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
Two summers ago, I read Bet On It by Jodie Slaughter, and it stuck with me. From the plus-size main character and how mental health was treated and discussed in a relationship to an expected level of spiciness I appreciated, I often compare more recent rom-com-type stories to it. When I saw that Slaughter had … Continue reading Book Review: Play To Win
While on vacation, I was looking for some quick, spicy reads to transport me to a place of relaxation. I read Helen Hoang's The Kiss Quotient a few years ago and loved it—the characters were different but great, and the spice level was spicy without going too far. When I found out she had a … Continue reading Book Review: The Bride Test
Bookstagram's favourite writing duo, Christina Lauren, has another book coming out this month (March 24—yay!) and I was very lucky to receive yet another advanced copy to review before it was released to the masses. It was just a few months ago that they released Twice in a Blue Moon, which, admittedly, was not my … Continue reading Book Review: The Honey-Don’t List

I had actually never even heard of her until I started poking around the bookstagram community... and I don't know how I managed it. When I asked where a good place to start was, I was told It Ends With Us. … Continue reading Book Review: It Ends With Us
I have so many books in my To Be Read pile that I didn't even know where to start, so I made a little poll and asked my bookclub which book I should tackle next (thank you, Spivesters!). Although it wasn't a unanimous decision, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid won … Continue reading Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
In a weird turn of events, this is the second week in a row that I'm reviewing a Christina Lauren novel, but this is the book I actually read first, so this is my first experience with their writing. (Yes, I say their because I didn't realize it was a duo penning these stories.) Though … Continue reading Book Review: Roomies
For a person who's read as many books as I have, and for someone who loves this genre, I really haven't read that many books by Sophie Kinsella. I haven't touched the Shopaholic series, and I think I've maybe read two of her other books, but I really do enjoy her writing. When my friend … Continue reading Book Review: Surprise Me
