This was so freaking cute!! At first, I wasn’t sure if this book would be for me. The writing style wasn’t working for me for the first couple of chapters. However, that all changed when Wren sent emails to the 4 guys he almost kissed. Needless to say, after that, I was immediately invested. Never […]

[Emily’s Review] Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune
From TJ Klune, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, comes Under the Whispering Door, a new contemporary fantasy about a ghost who refuses to cross over and the ferryman he falls in love with.
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead.
Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop’s owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.
But Wallace isn’t ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo’s help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life.
When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days.
By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this absorbing tale of grief and hope is told with TJ Klune’s signature warmth, humor, and extraordinary empathy.
[Lisa’s Review]: Out of Character (True Colors #2) by Annabeth Albert
I read the first book in this series and loved it; naturally, this one automatically made this year’s anticipated-reads-list. And I was not disappointed. It’s a super cute, surprisingly sexy, heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance that ticked quite a few of my ‘swoon’ boxes. Milo and Jasper actually were best friends when they were younger, so it’s […]
[Diane’s Review]: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
So badly I wanted to love this book. The premise was so amazing and the ensemble of characters was great! Going into this I was hoping for something similar to Casey’s previous novel. With this one I found it hard to connect with August. While I loved the idea of her, I found the way […]
[Diane’s Review:] A Dark and Hollow Star (A Dark and Hollow Star #1) by Ashley Shuttleworth
QUEER BOOK OF THE YEAR! ALSO I NOW LIVE IN THE UNSEELIE SPRING COURT! Where to even begin?! I mean, that’s obvious, so without further ado… From the top! Ashley kicks this book off with a killer Prologue. Normally I find myself slipping during these drawling bits of info dumping, but not theirs. I was […]
[Diane’s Review] Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell
Red, White & Royal Blue In Space!! I seriously LOVED this book! It was so cute and so sweet and filled my heart. But also, a bit like a murder mystery which I found quite fun! At some points I found myself getting frustrated with the lack of communication between Kiem and Jainan. I mean […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
When I first read the synopsis, I immediately requested this one to review. Male on male, fake boyfriends and British humor – sign me up. But to be honest, I didn’t like it all that much. If I hadn’t had to review it and I’d believe in DNF’s, I probably would have put the book […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
I read the synopsis for this one and was hooked. I knew I had to get my hands on this book as soon as possible. Conventionally Yours is a sweet, hilarious, and at times awkward enemies-to-lovers romance that will definitely make your day a bit brighter. For some reason, the majority of the male on […]
