my life production through the pages
The Mistletoe Trap by Cindi Madsen is the perfect holiday read, especially if you enjoy friends-to-lovers romances. It has two best friends trying to spend as much time together over the Christmas holiday before heading back to their respective jobs states apart, a lot of meddling family members, and lots of laughs. What I loved […]
I was unfortunately disappointed by Ginny Baird’s The Duplicate Bride. I usually enjoy twin-swap books, and I found that the story flowed well between the two main character’s points of view. My issues with Jackie and the length of the twin-swap simply made The Duplicate Bride difficult for me to read. In the story, Hope goes to […]
I Love You So Mochi by Sarah Kuhn is a story filled with family expectations, family history, and learning to balance all of that while still being true to yourself, with some romance thrown in. I found I Love You So Mochi to be an interesting twist on the “tiger parenting” stereotype. Instead of becoming a […]
The Wedding Date Disaster by Avery Flynn was a fun, quick, enemies-to-lovers romance. It just fell short for me in regards to Hadley’s love interest, Will. In The Wedding Date Disaster, Hadley is depending on her best friend, Web, to accompany her on her trip back home for her sister’s wedding and posing as her boyfriend. […]
I picked up Keep My Heart in San Francisco by Amelia Diane Coombs because it brought back the nostalgia I have for the old bowling alley I used to hang out at after school, which is now long gone. Not only did Amelia Diane Coombs provide me that, but she created a story with a lovely […]
Arguably, The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon is a must-read. It took me longer than it should have to read it, but I’m glad I finally did. The variety of perspectives presented in the story wrapped with a sweet romance left me entertained and with a new view of the struggles some minority […]

You may click here for my review of Aurora Rising. Well, Aurora Burning happened. First off, thank you to Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff, and the entire team behind the publishing […]
Always a Bridesmaid by Cindi Madsen is the second book in the Getting Hitched in Dixie series. It’s a standalone novel, but if you read Just One of the Groomsmen, which I highly recommend, you’ll recognize Ford Maguire and his group of friends. Always a Bridesmaid was a very fun and quick contemporary romance. It was fun watching […]
How to Quit Your Crush by Amy Fellner Dominy is a companion novel to Announcing Trouble, which I absolutely loved! (If you haven’t checked out my review for Announcing Trouble, you can find it here.) The two can be read as stand-alone’s, but you do get some glimpses into Mai and Anthony’s story in Announcing Trouble. Mai’s attraction towards […]
Girl at Heart by Kelly Oram was a perfect read for me during these crazy times. Kelly Oram is quite good at writing sweet YA romances, and Girl at Heart did not disappoint. Girl at Heart is centered around a baseball-playing girl that is having a hard time being a girl among a bunch of boys. […]
