Book Review: Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry

Having loved most of Emily Henry's previous books, I was incredibly excited when she announced Great Big Beautiful Life . She always delivers the coziest small-town romances, and this newest release's plot sounded like it would be right up my alley. Two writers competing to get to write a sought-after biography, in a charming small-town setting, and then they fall in love? Sign me up! After about a week of carrying this book everywhere, and I mean everywhere , I finally finished it. Here are my thoughts. Get the Book Here Synopsis Alice Scott is waiting for her big writing break, and is hoping that on Little Crescent Island she finds it in writing a biography about a woman there, Margaret Ives. However, she's not the only one wanting the story of the heiress/tabloid princess, as Hayden Anderson who has won Pulitzer's for his writing is also on a mission to write her story. Margaret decides she will give them both a one month trial period, then will choose who gets to wr...

Book Review: Leave Me Behind by K.M. Moronova

Although I tend to post romance books on the fluffier and sweeter side of the genre, I also am a big fan of dark romances. Sure, rom-coms are fun, but after a while they often reach a point where they all start to blend together. So what better way to break up the monotony than with a dark romance?

However, this book has since gained a lot of traction, with readers everywhere sharing their thoughts. Here are my own on Leave Me Behind . Get the Book Here Synopsis Leave...

My Summer Reading List For 2025

 With the summer season now upon us, I cherish the longer days where I can dive into a good book. One of my favorite things to do is read outside, and what better way to celebrate the nice weather, than with a summer romance book. But what does it mean for a book to be a "summer romance"? Well, first and foremost, the most important is the overall vibes. I want a romance with a summer camp, trips to the beach, fake-dating at a summer wedding, lake-house visits, or even a cowboy romance. Usually these romances are more lighthearted then other romance books out there, and make for a fun, quick read. These are some of the romances I plan on reading this summer. Same Time Next Summer Get The Book Here Sam is doing great. She's engaged to Jack, who happens to be a doctor, and she has a really great job herself. But when they go to look at a wedding venue by her family's Long Island beach house, she is shocked to find that her first love Wyatt is also in town. As her memori...
