[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 […]

Emily’s Review: Love at First by Kate Clayborn

Sixteen years ago, a teenaged Will Sterling saw—or rather, heard—the girl of his dreams. Standing beneath an apartment building balcony, he shared a perfect moment with a lovely, warm-voiced stranger. It’s a memory that’s never faded, though he’s put so much of his past behind him. Now an unexpected inheritance has brought Will back to that same address, where he plans to offload his new property and get back to his regular life as an overworked doctor. Instead, he encounters a woman, two balconies above, who’s uncannily familiar . . .

No matter how surprised Nora Clarke is by her reaction to handsome, curious Will, or the whispered pre-dawn conversations they share, she won’t let his plans ruin her quirky, close-knit building. Bound by her loyalty to her adored grandmother, she sets out to foil his efforts with a little light sabotage. But beneath the surface of their feud is an undeniable connection. A balcony, a star-crossed couple, a fateful meeting—maybe it’s the kind of story that can’t work out in the end. Or maybe, it’s the perfect second chance . . .

[Lisa’s Review]: You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

So, I have mixed feelings about this book. The synopsis drew me in from the beginning – a couple that tries to their hardest to make each other quit their relationship? Pranks? Sabotage? Usually, I’m totally game for this sort of cat and mouse game; but I’m sad to say, I didn’t like the book […]

[Skye’s Review]: The Honey-Don’t List by Christina Lauren

This all-star writing duo never fails to captivate me from page one. Their books are addicting, fun, swoon-worthy, and entertaining. As soon as I started reading The Honey-Don’t List, I couldn’t stop. Fast forward a few hours later, not only have I finished the book, but my heart was happy, and there was a huge […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

This book was such a fun read, and I fell in love with the romantic-comedy that Lina and Max embodied. Lina Santos is a wedding planner who was dumped at the altar, and she did not let it stop her. What I loved about Lina was her hardworking attitude and how she never gave up. […]

(JoJo’s Book Review) : Get A Life, Chloe Brown By Talia Hibbert

When I saw the cover of Get A Life, Chloe Brown I was immediately drawn in, I didn’t even read the blurb yet I was just hypnotized by the cover, I am pretty sure if it could talk it would say something in Chloe Brown’s voice basically demanding that I stop being ridiculous and read […]
