I loved this book, so so much. First of all, the settings were incredible and so descriptive that you could truly visualize everything from the rocky coasts of the Greek islands to the McMansions in Malibu and Calabasas. I do have a soft spot for both the Greek Islands and LA so obviously this made reading fun off the bat!

Ok, if you know me - you know I love me some Finlay Donovan shenanigans! This series is such a comfort series to me - and I genuinely hope Elle Cosimano keeps it going for a very long time…

I was a HUGE fan of “The Bodyguard” so I was so so so excited to be gifted a copy of Katherine Center’s next novel “Hello Stranger”.  This story was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, after the world becomes a bit blurry for our MC Sadie…

This story sounded right up my alley so I was so excited to receive a copy! A girl working at a strange Russian tchotchke shop, who then accidentally falls into solving a murder mystery with a strange cast of characters, settings, and with some spookiness weaved in — sounds like my kind of story…

I really do love a good YA mystery, so I was so excited to receive a copy of Chelsea Sedoti’s "Tell Me What Really Happened." The best part of the whole story was the writing style - the use of first-person police interviews adds an incredible layer to the book, making the story feel so immersive and also making it go by so fast!..

Curtis Sittenfeld delivers yet another story that perfectly explores love and self-discovery (for all you other “Prep” fans out there - this is for you!)…

This. book. 🤯 Did I stay up until 2am to finish this? Yes, I did!!!! For some background, we follow Maren at the elite Torrey-Wells Academy as she decides to get to the bottom of why her best friend went missing.

This ended up being a spontaneous end of the year read for me and I am SO glad I did - literally this is one of the best books I’ve read this year!! 

I am a HUGE fan of Maureen Johnson and her “Truly Devious” series. I DEVOURED those books last year and I think about Ellingham Academy and my fav group of friends alllll the time…

Ms. Cherie Priest has done it again! One of my favorite cozy mysteries got a sequel and I could not have been more excited to receive a copy.

“Beautiful World, Where Are You” is a coming of age story that focuses on mainly making the wrong decisions, feeling lost or stuck in life, female friendship, and the many complexities of emotions and the not-always -so-beautiful world we live in.

For this book I decided to go with a Virgin Mai Tai because it seemed to be Gen’s drink of choice at all the bars! It was so fun to make, and honestly sooo delicious - highly recommend if you’re in the mood for a tropical treat!

As previously stated (many times)… I will read literally anything that Ali Hazelwood writes. Consider me a fan for life, because I don’t mind reading variations of TLH over and over. I was BEYOND excited to receive the ARC of this incredibly adorable book…

As an HGTV binge watcher, and as someone who’s mom is a home designer/real estate agent - I was SO excited for this book. Renovating an old Victorian mansion in a small town? Sign me up! 

Murder in a library and authors are solving the case? Say no more. This book was a wild ride! It took me a little to get into it, but once I did I binged it in one sitting.

Okay so I loooooved this story. Many of us know and love the author by her pen name - Olivie Blake - but this story was very different from everything else she has written. After reading this book I am fully convinced that she can write any book in any genre and just absolutely kill it.

I’m totally a Casey McQuiston fan girl so you can only imagine how excited I was to receive an e-ARC for “I Kissed Shara Wheeler”! This book was one of my most highly anticipated releases for this year, and it did not disappoint!

I recently read “Dial A for Aunties” - I had owned it forever and it was one of those books I had wanted to read so badly but never made it there. Finally last month I read it … and in one sitting!
