Review: Trick Mirror, Jia Tolentino I am going to attempt to condense my thoughts on this amazing book of essays in a neat little review. They weren’t easy to read. I couldn’t devour the words as easily as I normally do. Some caused discomfort, and all provoked thought and internal dialogue. Trick Mirror is a …
Review: Love Her or Lose Her, Tessa Bailey (thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for the gifted copy) I’ve been debating whether or not to post this review. I don’t like being negative but I also don’t want to be dishonest. So … here we are. I wanted to love this book. I wanted …
I have a love for books that buck conventions and challenge the status quo. Topics of Conversation did this on several fronts. The book is written in a stream of consciousness/journal-like style. The prose is almost lyrical in how it flows. I have a soft spot for that style of writing. I love being able …

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the gifted copy of All The Ways We Said Goodbye.

I’d read mixed reviews on Well Met before I picked it up, but after following Jen DeLuca on Twitter for a few months, I knew I had to read it. And, I was not disappointed. Well Met is a smart, well-written rom-com with a unique setting and deliciously flawed characters. I mean, y’all, a pirate …
This week, I’m reading working on editing my manuscript that I plan to start querying in a few weeks. This is (hopefully) the last rounds of edits and revisions. It’s been a slow few months for my writing, with several false starts and unfinished works. I’m hoping once I start getting this book out into …
I’ve been meaning to read this book for over a year now. It took me a bit to get to it, but I’m glad I finally did. The rich storytelling of Pachinko grabbed me from the first pages and I found it impossible to put down. From Sunja and her parents to her children and …
I chose This is Not How it Ends for my December Amazon First Reads choice. And boy am I glad I did. The first chapter of This Is Not How It Ends took my breath away and I’m still trying to catch it. I could not turn the pages fast enough. Charlotte, Phillip, Ben, and …
I think Beatriz Williams might be my favorite historical fiction author. The way she weaves together dual timelines and multigenerational stories leaves me breathless and captivated. The Summer Wives was a beautiful story of love and never giving up on those that have stolen our hearts.
