 deal today. YOU ARE WELCOME! Late last year, I saw The Love Hypothesis all over my IG page. I requested it from my local library and promptly forgot all about it. By the time it became available, I almost didn’t even go pick it up. But, I am…

By: Katherine Center It was not until I sat down to write this post that I realized two things about myself. One, I am a sucker for a romance novel featuring a male movie star falling in love (see reviews of Donut Fall in Love, Birds of California, Funny You Should Ask and Nora Goes…

By: Emily Henry THIS BOOK.  Emily Henry cemented herself as one of my favorite authors for contemporary women’s fiction/romance with her newest novel, Book Lovers. I love her clean, descriptive writing style. She also always finds a way to subvert typical romance tropes to make them appear fresh and new. Henry’s two previous novels, Beach…

By: Kate Spencer I devoured Kate Spencer’s In A New York Minute! It is a charming read, full of warm, well-intentioned characters. It is the perfect summer vacation book. I really loved not only the love story between the two main characters, but also their love for their respective, close friends and, of course, New…
