Jayci Lee freaking crushed it with this story, holy crap! This book captured the desire to do what makes you happy juxtaposed with family expectations and assumptions perfectly. It is absolutely insane how well those feeling come off the page and make me feel seen. And the friends to lovers was so sweet, and hooo boy […]
Ooooh, this one was an enchanting read! In the acknowledgement the authors say that they hope the book felt like it was written happily during a continuous stretch of warm summer days. And friends, it delivers. Quirky artsy FMC with a brooding MMC and their marriage of convenience. I loved every moment of this book. […]
Since I freaking loved the first three in this series and the novella, it is a surprise to absolutely NO ONE I loved the most recent addition as well. This was a light, hot read. I would recommend this for the beach, but you might want to read this where you have access to your partner, or […]
This was an incredible and incredibly difficult book to read. I didn’t know about this memoir until recently, but it has been out for fifteen years. I mean, wow. I knew she had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, but reading her struggles was a whole other level. I appreciate how candid she was in […]
Another jaunty romp through Button Cove with book characters and magic everywhere! This is easily my favorite of the Three Tomes Bookshop books so far. The chaos, the pop culture references, ANNE BOLEYN, and I absolutely died at the mention of the Mallowan Hall series, which is also on my TBR. Having recently seen SIX […]
This was a very sweet, slow burn frenemies to lovers. It is one of those books that I can feel the emotion in my palms, if that makes any sense. Because I have sunk so far into smut reading, this is a different sort of romance than I currently read, but the kind of romance […]
This was a delight to read. There were parts that I actually laughed out loud at. The clowns – THE CLOWNS! I was dying! The dialogue was snappy and snarky in places, and I love me some snark. I absolutely loved the different aspects of two cultures and their assumptions coming together in this story. There were […]
This was an intense book. I was not expecting to read it so fast, but I was absolutely riveted. It also gave me some weird dreams, but I suppose that’s what I get for staying up until 12:30am reading it. The world building was amazing, I had no trouble envisioning the remoteness of the Upper Peninsula, […]
This is my favorite book by Colleen so far. The mystery gripped me, the tension was fraught and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. While I found some of the conversation stilted, I enjoyed the set up of the city and the settings for the book. It was very […]
As much as I love reading memoirs, especially when read to me by the author, I find it so hard to write reviews of them. I feel like I’m critiquing their life, not the way they told it to me, you know? Bah. Anyway… I have been a fan of Rebel Wilson since Pitch Perfect, […]
