This isn’t the kind of book you devour in one sitting. It’s one you read slowly and digest. What’s Yours and Mine follows two families, the Venturas and Gilberts. The two families are deeply connect but neither seem to be aware of their tragically linked past. The story bounces between 2002 and present day and …
(thank you to @stmartinspress for the free book) You know when you’re reading a book and you’re 1000% sure you’ve figured out the plot twist so you read slower and get all “meh”? Um, yeah … this book smacked that smugness right off my face. I was wrong. So wrong. I’m a sucker for Hollywood themed books. …
(thank you to Atria for the free book) I’m fairly certain that I will read anything Jennifer Weiner writes and love it. Her characters just feel so real and relatable. She weaves timely and import messages into her stories. She doesn’t shy away from the difficult or the heartbreaking. That Summer was no exception. Daisy …
This book was pure perfection. Seriously. Everything about it was exactly what I wanted and needed. I loved Poppy and Alex. I loved their banter. I loved their summer trips. I loved their commitment to who they were and the way they embraced each other’s quirks. While this was definitely a slow-burn friends to lovers …
Can I give this book 10,000 stars? I don’t even know how to write a review that even begins to touch the pure magic that lives inside this book. When I first started reading A.J. Fikry, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. But I quickly warmed up to this curious and cranky …

(thank you to William Morrow for the free copy) I absolutely LOVED Alison Hammer’s first novel, You and Me and Us. So, I had insanely high expectations for Little Pieces of Me. And it did not disappoint. I felt every single emotion on this roller coaster of a book. I felt both anger and sympathy towards Betsy/Elizabeth. …
(thank you @atriabooks for the free book) This book was so incredibly immersive! I loved how the entire story was woven together and how the characters developed over the course of the book. I’m not sure I’ve read anything like this book before. Evelyn and Harriet both carried their secrets and pain while also carrying the strong …
(thank you to Berkley for the free ebook) Y’all, I’ve been reading romance for a very long time. A long, long time. I’ve met many swoon-worthy men. I’ve swooned. I know I have. But I’ve never had a book boyfriend quite like Rabbi Ethan Cohen. Seriously. Serve me that man on a platter. He’s hot, …
(thank you to Avon Books for the free copy) Have I mentioned how much I love the fake romance trope? Seriously. It’s my favorite. I literally get giddy the instant I realize it’s about to happen. So, First Comes Like was right up my ally. I adored Jia and Dev. I loved how kind and …
[out 4.6.21] (Thank you to Atria & NetGalley for the gifted copy) If I were to picture a novel that portrayed the excess and dangers of stereotypical 1980s NYC, it would be Astrid Sees All. Drugs. A little rock & roll. Clubs. A random serial killer, because, why not? Yes, it was a lot and …
