My thoughts on the Broadway production of The Last Five Years can be summed up by Jamie’s words from the show, “It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine. It’s what I wanted.” Yes, I did want this show that has been beloved to me for nearly two decades to come to Broadway, but maybe not quite … More Review: The Last Five Years on Broadway
From the first page, The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club is funny and charming. As a millennial I will say that I immediately was reminded of John Tucker Must Die, and seeing that connection in the publisher’s summary makes so much sense. First of all, I love the group of Kat, Olivia, and Elle. Each one of … More ARC Review: The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club by Gloria Chao

There is so much capacity for drama and romance there. I enjoyed reading Everything’s Coming Up Rosie, but it’s not … More ARC Review: Everything’s Coming Up Rosie by Courtney Walsh

She also has a unique way of bringing readers into her main characters’ heads that not makes them so rich and real. … More ARC Review: When in Amsterdam by Rachel Lynn Solomon

The first Timothy Janovsky novel I read was, You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince, and I loved it. Janovsky brings whimsy and humor to all of his books, and a dose of holiday magic just makes the romance all the more special. The Merriest Misters is a second chance holiday romance that had me smiling … More Review: The Merriest Misters by Timothy Janovsky

I’ve been a big fan of Casey McQuiston’s work since I first read Red, White, and Royal Blue. I love how different each of the stories of their books are, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each one. The Pairing has McQuiston’s signature wit and charm, but with a European backdrop. Throughout The Pairing, Theo and Kit … More ARC Review: The Pairing by Casey McQuiston
