Equal parts intoxicating, quick-witted, and emotionally resonant, Act Your Age, Eve Brown is one of the best romances I’ve ever read.

Review // Twice Shy
Sarah Hogle’s newest release, Twice Shy, is a sweet, earnest, slow-burn romance, with enough humor to keep it from feeling too saccharine.
Review // You Had Me at Hola
I can think of very few things that feel as satisfying and wonderful as when you’ve been waiting patiently (or, in my case, impatiently) for a book and you finally read it and it’s everything you hoped it would be. With You Had Me at Hola, it was everything I hoped it would be and then some.
Wrap-Up // What I Read in July
I haven’t actually gotten around to posting my wrap-ups for May and June but that’s mainly because I was in a pretty big reading slump for a couple of months. I barely read anything in both May and June (only 7 books total in 2 months). Thankfully, I was able to snap out of it in July and I ended up reading 21 books! And I found so many new favorites!
Review // They Wish They Were Us
Jessica Goodman’s debut, They Wish They Were Us, is definitely one of the most interesting young adult thrillers I’ve read and tackles privilege and entitlement in a way I haven’t yet seen done before.
![Happy #PubDay to HEARTBREAKERS & FAKERS by @camloond! 💕✨ Thank you so much to @penguinteen for the gifted copy.
I was OBSESSED with @camloond’s first book, THE BEST LAID PLANS. Ugh, it was rom-com perfection. I’ve been waiting for her follow up since finishing THE BEST LAID PLANS last year and so I’m over the moon that it’s out there in the world and finally here! I cannot wait to dive in.
