I Will Never Get Over Lucy Score’s Things We Never Got Over
I think the popular romance books might have me in their clutches. First, I went through the Ali Hazelwood books, then I finally started the Windy City series, and now Lucy Score’s Things We Never Got Over has left me with a romance book hangover. I don’t even mind! It is certainly worthy of its…

Going off the Deep End With Ali Hazelwood’s New Book
I, like many other romance readers, have been waiting for Deep End since its announced release. Mixing the academic romances of The Love Hypothesis and Love, Theoretically with the college sports romance that have also been making the rounds on bookish social media, Deep End sounded like a great time and I couldn’t wait to…

Elle Cook’s The Man I Never Met Is Not The Love Story You Expect
When I picked up the Man I Never Met, I didn’t expect it to be a love story with a cancer diagnosis. I had never thought of such a thing before, and I have been pleasantly surprised and moved by the power of such a romance. Elle Cook’s The Man I Never Met is a…

Summer Fridays by Suzanne Rindell Had Me In A Chokehold
Yes, before you ask, I did time this read to be posted on a Friday at the tail-end of the New Zealand summer. What did you expect from me, it’s in the book’s title. Summer Fridays by Suzanne Rindell came up as a one-off recommendation somewhere – I don’t remember where, likely Bookstagram – so…

Beach Read Is My Favourite Emily Henry Book
Another February post, another romance review. Emily Henry’s Beach Read is a popular one and I finally got around to reading it. I have to say, I was a little disappointed by the misleading title, but not in the way that you would think. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews…

Ali Hazelwood’s Not In Love Takes A Different Approach
Riding off the high of Ali Hazelwood’s books The Love Hypothesis, Love on the Brain, and Love, Theoretically, I picked up Not in Love to see if it was up there with the rest of them. Safe to say it missed the mark for me. With a warning at the beginning to prove it wasn’t…

Ashley Poston Proves Love Isn’t Dead in the Dead Romantics
I’m back on the romance train, this time with Ashley Poston’s The Dead Romantics. It is as much a tale of confronting the past as it is the present, and through in some emotional turmoil left, right, and centre, and you have this witty, heartfelt, joy of a read. Sometimes the best romances are wrapped…

Love, Theoretically By Ali Hazelwood Might Be My Favourite
Love, Theoretically shouldn’t have floored me as much as it did, but I was hanging onto every word Ali Hazelwood wrote in this wonderful romance novel of hers. There’s disability rep with our main character Elsie, not just as a character in a novel but in a romance novel at that, we return to the…

Emily Henry’s Book Lovers – Adult Romance That Will Pull At Your Heartstrings
Emily Henry has been around for a while now and just like my long-awaited venture into Ali Hazelwood’s works, I have finally picked up one of Emily Henry’s masterpieces. Book Lovers had the familiar literary agent character I was willing to follow into the countryside, but what I got from this read was more than…

Love on the Brain – Another Banger by Ali Hazelwood
Love on the Brain, Ali Hazelwood’s second novel in her STEM romance series, is just as cute and funny as The Love Hypothesis. It takes a slightly different route with industry positions and company rivalry mudding the waters – not to mention past beef between our main characters – but the romance is just as…
