Book Review: If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia
I simply could not pass this book by when I heard that it’s a romcom set in the 90s. Better yet, it’s set in the 90s at a New England bed and breakfast during the fall. I picked the book up around Thanksgiving, which is always the time of year I feel myself craving some…

Book Review: Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borrison
This has been one of my most anticipated reads of 2025. For the past couple of years, I’ve gone back and forth about wanting to pick it up because I loved the cover, but I had other Christmas-themed books I’d been saving to read. After reading my first B.K. Borrison book earlier this year, I…

Book Review: The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
I had so many conflicting emotions while reading this book, but in the sense that I was engrossed in the story. I can’t remember another book off the top of my head that made me feel quite the same way while reading it…

Book Review: Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I had been so geared up to read this book when it was first published (after reading Malibu Rising), but I kept putting it off for some reason. I wish I hadn’t now, because I felt like I was reading it out of a sense of duty to my past self, despite the fact that my excitement…

Book Review: The Secret War by Stacy Lynn Miller
For once, I was aware that I would be starting in the middle of a series. The synopsis was too intriguing to pass up. Unfortunately, within a couple of chapters, I realized that this is a series that absolutely needs to be read from the beginning. I was missing a lot of the backstory, and…

Book Review: A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams
I keep turning to Beatriz Williams’ books for historical summer beach reads and I don’t know why. I love the concepts. At a glance, the synopses sound good, but then I open the books and I’m greeted with clichéd writing and confusing character dynamics…
