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…

Happy Place by Emily Henry is A Good Reminder For All
Happy Place by Emily Henry is that book where you know the content is going to be a little tear-jerking and bittersweet, and you are hoping it will also be funny. With the themes and setting of the book, I knew it would lean in this direction the moment I started reading, and I am…

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…

Ali Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis Has Made Me Like Romance Books
I’ve not been one to add romance books to my tbr list unless there are other elements to the stories that I know I will be interested in, such as a historical fiction setting or fantasy world full of rich detail, characters, and cultures. Reading contemporary romance is a once in a blue moon thing…

Beth O’Leary’s The Road Trip – A Read For Everyone’s Beach Bag
I might be a little biased, but Beth O’Leary is a frontrunner in the contemporary romantic comedy game right now. Her work feels so fresh and inviting and there’s never a dull moment. The Road Trip feels like that brilliant summer read for the beach or the poolside and you can guarantee you’ll be laughing…

Many things that I cannot help but laugh at (and cry at) and overall simply appreciate when it comes to good writing. Let me show you some of my favourite details. Let’s start with one very important wonderful detail –…
