    Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn 

    Content:➺ forced proximity ➺ fake relationship ➺ funny  ➺ found family Meghan Quinn is a hit or miss author to me. I think she tries too hard to cram humor in at every point in her books, that it becomes forced. She also adds so much unnecessary spicy scenes that story gets superficial.  That’s exactly what happens in Till Summer Do Us Apart. Weird storyline. Ludricous marriage camp. Forced humor. And too much spicy! A cringey read all the way through.  ❝ When we get caught up in ourselves and become complacent with our everyday life, we tend to forget how our choices can affect our partner. ❞ I got what I…

    Maestro by Auden Dar

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  second chance ༊*·˚.  friends to lovers ༊*·˚. angst  ٭⊹•꧂ This was an overly angsty read! It became more of a chore to me than anything else. It felt like the book would never end. The characters goes around and around and the story does not move forward. Constant flashbacks on every page to the 13 year old stage of life. Drama, drama, drama and more drama at every page. It felt like these two were never ever gonna get it together but I was glad when they finally did! “We belong together. and no obstacles could ever take away our love” For some, first love is a fleeting spark heralding the greater…

    Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus 

    Content:➺ set in the 1950s and 1960s ➺ magical realism ➺ feminism  ⚠︎ Trigger Warning ⚠︎⋙ rape ⋙ sexual assault ⋙ misogyny ୨⎯ Your mental health matters. If any of these topics are sensitive to you, please proceed with caution or skip this one ⎯୧ I just missed the joke here, completely! I did not laugh out loud one time. This book was sad and disturbing. I honestly cannot understand how a book full of domestic violence, rape, suicide, death, bullying, sexism and other dark subjects is considered funny. I am shocked by the high star reviews and people calling this a comedy. Not to mention this must’ve been one of…

    The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

    Content:➺ 18th-Century Maine Setting⁣ ➺ based on true events ➺ pioneering midwife ➺ feminist ➺ mature characters I enjoy reading historical fiction every now and then and I thought this book had all the ingredients to make me love it— a midwife main character that was also a real person, who left behind a diary and the author used to write this novel —but sadly this could not hold my attention. It was very slow for me. Half way through I just stopped reading it. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad book by any means,  just not the right book for me. I would still recommend it if you don’t…

    Spotlight by Rebecca Jenshak

    3.25 stars Content:꧁•⊹٭  single mom *·˚ sport romance *·˚ baseball *·˚ he falls first *·˚ found family *·˚ bookish FMC *·˚ golden retriever MMC ٭⊹•꧂ The dialogue was cute. The plot moved at a reasonable pace. The characters have chemistry, but the story was lacking. Flynn was the highlight of the book for me. I loved that he always acknowledged that Olivia was a mom first and included Greer often. The goldenest of golden retrievers! Overall, It is a good book but nothing really special stands out.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 4 in the Holland Brothers Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read…

    Left of Forever by Tarah DeWitt

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  second chance *·˚ childhood friends to lovers *·˚ forced proximity *·˚ road trip *·˚ small town  ٭⊹•꧂ There is just no yearning for the second chance relationship. No pining over. They both magically realize they’re still in love five years later and bum! They were head over heels for each other again.  Also, there is a hell of a lot of inner monologuing but they don’t actually have a conversation. They simply don’t talk. It became all too corny and predictable, to the point where I probably could’ve just skipped to the end and knew the outcome.  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Spunes, OR Series. Each book in this…

    It’s a Love Story by Annabel Monaghan

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  rivals to lovers *·˚.  insta love *·˚.  summer romance *·˚. forced proximity  ٭⊹•꧂ Sadly, I couldn’t connect with the characters and their story. Also, the pacing was a little slower than I prefer. I was so bored. I’m super bummed because I adored Annabel Monaghan but this book wasn’t for me. “I am so beautiful. I am so wanted. Inside this kiss I am all the things I have believed I am not.” From the USA Today bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script, a novel about a former adolescent TV punchline who has left her awkwardness in the rearview mirror thanks to a fake-it-till-you-make-it mantra that has her on the cusp of success, until she…

    Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid

    Content:꧁•⊹٭  sapphic romance *·˚.  character driven *·˚. astronomy *·˚. queer awakening *·˚. friends to lovers *·˚. workplace *·˚.  astronauts *·˚. slow burn  ٭⊹•꧂ This book started off slow. There was so much space science talking in the beginning that it took a bit for the story to really kick in for me. But once it did, I was super invested. The last third part was intensely compelling, raw, and SO beautiful. The ending was rather abruptly though, it left me wanting an epilogue to give me more closure. However, this author has a way of bringing out deep emotions in me, I should never doubt her, everything TJR touches is gold. 4.5 stars rounded…
