Way earlier this year, I recommended a YA romance, The Do-Over by Lynn Painter to my daughter. I thought she might enjoy it. She said ok (she has a ginormous TBR of her own) and nothing else was said. Fast forward to the new school year (middle school, omg), she comes home with a book […]
I absolutely loved this book. I DNFd the book I was reading right before it, so I was completely over the moon to be grabbed by the shirt and pulled right into this one from the get go! The sex and body positive writing in this book was phenomenal. A lot of times in romance, […]
A super sweet read, even without the cupcakes! A fake dating, everyone catches feels romance that was light, and the third act disaster was amazing! No break ups because of communication bullshit! It was what they needed, and I really liked how it all came together. I also loved how Jada and Donovan learned from […]
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.

I absolutely loved the different aspects of two cultures and their assumptions coming together in this story. There were […]
Short break from Zodiac Academy for a light, frilly rom com – a perfect beach read! As a Michigander, it was a delight to read a romance novel set in the place I have lived my entire life. I picked this up at Book Suey in Hamtramck during the MI Book Hop. The author is […]
I straight up DEVOURED this book. I started reading Tuesday night and finished it Wednesday afternoon! Though, to be fair, this is a Once Upon a Book Club (OUAB) book, so I had gifties I was really looking forward to getting to! I am not a monthly subscriber, but I do pay attention to their […]
I absolutely loved this sapphic teammates to lovers rom com! What a cute romance. Just ah! So cute! The neurospicy elements were handled kindly, and showed one partner supporting the other by doing the things that they knew were overwhelming for the undiagnosed partner. And(!) in the process of researching how to support her partner, […]
