I don't read enough whodunnits. Between Glass Onion and the Agatha Christie movie remakes with Kenneth Branagh, I'm always super invested in these stories, but I never seem as drawn to them when they're in book form. When I saw that People To Follow by debut novelist Olivia Worley was basically a teen-influencer version of … Continue reading Book Review: People To Follow
Alexis Hall has been writing books of different genres at a seemingly alarming rate. In my head, Boyfriend Material did not come out that long ago, but somehow, it's already been over three years. And there's a sequel called Husband Material that I have yet to have the chance to read. Not to mention A … Continue reading Book Review: 10 Things That Never Happened
This time last year, I was reviewing Erin Hahn's Built To Last, and I can't believe almost a year has flown by... where has the time gone? I seem to be on a romantic-comedy spree these days, so Hahn's latest, Friends Don't Fall In Love (being released in October), was a nice companion to what … Continue reading Book Review: Friends Don’t Fall In Love
This is officially the summer of the romantic comedy for me, and I'm definitely not complaining—especially when there's been such a strong showing from new writers or writers trying new genres. Love Interest (which will be in stores October 10; perfect for the holidays) is the debut novel by Clare Gilmore that takes place at … Continue reading Book Review: Love Interest
What I love about YA of this time—as opposed to when I was growing up—is that there's so much more diversity and messaging of being happy with who you are. That's probably a big reason why I still read it: It's easy for me to go back to high school and imagine how I would … Continue reading Book Review: Her Good Side
Since I read Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center almost four years ago (ah!), I've been so excited to read anything by the author. Her stories tend to be very different from one another, which is refreshing as a reader, so each story really feels new and not recycled. Center's latest, Hello … Continue reading Book Review: Hello Stranger
I've never seen the movie Sliding Doors, but I'm always so intrigued by stories that show how one decision could end up affecting or changing someone's whole life. When I read the synopsis for Going Bicoastal, I knew a story like this would be safe in Dahlia Adler's hands—her stories are always well-told with strong … Continue reading Book Review: Going Bicoastal
Ivy Owens, the author of Scandalized, is actually a pseudonym for very popular writer Lauren Billings of Christina Lauren fame. I was in the second I found out because I love everything Christina and Lauren write. Plus, who doesn’t love a story about a regular person having a whirlwind affair with a celebrity? Exhausted and … Continue reading Book Review: Scandalized
While on vacation, I was looking for some quick, spicy reads to transport me to a place of relaxation. I read Helen Hoang's The Kiss Quotient a few years ago and loved it—the characters were different but great, and the spice level was spicy without going too far. When I found out she had a … Continue reading Book Review: The Bride Test
Since I had The Intimacy Experiment queued up on my Kindle right after finishing The Roommate, I figured I would give this Rosie Danan duology (though really they can be read separately) a go, since I rarely get to read anything back-to-back anymore. Naomi was so intriguing to me in the first book that I … Continue reading Book Review: The Intimacy Experiment
