I'd been trying to get my hands on a copy of Every Summer After since the moment I saw it become available on NetGalley. Though I don't know the author, Carley Fortune, personally, we actually both worked at the same company at the same time and I would see her in the kitchenette from time … Continue reading Book Review: Every Summer After
Wish You Were Here was the February read for my online book club and I won't lie: I wasn't super jazzed to read it. I'm not sure I've read anything from Jodi Picoult (maybe something when I was in high school but nothing is coming to mind) but what I do know is that usually … Continue reading Book Review: Wish You Were Here
Jennifer Weiner has been in the publishing industry for as long as I've been choosing my own books. Her debut novel Good In Bed came out in 2001; I was twelve years old and remember thinking the title was scandalous. Twenty-one years later, I got my hands on an ARC of The Summer Place (in … Continue reading Book Review: The Summer Place
I've read enough Taylor Jenkins Reid to know two things: that I will be having a hard time putting the book down to go to sleep and that I will not be disappointed. I'm trying to spread out getting through her bibliography because I don't want to rush and have nothing left to reliably go … Continue reading Book Review: One True Loves
I've only read two Katerine Center novels, and I loved both of them, so when I got the opportunity to get an advanced copy of The Bodyguard (in stores July 19!), I knew I was probably in for a treat. Center always had strong female characters in her books that are complex, deep and believable, … Continue reading Book Review: The Bodyguard
I know I'm not the only one who ran to a (digital) bookstore after watching Bridgerton on Netflix earlier this year, but as soon as the season ended, I needed to know more about Julia Quinn's now-famous Regency-era family, so I thought I'd dive straight into the books. For those who don't know, every book … Continue reading Book Review: The Duke and I (Bridgerton 1)
I had heard a few months ago—heck it was probably a few years ago—that there was story out there about a mom hooking up with Harry Styles (or who was essentially Harry Styles), and it was getting a lot of buzz. At the time, I figured it was fan fiction and moved on. It wasn't … Continue reading Book Review: The Idea of You
Beth Corby's debut novel Where There's A Will was one of my favourite reads from 2019. It was unexpected, heart-warming, and took us on an amazing adventure. When I saw her follow-up story, Leave It To Fate (in stores February 4) was coming soon, I knew I had to read it. I was ready to … Continue reading Book Review: Leave It To Fate
I’ve read a lot of Christina Lauren this year—sue me! This has been a year where my favourite writing duo have had exactly what I've wanted to read: light, funny contemporary romance that will help me get through this horrid year. Josh + Hazel's Guide to Not Dating is one of their older books, but … Continue reading Book Review: Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating
Those of you who read my blog probably have no idea what I look like, but I'm a plus-sized woman. And to top it off, I'm one of those plus-sized women who has embraced the word "fat." I am fat, I have fat, and that's just the way it is. That's why I was so … Continue reading Book Review: One To Watch
