I have always loved the idea of being a screenwriter. I'm not really sure why because, contrary to writing this blog and my chosen career path, I don't really love writing all that much. I don't think I'm all that good at it. That being said, the thought of writing for TV fascinates me, and … Continue reading Book Review: The Rom-Commers
I watch a lot of reality television—almost a disgusting number of shows. And they're mostly competition shows, like The Amazing Race and Big Brother, or dating shows, like Love is Blind and The Ultimatum. So when I came across the premise for Christine Riccio's Attached at the Hip (Survivor mixed with The Bachelor?!), I was … Continue reading Book Review: Attached at the Hip
Mazey Eddings is a writer that I've been following for a little while now. Though I didn't read her entire "A Brush with Love" series, Late Bloomer will be the third book of hers that I read. I couldn't connect with Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, but I really liked Lizzie's friend Indira, so I read … Continue reading Book Review: Late Bloomer
Sophie Gonzales is a writer whom I've followed a little bit since 2021. I haven't gone back to read her back catalogue, but I've requested anything new since then. She writes YA, which is a genre that I'm not sure is quite for me anymore (except maybe in the fantasy realm), but I'm going to … Continue reading Book Review: The Perfect Guy Doesn’t Exist
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
