[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

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 […]

[Taylor’s Review] : Second First Impressions by Sally Throne

Sally Thorne won me over with The Hating Game a few years ago and that love was cemented with 99 Percent Mine. 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, […]

[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 […]

[Gabrielle’s Reviews]: The Bright & The Pale

Going into reading this book, I had pretty neutral expectations. As an avid YA reader, it takes a lot for me to be surprised with books in the genre. I had hopes that something crazy and different and unexpected would happen as I read, and to be honest I was a little disappointed. For about […]
