I'm always hesitant to read books that have a ton of hype behind them, especially when it's from an author that I am unfamiliar with. I worry that I will have such high expectations and that there is no way I can be anything but disappointed. I just kept hearing from people everywhere (including my … Continue reading Book Review: Daisy Jones and the Six
I was a little worried going into Things You Save in a Fire (in stores now!), because I had heard nothing but amazing things about it, and I had high expectations after reading How To Walk Away a couple of weeks ago. I knew I needed something to break the reading slump I've been in … Continue reading Book Review: Things You Save in a Fire
I don't really too many thrilling or suspenseful novels anymore. I went through a phase around the time of Gone Girl (you know, with everyone else) where I read a lot of them, but I seem to prefer lighter reads these days, or things that are more heartwarming, which could just be because of the … Continue reading Book Review: Lost You
I love a good retelling of a classic novel, especially when it's part of a story that I really enjoyed. I had to read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll for a children's literature class I did in university, and though it dragged on a bit for me, I really liked the characters, the … Continue reading Book Review: Ever Alice
When I saw on NetGalley that there was a new Jill Mansell novel coming out, I didn't even read the synopsis before I requested it. And I was even more shocked when I got accepted. It is only then that I realized that Kiss is a new release, technically, but it is a reprint from … Continue reading Book Review: Kiss
It should come as no surprise that I hadn't read an Elin Hilderbrand novel until I picked up Summer of '69. And as soon as I started following what people were saying about it, I realized that, similar to when I read Jennifer Weiner's Mrs. Everything a few weeks ago, the style was not typical … Continue reading Book Review: Summer of ’69
Every time I heard the expression "meet cute," I think of the movie, The Holiday when Kate Winslet's character learns about the term from that adorable, old Hollywood writer she helps find his way home. There have been some great meet cutes that I've read lately (My Oxford Year, for example) and I was really … Continue reading Book Review: Meet Cute
Ever since I started on this book journey, I've been hearing about so much buzz about Katherine Center's How to Walk Away (and her much-anticipated summer release, Things You Save in a Fire—which I will be reviewing in coming weeks), that I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. I honestly went … Continue reading Book Review: How to Walk Away
In a weird turn of events, this is the second week in a row that I'm reviewing a Christina Lauren novel, but this is the book I actually read first, so this is my first experience with their writing. (Yes, I say their because I didn't realize it was a duo penning these stories.) Though … Continue reading Book Review: Roomies
With summer quickly approaching, I'm really into fun, lighter reads these days, and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with anything by Christina Lauren. From the cover and the title (I find it really clever!) to the premise, I was hooked right from the beginning. The Unhoneymooners just came out on May 14, and if … Continue reading Book Review: The Unhoneymooners
