I think this is my new favorite book by this author. Olivia and Max are both such endearing characters that you cannot help but root for them. Dare I say that this is the steamiest book that I’ve read by this author. The political twist was fun and I loved that Olivia was well established and didn’t necessarily need a man. This book makes me believe in love.

Megan Miranda has always been a go to thriller author for me! This one is pure chaos right until the last pages. Family drama that’ll definitely make you think your family is way more normal than you thought. There’s a lot of questioning on who to trust which I love in my thrillers!

In true Ashley Poston fashion, this book is whimsy and makes you believe in magic for just a little while. This one is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It felt very hallmark, but that was definitely the point. Our protagonist is very much in a cross roads in her life and stumbling into an unknown but known situation really sends her life into a tailspin. It was a little cheesy at times, but again I think that was intentional. But this one really makes you think about love and that happily ever after whatever that means. Mentally anticipated being emotionally destroyed and confirm this happen. I just love her books always have a little magic in them because I think that we could always use a little magic.

This one was incredible but I’m not surprised because I have loved evening Laura Hankin has written! Thank you @berkleypub for the advanced copy! This was a romance at its core but to me this is a story about friendship and holding onto the ones that matter most as you get older. It reminded me so much of my core friends and how we have been through everything together and come out of it stronger. Natalie and Gabby felt like people I’d be friends with! MVP of this book is Angus and his emails!!

This book was perfect and I’m not okay after reading it. It’s about second chances and found family and rediscovering passions. It’s funny, it’s sad, it’s steamy… like I said it’s perfect. This made me want to hug my loved ones so tight!

great if you’re all about taking down “the man”. The man’s perspective aka part one draggssss and now that I’m thinking about it maybe that was intentional. I loved the addition of the mixed media and the different opinions and forms of trolling that came from it. All in all is solid read and one that definitely made me think!
