[Marie’s Review]: Our Woman in Moscow by Beatriz Williams

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and Our Woman in Moscow is surprisingly the first book by Beatriz Williams I’ve read. I was especially intrigued by Williams’ usage of actual Cold War espionage characters and events. Though Williams uses some dual timeline structuring that is extremely common in historical fiction, I found it […]

[Jess’s Review]: To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne

I feel like a word that will always come to mind with this book is enchanting.  This book made me swoon, sigh, cry, and laugh. Allllll of the emotions.  I felt such a connection to Gracie with her love for fairy tales and daydreaming her dream life and love life. She was such an incredible […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon

After reading Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon, I knew that I was going to love this book—and I was correct!! Rachel Lynn Solomon has this unique way of writing stories and characters that I immediately fall in love with, and that is exactly what happened with Quinn and Tarek. I connected with Quinn […]

[Shana’s Review]: Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur

Ok, if I wasn’t reading “Hang the Moon” by Alexandria Bellefleur to write this review…it would’ve been a DNF for me. Ugh, I just cringed writing that…but, look, I read it, went and read the prequel (that most reviews raved about, by the way), and then reread it…and still came to the same conclusion: “Hang […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Last Chance Books by Kelsey Rodkey

I remember reading the synopsis of this book and immediately feeling so excited with the idea of bookstore enemies turned lovers and I have to say that I was not disappointed! Madeline and Jasper were so fun to read and I enjoyed reading about their pranks and hilarious conversations all throughout the book. I loved […]

[Faiza’s Review] : The Nightborn (Stormbringer #2) by Isabel Cooper

This book had a strong prologue and introduced the main plot of the series but I had a hard time getting past the first 20% of the book. I felt like it dragged on a little, but after it the book picked up very fast. It follows the events of the first book in this […]

[Nadine’s Review]: Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter

“Enemies-to-lovers—it’s our trope, Buxbaum.” I ABSOLUTELY adored Painter’s cute as hell YA rom-com, Better Than the Movies!! It’s a rom-com about rom-com cliches, with two childhood frienemies, fake dating, lots of lol moments – what more could I have asked for?! Nothing. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I actually did and […]

[Taylor’s Review]: Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane

Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane was not at all what I was expecting. I felt like I read two different books perfectly woven into one, both being acts that are tied to each other but could have existed apart from each other. I spent the first 150 pages reading through tears, and the back […]
