It’s been a couple of months since my last review—which wasn’t intentional, but felt oddly fitting as I worked my way through this one. Emma Lord is usually a big win for me, particularly when it comes to her YA novels, which I’ve consistently liked a lot. That said, her step outside of YA with … Continue reading Book Review: For The Record
This time last year, I was reviewing Erin Hahn's Built To Last, and I can't believe almost a year has flown by... where has the time gone? I seem to be on a romantic-comedy spree these days, so Hahn's latest, Friends Don't Fall In Love (being released in October), was a nice companion to what … Continue reading Book Review: Friends Don’t Fall In Love
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

I just kept hearing from people everywhere (including my … Continue reading Book Review: Daisy Jones and the Six
When I saw on NetGalley that there was a new Jill Mansell novel coming out, I didn't even read the synopsis before I requested it. And I was even more shocked when I got accepted. It is only then that I realized that Kiss is a new release, technically, but it is a reprint from … Continue reading Book Review: Kiss
It should come as no surprise that I hadn't read an Elin Hilderbrand novel until I picked up Summer of '69. And as soon as I started following what people were saying about it, I realized that, similar to when I read Jennifer Weiner's Mrs. Everything a few weeks ago, the style was not typical … Continue reading Book Review: Summer of ’69
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
