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
Ever since I started on this book journey, I've been hearing about so much buzz about Katherine Center's How to Walk Away (and her much-anticipated summer release, Things You Save in a Fire—which I will be reviewing in coming weeks), that I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. I honestly went … Continue reading Book Review: How to Walk Away
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
I've heard about Jennifer Weiner since Good In Bed in 2001, but at the time I was too young to read her, and I strangely haven't gotten around to reading anything of hers since.

I'm a sucker for stories where the protagonist has to follow a series of tasks to get to a big reveal. And when it's after someone's death (à la P.S. I Love You or 13 Little Blue Envelopes), I usually know I'm going to get a thrill out of it. When There's A Will by … Continue reading Book Review: Where There’s a Will
I've been quietly anticipating the next installment of Sally Thorne's work ever since I read The Hating Game last year. I know I was a little late on picking it up (a friend recommended it to me when I asked about light beach-read-type books), but it was definitely one of my favourite reads from last … Continue reading Book Review: 99 Percent Mine
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
