For my BuzzFeed/YouTube millennials, this one’s for you! 😉
Thank you to Berkley Romance for the complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
Read if you 🩷:
• 🛸 Cryptid and UFO Sightings
• 💕 Behind the Scenes Romances
• 🛌 Only One Bed
• 🌲 Flannels and Nerdy T-Shirts
After her hotshot ex dumps her, Hallie’s career seems doomed—until she teams up with Hayden, a charismatic cryptid expert. As they explore mysterious creatures and ignite undeniable on-screen chemistry, they might just discover that love is the real phenomenon.
I’ll admit, the first chapters didn’t grab me. I thought the book would involve meeting a bunch of cryptids rather than a more realistic “Unsolved Mysteries” vibe. So I put it down and came back to it this weekend… and I’m SO glad I did! 🙌
💙 This just proves that I’m a mood reader because once I restarted, I couldn’t put it down! Being from New England, if you give me a main character who’s constantly wearing flannel and Red Sox gear, I am ALL IN. 😍 Yes, sometimes Hayden and Hallie’s opposing views on conspiracies can halt their chemistry, but it also makes for some hilarious moments! (I’m looking at you, Ghost Tour Guide. 👀)
PSA: There are some heavy moments related to emotional abuse from a past relationship and the death of a parent (off-page). While these scenes add appreciated depth to the storyline, please proceed with caution if this content might be triggering for you.
If you love nerdy cinnamon roll boyfriends, shipping your favorite celebrities, and pets with hilarious names, be sure to pick up “Love and Other Conspiracies” at your favorite bookstore! 📚
