I received an E-ARC of this novel from the publisher through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This is one of the quickest books I’ve know would be 5 stars this year. I think I’d read Cel’s grocery lists, and I’ve added them to my list of auto-buy authors. This book felt like…

Review: My Roommate from Hell by Cale Dietrich (Release 11/11/2025)
Owen and Zarmenus were cute, and it was fun to see their relationship develop throughout the book. Seeing Owen eventually realize what he was feeling for Zarmenus, while Zarmenus flirted with him from the jump, was sweet. Bell absolutely stole the show for me though.

Review: Fade Into You by Amber Smith and Sam Gellar (Release 11/04/2025)
This book was super sweet, and I really enjoyed seeing Jessa and Bird blossom as they got to know each other better. They became each other’s safe harbor in lives that looked very different but carried similar levels of heaviness.

Review: The Love Haters by Katherine Center (Release 5/20/2025)
George Bailey and Rue are the highlights of this book and bring much-needed humor and lightness to the story. Rue and her Gals felt vibrantly real, and I loved the depiction of female friendship through them.

Review: The Corruption of Hollis Brown by K. Ancrum (Release 04/22/2025)
This book is full of such tenderness and I’m so glad that teens will have it. This is a story about community, and how survival depends on having a community around you.

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.
