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 […]

Review: I Love You So Mochi by Sarah Kuhn
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 […]
Hello There, September.
August was a tough reading month for me. I was in quite the slump and struggled to finish any full-length novel. I’m hoping September turns out to be a better reading month, but we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m not very inspired lately to read. I don’t know if it’s the state of […]
Review: The Wedding Date Disaster by Avery Flynn
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. […]
My Takeaways from Hamilton: An American Musical
Like many people, I have been a fan of Hamilton: An American Musical since I first heard it back in 2016. However, I never had the means or opportunity to see Hamilton on stage. So I was very excited to see Lin-Manuel Miranda’s creation with the original Broadway cast from the comfort of my own home through […]
Hello August!
July has come and gone, and we’re now over halfway through 2020. Thank goodness. July was a tougher month for me. I had a lot of motivation in June to be productive, and then I felt like I hit a low in July. Maybe it was the increase in COVID-19 cases, maybe it was the […]
Review: Keep My Heart in San Francisco by Amelia Diane Coombs
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 […]
Review: The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
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 […]
Hello July!
Well, we made it through the first 6-months of 2020. I think we all deserve a high five for that. The road to recovery is a long one whether you’re talking about the Black Lives Matter movement or the fallout of COVID-19, but I’m hopeful we’ll get through this. Humans are resilient, right? Personally, I […]
It’s June, and it’s apparently summer.
Is it just me or is 2020 proving to be one of the most difficult years in recent history? As if the COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t enough, the US is once again in a state of turmoil due to racist actions against Black people of color. Thankfully, we’re gradually making progress regarding the pandemic, and hopefully, […]
