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
Happy New Year! I'm so happy to be rid of 2021 forever—we can only go up from here, right? Just before the end of the year, I asked around to see if anyone recommended any "New Year" themed books, since I didn't get to read a holiday story around Christmas this year, and there was … Continue reading Book Review: Oona Out of Order
Another day, another YA story with a beautiful cover that sucked me in. I really appreciate the fact that Wednesday Books are so great to me in giving me advanced copies of their books—though I did miss the release date on You've Reached Sam because of this crazy year. I was drawn to this book … Continue reading Book Review: You’ve Reached Sam
No matter how much older I get or how much more I seem to need to "adult," YA always has my heart. The characters are well developed, the world-building is usually very well done, and young people tend to emote and feel things in a way that adults just aren't allowed to do (or feel … Continue reading Book Review: Where It All Lands
I didn't even know there was a sequel to Cecelia Ahern's P.S. I Love You until I was looking to stream the movie somewhere and went into a deep dive when I couldn't find it. I remember reading the first one just before the movie had come out, and it stuck with me, despite me … Continue reading Book Review: Postscript
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
