In one of my book clubs I attend we were talking about the difference between historical and contemporary romance. With contemporary romance, there’s just usually not enough stakes going on to really care. A Merry Little Meet Cute tries to establish stakes with the main characters needing this movie to work out for their future, […]
This is actually the lowest rated Emily Henry book I’ve read. I’m a little shocked that I did rate it so low but here we are. I was really into the book at the beginning. I thought it was a fun and sweet novel, but after the first few chapters I knew that Poppy and […]
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 […]
I have never felt the need to go and yell at a fictional family more than I have in this novel! Every time I finish a novel, I go and look at the reviews to see what others say about it (really how different are their thoughts from mine and did we even read the […]
Part one of the book is really the best of the novel and saved it from being a 2 star read. Part two feels too one-sided and resolved the tension in an unsatisfactory way. I loved everything about part one! The tension and pining between Aphrodite and Evander was everything my heart wanted. Plus, Aphrodite’s […]
I definitely expected this to be a 4 or 5 star read as I usually rate Ashley Herring Blake’s books that high. But this one was a miss for me. I’m unsure what it was, whether it was the second-chance romance aspect or the holiday setting, but something was just not clicking. For the story […]
You know those books that you just want to wrap yourself in and escape the real world into? This is definitely one of them for me! The whole Dangerous Damsels series is a world I would love to live in and befriend Charlotte, Cecilia, Alex, and Ned. As with the first one, this is definitely […]
I definitely enjoyed this one more than Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake! I absolutely loved Isabel as a character. I thought she was so strong and independent, and her story was just so heart wrenching. Her character arc of learning to trust and love someone was so lovely to read. Isabel’s creation […]
