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 […]

[Chelsea’s Review]: Pride and Premeditation (Jane Austen Murder Mystery #1) by Tirzah Price
As a lover of both Pride and Prejudice and murder mysteries, I was excited when I heard about this book. The author does an excellent job of recreating a similar reading voice to that of Jane Austen and it was interesting how she adapted the familiar characters into this retelling. I always appreciate a strong […]
[Kodie’s Review]: The Cost of Knowing By Brittney Morris
The Cost of Knowing by Brittney Morris was such an emotional read. From our first introduction to the main character, Alex, you are immediately drawn to him. Alex has had a rough childhood, losing his parents a few years ago, and now lives with his Aunt and brother. Alex was also cursed with the ability […]

[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 […]
[Skye’s Review:] Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers
One of the main reasons I was super excited to read Honey Girl was because of the main character Grace. Grace has finally finished her schooling and now has her Ph.D. in Astronomy. Sheโs been working on her degree for 11 years. Now, sheโs not sure what she wants to do. So much of her […]
[Chelsea’s Review]: The Last Goodbye by Fiona Lucas
This will be a spoiler-free review. I was instantly drawn to this book from the moment I read the synopsis and saw the comparisons to both Josie Silver and Jojo Moyes, who write beautifully heart-wrenching books. After reading this book, I can tell you that The Last Goodbye is just as beautifully written. I knew […]
[Marie’s Review]: A Pho Love Story by Loan Le
I will pretty much jump at any chance to read a book written with and for the Vietnamese American experience and A Pho Love Story is no exception. This romantic comedy is a cute twist on the Romeo & Juliet trope – if Romeo and Juliet were Vietnamese American young adults whose parents own rival […]
