Book Review: Come As You Are

8th Sep 20256th Sep 2025Leave a comment

Dahlia Adler is a writer that I've been coming back to for a few years now. Her books are by no means my favourite, but she usually writes strong, well-developed characters with great dialogue that I really enjoy. She also usually writes queer characters, which isn't the case here with Come As You Are, her … Continue reading Book Review: Come As You Are

Book Review: How To Get A Life In Ten Dates

9th Dec 20248th Dec 2024Leave a comment

I'm not going to lie; I read this book almost two months ago and just haven't had the time to put together this review. I think it was a bit because I wasn't totally sure what to say about it—and I wanted to think about it. But then time just kept dragging on and the … Continue reading Book Review: How To Get A Life In Ten Dates

Book Review: Catch and Keep

Erin Hahn now has a trilogy of sorts, that started with Shelby and Cam falling in love in Built To Last, then following Shelby's friend Lorelai falling in love with Craig in Friends Don't Fall In Love and now we finally have the last friend of the group, Marin, who is trying to find her … Continue reading Book Review: Catch and Keep

Book Review: The Break-Up Pact

26th Aug 202423rd Aug 20241 Comment

Emma Lord is one of those authors who has a couple of books that I actually think about every so often. Tweet Cute was really, well, cute and Begin Again captured my heart. Heck, even Getaway List has a good premise that I enjoyed. When I saw that she was venturing out of YA and … Continue reading Book Review: The Break-Up Pact

A couple are arm in arm with their backs turned to the camera. They dressed for early winter. They are looking at a cityscape.

Book Review: We Met in December

26th Dec 202226th Dec 2022Leave a comment

It's the holidays, which means it's time to dig into the winter and Christmas-themed books I've been holding onto all year. I started with We Met in December by Rosie Curtis...only to realize that what I meant to read was A Day in December by Josie Silver—whoops! I guess that one will have to wait … Continue reading Book Review: We Met in December

Book Review: A Guide to Being Just Friends

19th Dec 20221 Comment

If you know me at all, you know I love a good friends-to-lovers trope (not as much as enemies-to-lovers, but we need to change it up every so often). When two people aren't looking for love and are so drawn to each other that they can't stay apart...those are the kinds of stories I want … Continue reading Book Review: A Guide to Being Just Friends

A man and women stand facing the camera holding hands. We only see them from the waist down. They are both covered in paint and holding paintbrushes. There is newspaper all over the floor.

Book Review: Built to Last

3rd Oct 20227th Oct 20223 Comments

I don't know how we're already in October, but somehow the year is just flying by. I haven't even been reading all that much either—and not because what I'm reading isn't enjoyable, but just because I'm so darn tired. I definitely need things that are easy on the brain right now, and Built To Last … Continue reading Book Review: Built to Last
