I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed the spice. This book made me laugh out loud and made me feel all the feels. It is well-written and very relatable in many senses. I love that Shay is a teacher and that she wears quirky earrings and she’s unafraid of being herself. I also fell in love with the foul-mouthed pirate child Gennie. She was astute and full of wisdom beyond her years, while also being a hilarious kid. Grumpy sunshine and friends to lovers is always a good combination for me for a romance so I liked that too!

Okay, I liked this one a lot more than I was anticipating! The synopsis didn't necessarily feel like something I'd love, but alas, I did love it! Shay and Noah were destined to be together and I just loved how the second-chance romance trope was executed in this. As a soon-to-be teacher, I loved Shay's teaching perspective and how she tutored Gennie. Speaking of Gennie, what an absolute HOOT! I loved that little girl so much! The steam was also *incredible*! This one was almost a five-star read for me, but it fell short because of Shay's indecisiveness on letting Noah love her... ma'am, he's been in love with you since high school, just let him IN!!! Overall I really loved all the characters and enjoyed the storyline so much! Highly recommend this one :) -- Available on KU!

book one of the sisterhood of the traveling book project <3

there is no business for a cutesy romance to be nearly 500 pages but i adored it nonetheless!! such a perfect small town, marriage of convenience and “single parent” vibe. i grew extremely attached to the characters—i loved rooting for shay & hanging with her bestie jamie, i’m a simp for noah and i’m a gennie stan through and through. while i thought there were parts that dragged on and where i got impatient, it still made my heart happy and i would recommend if you want a fluffy book that isn’t too cheesy.
