If you’re on TikTok, Instagram, or basically any type of bookish social media, then you’ve probably heard of The Love Hypothesis. Ali Hazelwood’s debut romance was one of the most universally loved books I saw folks reading last year and honestly, the hype is absolutely deserved.
Happy New Year, friends! Keep reading for my list of my top 10 romances I read in 2021!
Like with her debut, The Best Laid Plans, which was one of my favorite books last year, I couldn’t put Heartbreakers and Fakers down. With such a fresh, delightful, and earnest voice, Cameron Lund is one of my favorite (maybe even my favorite?) YA authors.
You know what’s better than the only-one-bed trope? The only-one-sleeping-bag trope. It’s a new favorite of mine now, thanks to On Location, the newest release from Sarah Echavarre Smith.
Friendly PSA that if you haven’t already picked up The Royals Next Door, you need to do so immediately. One of the most engaging and dreamy books I’ve read all year, I couldn’t put this one down.
The Charm Offensive is honestly one of the most charming (fitting, right?), endearing, and lovely books that I’ve had the pleasure of reading…maybe, ever? If you enjoyed books like One to Watch, Red, White & Royal Blue, or Boyfriend Material, then this is a must-read for you.
As summer (and Romance Awareness Month) comes to an end, I wanted to share some of my favorite romances that I read between the months of May and August!
Battle Royal, the first installment in Lucy Parker’s new Palace Insiders series, was a complete surprise, and a pleasant one at that. The story took me a while to get into; it started out slowly,…
Bath Haus is a tension-filled thriller that will keep you on the edge of the seat until the very end.
Equal parts intoxicating, quick-witted, and emotionally resonant, Act Your Age, Eve Brown is one of the best romances I’ve ever read.
![Happy pub day to SOMETHING FABULOUS by @quicunquevult! I just started this delightful historical rom-com and am already SO into it! The story follows a reserved, buttoned-up duke that is betrothed to a woman, and enamored with her twin brother so…I’m anticipating some PINING and I’m here for it! Thank you so much to @amazonpublishing for the review copy of one of my most anticipated 2022 romances!
What other 2022 releases are y’all excited for??
