In the third installment of Finlay Donovan's story, she is still trying to figure out who contract killer EasyClean is—and she has to figure it out fast before mob boss Feliks gets impatient and takes it out on her. Plus, we're finally getting a little more insight into her sidekick/nanny/accountant, Vero, which I'm excited about … Continue reading Book Review: Finlay Donovan Jumps The Gun
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
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
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
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
Back in the height of the pandemic I read Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall—and I loved it. I laughed out loud many times, fell in love with the characters (especially Oliver) and got to experience my favourite enemies-to-lovers trope done well. Did I think Luc was a bit of a downer? Sure. But the rest … Continue reading Book Review: Husband Material
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
Though I've had Tessa Bailey books on my TBR for a long time (heck, I even had some loaded up on my e-reader when I went on vacation in October), I haven't gotten around to reading anything of hers. When I saw that I could get a New Year's Eve-inspired story of hers on Amazon … Continue reading Book Review: Same Time Next Year
When I got denied this ARC in NetGalley, to say I was bummed was an understatement. For Carley Fortune's debut (and one of my favourite reads last year), Every Summer After, I got an early copy, but it became such a phenomenon—understandably—that I don't have enough clout for Meet Me At The Lake. Ha! But … Continue reading Book Review: Meet Me At The Lake
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
