[Elizabeth’s Review]: Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist by Codi Hall

I love the warm feeling that the holidays bring. Seeing that this book would revolve around Christmas, I knew it was a must read and I was excited to read about these best friends. Nick and Noel embodied the warm feeling of love and comfort that every Hallmark Christmas movie captures. Their dialogue and complete […]

[Brittany’s Review]: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

Let me start off by saying I am a HUGE fan of the “fake dating”, “fake relationship”, really fake anything trope. It is one of my guilty pleasures. This book did such a great job at creating a fake relationship! In this book you meet Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith. A twenty something year old woman […]

[Shana’s Review]: What If You & Me by Roni Loren

“What If You & Me” is the second book in Roni Loren’s Say Everything series and, I have to say, I liked it even more than the first(“Yes & I Love You”) and I Really loved that one! Though it is a series, they can both absolutely be read as standalones, but, if you can […]

[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 […]

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 […]

[Brittany’s Review]: The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary

Once I read the blurb for this book I was very intrigued. A road trip with exes? YES PLEASE. However, this book is deeper than you realize. The book focuses around two characters—Dylan and Addie—and a trio they are making to go to a close friends wedding. After breaking up nearly two years ago, Dylan […]

[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 […]
