Even If I Fall by Abigail Johnson

Even If I Fall by Abigail Johnson

3.5 stars — This one ended up being a little weird for me, b/c the thing I usually love most about a book is characters…read any of my reviews, it’s always about the characters.  Normally if I can’t connect with them, the book is just not going to hold my attention.  But this was my […]

The Stars Around Us Burn by Allie Martin

The Stars Around Us Burn by Allie Martin

3.5 stars — This was a very hard book to read at times…one that brought out a lot of emotions for me.  LOTS of feels for sure (some “trying to be quiet because my husband’s sleeping” bawling too), but also frustration.  Teenagers are SO FRUSTRATING!!  Which basically means that Nicole was very authentic to me.  […]

What Happens at Christmas by Jay Northcote

What Happens at Christmas by Jay Northcote

4.5 stars — This is probably going to be a short review, b/c I can’t seem to find my words today!  Sometimes the brain just doesn’t want to cooperate you know??  Plus, this book was short and fun, sometimes there’s just not much to dissect! Both Sean and Justin were very likable characters.  I love […]

Rabi and Matthew by L.A. Witt

Rabi and Matthew by L.A. Witt

3.5 stars — This was a diverse read that felt like it was there for more than just face value.  We weren’t just told that Rabi was Muslim and Pakistani, we got to see a bit of his life and some of his traditions (such as prayer on Fridays).  I really appreciated that.  Sometimes I […]

Going Down by Sandra Marie

4.5 stars — OK, I wasn’t sure I was going to fall in love super hard with this one based on the preview in the previous book, but I DID!!  It was super cute, I LOVED our MCs, it was just fun and smile inducing! So why wasn’t I sure about it?  Well, Lily May […]

Christmas Sugar by Melanie Moreland

Christmas Sugar by Melanie Moreland

3.5 stars — OK, this is going to sound really weird, but I had a strong sense of deja vu reading this book…like I could have sworn I’ve read it before.  But since it just released, I honestly don’t get it.  I wondered if perhaps it was previously included in an anthology and that’s why, […]

White Hot Christmas by Lauren Layne

White Hot Christmas by Lauren Layne

4.5 stars — I’m not a huge enemies to lovers trope lover, and this one wasn’t quite that…but the animosity between Matt and Avery truly made me feel sad and uncomfortable initially.  But I loved the way the story played out, and how Matt and Avery navigated this Christmas stuck in their office.  It was […]
