ARC Review: Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee

If you’re reading this, you probably know that I love romances centered around food. I was immediately intrigued by the title of Fake Dates and Mooncakes. I wanted to like this book, but it fell flat for me. The publisher’s summary compares Fake Dates and Mooncakes to Heartstopper and Crazy Rich Asians, and I do … More ARC Review: Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee

Review: Not Here to Stay Friends by Kaitlyn Hill

I really liked Kaitlyn Hill’s first book, Love from Scratch, and I was excited to read her next book, Not Here to Stay Friends. Both books center around reality television – Love from Scratch centers around a television station similar to the Food Network, and Not Here to Stay Friends features a televsion show that … More Review: Not Here to Stay Friends by Kaitlyn Hill

ARC Review: Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon

It is no secret that I love Rachel Lynn Solomon’s work. I have been eagerly awaiting Business or Pleasure since it was announced, and it certainly did not disappoint.

She went to … More ARC Review: Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon

I realized as started reading that I’d blocked … More ARC Review: The Quarantine Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

ARC Review: Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

I loved the Brown Sisters trilogy that Talia Hibbert wrote. I loved the way she captured characters who were mentally ill and plus-size. That representation continued in Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute. Brad has OCD and does seem to manage it very well. There are a few moments where those around him notice his compulsive … More ARC Review: Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

ARC Review: A Spinster’s Guide to Danger and Dukes by Manda Collins

As a fan of Jane Austen and Bridgerton, I was intrigued by the premise of A Spinster’s Guide to Danger and Dukes (even through it’s set in Victorian England and not the Regency period). This series definitely has Bridgerton vibes. The characters are similarly concerned with propriety and appearances. Poppy is concerned that she will … More ARC Review: A Spinster’s Guide to Danger and Dukes by Manda Collins
