Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen

Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — I told Brett that this one was an amalgamation of some of my favourite tropes: secret identity, secret baby, celebrity…even a bit of second chance.  And it fulfilled everything I love about those tropes and more.  Basically, Lenore was a happy reader…well, listener. Jonas was NOTHING like I was expecting for a […]

The Beat Match by Kelly Siskind

The Beat Match by Kelly Siskind

4 stars — This book had a lot of super cute moments mixed with plenty of heart and emotion.  I had mixed feelings about our hero, but all in all it was a super satisfying romance. I loved a LOT of things about Weston — from his genuinely good heart, his ability to listen and […]

Under the Spotlight by Angie Stanton

Under the Spotlight by Angie Stanton

2.5 stars — Well…I guess this is one series I should NOT have finished.  I should have listened to my gut that had me avoiding reading Garrett’s book, b/c this one definitely disappointed.  Or maybe it’s that it lived down to my low expectations.  Basically, if you’re hoping that Garrett has a huge transformation, or […]

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation.  And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

4.5 stars — In so many ways this was a typical romance — I could see the conflict coming from a mile away.  But in other ways it was something altogether new and different — the challenges that each of our characters faced, their quirks, were wholly unique.  And in the end, both aspects played […]

Where You’ll Find Me by Erin Fletcher

Where You’ll Find Me by Erin Fletcher

3.5 stars — This was an up and down read for me.  I was hella intrigued by the blurb, and I just needed a short satisfying YA read, you know?  There were aspects I definitely loved, but I also felt like the story was a bit drawn out and boring at times…it was just missing […]

Dirty Tactics by Emma Salah

Dirty Tactics by Emma Salah

3.5 stars — This book was up and down for me.  There were elements that worked very very well, and there were elements that just didn’t for me.  Basically, it was the ultimate mixed bag. The prologue sucked me in immediately and I felt a lot for both Reagan and Zac.  The problem is that […]
