⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ City of Girls is my first Elizabeth Gilbert novel. It will not be my last. I had the privilege of seeing her when she came to Nashville last month. She read an excerpt of the first chapter and hooked me immediately. There is a freeness in her writing that just sucks you in. The …
Thank you @netgalley and @simonandschuster for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review. #partner **Review** The Family Upstairs, Lisa Jewell (8/8/19) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know what just happened. I was so engrossed in the story and characters, that I have no idea what I just read. This is my first Lisa Jewell book …
**Review** The Last Post, Renée Carlino ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Last Post engaged me from page one, and I was desperate to love it. But, I didn’t. I liked it. Here’s what worked for me: I loved the writing. It was a smooth read. The concept was unique. And I liked the dual perspective. Oh and I …
**Review** The Golden Hour, Beatriz Williams ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oh my. What a massive web of lives (and a few little lies). The Golden Hour weaves together the story of two women, Elfriede and LuLu. I spent the entire book enthralled by these women and their lives. The characters were rich, deliciously flawed humans. The settings were …
**Review** The Blue Bistro, Elin Hilderbrand ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When I finished Summer of ‘69, my first Elin Hilderbrand read, everyone, including the queen herself, suggested The Blue Bistro. Let me start this review with a little Andrea factoid—until recently, my entire career has been in the restaurant industry. I’ve worked nearly every position inside the 4-walls …
The Unhoneymooners, Christina Lauren⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Ever read a book that’s so hyped, you’re terrified it will let you down? The Unhoneymooners is not that book. I laughed. A lot. I swooned. I cried. Honestly, it was perfect and I need more Oscar and Eragon.😏 Christina Lauren is a gem (is Christina Lauren singular or plural? There are …
On the Corner of Love and Hate, Nina Bocci⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Adorable. Relatable. Funny. Satisfying. There really isn’t much more I can say about On The Corner Of Love and Hate. Emma’s internal dialogue and imperfections made her likable. Cooper is the man you love to hate, but ultimately his charm and true intentions will win you over. …
**Review** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Room on Rue Amélie, Kristin Harmel If you read The Nightingale and loved it, you must read this book. Rarely do I find a book where I love almost every character (and the ones I don’t love die quickly), but I really loved nearly every character. I’m obsessed with all things WWII …
**Review** The Kiss Quotient, Helen Hoang⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️When I finished reading The Bride Test in May, I immediately added The Kiss Quotient to my June BOTM box. I have zero regrets. The Kiss Quotient was hot, steamy and pretty much perfection. I mean, I read it in less than 48 hours. Couldn’t put it down. As in …
**Review**Pretty Revenge, Emily Liebert (7/27/19)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️There are few things I love more than suspense novels that have strong characters and stories. The ones that don’t rely on suspense to steer the plot. Olivia/Kerrie and Jordan/Jordana were robust, strong and deeply flawed characters. The revelations of their history was perfectly tied together and laid out. I didn’t …
