I have mixed feelings about this book. Overall, the book is an enjoyable, escapist book. I’m going to start with the parts I didn’t like and end with what was done well. This review is not spoiler free, so proceed at your own risk! First off, I don’t understand all the questions that were in […]
Oh, the pining! Such perfection that it’s pretty closely tied for my favorite India Holton novel The League of Gentlewomen Witches. Having geography be the study of magic and magical disasters was such a fun twist to the academic profession. The characters were all such wonderfully written, from the two main characters to even the […]
India Holton’s books are always such a romp of a good time! They’re lighthearted, adventurous, and absurdist while also having a realness to them at the same time. With The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love, there’s Beth and Devon who are both so wonderful as characters and as a couple. I always love a good […]
I keep going back and forth on how to rate this book. There were some elements I really loved and others that I didn’t connect to or could be better worked on. Starting with what I didn’t like. I know I’m not a fan of insta-lust or insta-love trope, I feel like with this type […]
This was a really adorable book! I decided to read it due to the fact that Maya knows nothing about sports, and while I’m completely ignorant of sports, I do like the fact that she’s not super knowledgeable of sports. Sometimes when reading sports romances, I feel lost in the sports parts. The fake-dating is […]
If there’s a word I always connect with Erin A. Craig’s novels it’s atmospheric. She does such an amazing job of pulling the reader into the setting and making it as real for them as possible. A Land So Wide is a masterpiece of the wild frontier. Before going into everything I loved about the […]
After finishing this novel, I looked up the background info for the novel. Specifically, what genre is this classified under which depends on what source is looked up. On the publisher website it’s “literary fiction,” the copyright page classifies this as “erotic” and “romance” fiction, and Goodreads has it listed as “romance,” “fiction,” and “contemporary.” […]
I laughed so much while reading this book. Such a fun and adventurous story of a retelling of a Grimm Fairy Tale story. Melilot is such a typical middle child personality that it just adds to the humor when she’s annoyed by her sisters, mother, and the situation she’s in. The growth that Melilot goes […]
The world-building, the characters, even the romance was all excellent. I couldn’t get enough of this book and only sleep kept me from it. I absolutely found the entire world that Varela created was so fascinating. It was definitely a bit creepy thinking about AI taking over (a nightmare of mine). The tension between humans […]
I really enjoyed the book up to the ending. It was filled with enjoyable dark humor and a great message. But I would’ve liked to have a bit more closure in the novel. I loved how all the women came together to help each other. Was it a little outlandish? Yes, of course, you’ll definitely […]
