Emma Lord's Tweet Cute is a book I recommend to anyone who is interested in YA or who wants to see if they could be into it, so when I saw Begin Again (hello, Taylor Swift reference!), I knew I had to get my hands on an ARC to review. Between the promise of pirate … Continue reading Book Review: Begin Again
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
Though I have only ever read one other of her novels, Sophie Gonzales has become one of those writers that I purposely follow to see if they have anything new coming out. I find her voice so refreshing and humourous—and she brings a different point of view to the typical young adult romance experience. When … Continue reading Book Review: Never Ever Getting Back Together
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
Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my favourite authors. I don't think it's in the cards for me this year, but I would like to complete her entire bibliography by the end of next year. And now that I've put it in writing...it must happen! Her latest, Carrie Soto is Back, is about a fictional … Continue reading Book Review: Carrie Soto is Back
When books feature multigenerational storylines, I sometimes worry because, generally, it means that the plot is going to be like a sweeping epic with little humour and a lot of trauma. There's nothing wrong with those things, but it's not what I'm drawn to as a reader. When I read the synopsis for The Fortunes … Continue reading Book Review: The Fortunes of Jaded Women
I’m not going to lie, when I read this synopsis on NetGalley to see if I wanted to review Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings, I’m not sure I was fully paying attention, or maybe I got confused with another book because I don’t recall requesting it. As I started reading it, I kept … Continue reading Book Review: Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake
When I'm thinking back to books that I enjoyed that take place at certain events over a long period of time, I immediately think of One Day by David Nicholls, which was really well done (and turned into a pretty good movie, too), so when I saw Ten Years by Pernille Hughes, I was definitely … Continue reading Book Review: Ten Years
Looking back through the books I'd read already this year, I hadn't read anything science-fiction or fantasy yet, which is surprising for the girl who grew up mostly reading YA dystopian novels. That's why when I came across the ARC for The Stars Between Us by Cristin Terrill, I was so excited to be brought … Continue reading Book Review: The Stars Between Us
As a lover of books, no one would be surprised to learn that I'd love to open a bookstore (with a café) one day. It's one of those "if I were to win the lottery and were able to quit my day job" kind of dreams. I think that's why I was especially drawn to … Continue reading Book Review: Booked on a Feeling
