Finlay Donovan's story continues over (at least) four books, and this is the second one. I didn't love Finlay Donovan is Killing It as much as I thought I would, but I'm invested now and need to see what kind of hijinx our main character and her nanny Vero get up to. When the first … Continue reading Book Review: Finlay Donovan Knocks ‘Em Dead

Book Review: Finlay Donovan Is Killing It
I have been hearing about the Finaly Donovan series basically since it came out in 2021. At first, it didn't seem like it was my thing (you know I'm more of a romance or YA girl), but as time has passed and people in my circle keep talking about it, I figured I should try. … Continue reading Book Review: Finlay Donovan Is Killing It
Book Review: Even If It Breaks Your Heart
It was not that long ago that I was reviewing Erin Hahn’s Friends Don't Fall In Love where I was praising the fact that I liked that the author's characters weren't straight out of college...and then she comes out with a YA book with characters right out of high school. Despite this, I was really … Continue reading Book Review: Even If It Breaks Your Heart
Book Review: The Getaway List
Emma Lord has quickly become a must-read author for me. Though I have (accidentally, it seems) missed some of her novels, I still think about her debut novel Tweet Cute every so often—and actually I think about Begin Again, as well. She's a writer who clearly loves her characters and loves to make teens feel … Continue reading Book Review: The Getaway List
Book Review: Arya Khanna’s Bollywood Moment
I know practically nothing about Bollywood, but that doesn't stop me from loving what little I know from pop culture. Between the dancing, the drama, the epic weddings...what isn't there to love? The synopsis for Arya Khanna's Bollywood Moment gave me Never Have I Ever vibes, and I definitely wanted to be transported into that … Continue reading Book Review: Arya Khanna’s Bollywood Moment
Book Review: On The Plus Side
If I were ever to become an author—which will never happen—I would love to write a plus-size love story because fat people are just as loveable as everyone else, and I love to see the representation. One of my favourite books featuring a plus-size MC (or even books in general) is One To Watch by … Continue reading Book Review: On The Plus Side
Book Review: Our Cursed Love
No matter how many I read, I'm always a sucker for a good love story. And when I saw the cover for Our Cursed Love by Julie Abe, I was instantly drawn in: the colours, the imagery and the tagline... sold. Throw in a couple of YA characters and some magic realism, and I was … Continue reading Book Review: Our Cursed Love
Book Review: People To Follow
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
Book Review: Friends Don’t Fall In Love
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
Book Review: Love Interest
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
