[Elizabeth’s Review]: Mr. Wrong Number by Lynn Painter
This book was so much fun to read, and I found myself unable to put it down. When reading the synopsis, I could tell that this book would be fun, witty and full of romance. Olivia—our main character—caught me by surprise. There have been several times when I have read a book with a quirky […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: Count Your Lucky Stars (Written in the Stars #3) by Alexandria Bellefleur
Starting this book, I had not read Bellefleur’s other works. After finishing, Count Your Lucky Stars, however, I am going to change that. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this read and seeing Margot and Olivia overcome their past miscommunication and ingrained fears regarding their history. While romance books are usually catnip for me […]
[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 […]
[Taylor’s Review]: Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane

Having been a fan of Thorne’s previous books, I jumped at the opportunity to read her newest novel Second First Impressions. Second First Impressions, is a contemporary romance novel that features Ruthie Midona, […]

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 […]
