Review: Prince of the Palisades by Julian Winters (Release 08/20/2024)
Overall this was a really sweet love story with a love interest after my own film-nerd heart, while also navigating how we all negotiate with the intersections of our identities and choose how we want to be seen existing in the world.

Review: Tangled Up In You by Christina Lauren (Release 06/25/2024)
The adaptation of Tangled is fun and enjoyable. I love the mix of Ren’s brilliant mind and her complete inexperience in the real world.

Review: A Happier Life by Kristy Woodson Harvey (Release 06/25/2024)
I didn’t want to put this book down. The story has a mystery, love stories, work drama and family drama. What more can you ask for in one book?

Review: Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan (Release 06/04/2024)
Summer Romance absolutely lives up to its title. This was a delightful, quick, uplifting romance. I appreciated the maturity of these characters and that they had real lives that were allowed to be actual considerations in their romance.

Review: The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center (Release 06/11/2024)
Thank you so much to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the eARC of this book! I found The Rom-Commers to be an absolute joy. This is a book filled with Katherine Center doing what she does best: putting characters through the horrors of life to prepare them to open their hearts to love in…

I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely loved Mattie and Logan’s story.

Review: Your Lonely Nights Are Over by Adam Sass (Release 09/12/2023)
I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Both of the Adam Sass books I’ve read have managed to find me exactly when I needed them.

Review: Hello Stranger by Katherine Center (Release 07/11/2023)
I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

And for much of the book, I found myself feeling like maybe this wasn’t my type of book, even though I had highly…
