[Shana’s Review]: The House Swap by Jo Lovett

Ok, the premise of “The House Swap” by Jo Lovett is darling!! Think, my favorite movie, “The Holiday”, but the love interests don’t meet in their vacation locales. They are the ones doing the swapping! It would make a great movie, so someone should really get on that, just sayin’. I will start by saying: […]

[Emily’s Review]: Inevitable (Love in LA #4) by Jenna Hartley

When my dad asked me to intern for his best friend, I knew I should’ve said no.

I had my own plans for the summer.
Ones that didn’t include revisiting my childhood crush.

Sleeping with the boss?
Probably not what my dad had in mind when he asked for my help.

But from the moment I step foot in the office, I can think of little else.
I still want Jonathan.

Am I willing to gamble my relationship with my dad and my heart?

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Prom Theory by Ann LaBar

This book was a fun read and I genuinely enjoyed the journey we had inside Iris Oxtabee’s head as she experimented with the mystery that is love. The best way I can describe this book is fun and predictable, and even then I enjoyed the characters we met and the crazy situations Iris got herself […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: When We Were Infinite by Kelly Loy Gilbert

TW: this book discusses topics of domestic assault/abuse, suicide, racism, microaggressions, mental health and illness, and panic attacks. This is my first Kelly Loy Gilbert book and wow, I am blown away. Beth’s story is achingly powerful and when interwoven by Gilbert’s writing, one cannot seem to escape from the pain and heartbreak that these […]
