Great short story that gave you a clear glimpse into this couple’s life!
Identical twins Julie and Chloe's lives couldn't be more different. Julie, stuck in the grind as a supermarket cashier, contrasts sharply with her sister Chloe, a dazzling luxury lifestyle influencer. But everything changes when Julie stumbles upon Chloe's lifeless body, thrusting her into a whirlwind of chaos.
In a bold and audacious move, Julie decides to infiltrate Chloe's glamorous existence. However, this new life is far from the sparkling facade it presents. As Julie delves deeper, she uncovers shocking truths lurking behind Chloe's seemingly flawless online persona.
What I enjoyed most about this novel is its sharp satire and incisive social commentary on influencer culture, the pitfalls of social media, and the quest for validation in a digital age. Julie's outrageous scheme to assume her sister's identity had me hooked, as I eagerly followed her journey into the darker corners of fame.
However, the plot takes an unexpected and wildly unrealistic turn that left me feeling a bit deflated. While I appreciated the boldness of the twist, it felt over the top and detracted from my overall enjoyment of the story.
In conclusion, Julie Chan Is Dead offers a compelling exploration of identity and the impact of social media, even if it stumbles a bit in its execution. If you're intrigued by the complexities of influencer life, this book is worth a read, just be prepared for an over the top twist.
I received a gifted copy of this book.

This book is a delightful exploration of emotional healing wrapped in a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romance. Williams blends humor and heartfelt moments as Phe and Beau navigate their complicated relationship. The chemistry between them is palpable, making their journey not just about miles traveled but also about emotional distance. The California settings are beautifully described, adding a picturesque backdrop to their transformative experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Truth Is In Detours. Phe and Beau are relatable characters, each carrying their own baggage while trying to understand one another. Watching their relationship evolve was a treat. This debut is both reflective and entertaining, making it a perfect summer read. The conclusion left me feeling warm and satisfied, encapsulating the essence of second chances and personal growth.

From the moment I read the synopsis, I knew this book had all the ingredients for a fantastic read: rich people behaving badly? Check. Scandal? Check. A tangled web of secrets and lies? Check. And a second-chance romance? Double check! I was not disappointed.
Rowan, Natalie, and Harrison are authentic and relatable, creating a dynamic that keeps you invested in their journey. This estranged family is thrown into chaos as they try to uncover the truth behind the murder, and the unexpected twists kept me guessing until the very end. I found myself rooting for them to reconnect amid the turmoil.
The setting is another highlight of the story. The eerie, haunted Wincott mansion, with its hidden secrets and ghostly presence, adds a thrilling layer of suspense that enhances the overall experience. You can practically feel the atmosphere come alive as you turn the pages.
Don’t miss this twisty, binge-worthy thriller! If you enjoyed Sarina Bowen’s thriller debut, The Five Year Lie, then Dying to Meet You is an absolute must-read.

If you’re a music enthusiast or someone who loves stories that dive deep into ambition and integrity, When the Music Hits is definitely a debut to check out.
Music lover Billie is fierce, driven, and idealistic. Navigating the high-stakes music industry, her determination often blinds her to the ethical dilemmas surrounding her, as she confronts systemic issues like racism, sexism, and classism. Ambition clashes with values, forcing Billie into tough choices.
Outside of work, Billie is also dealing with the complex relationship with her mother. You can feel every ounce of her struggle in how to handle this problematic relationship. Fortunately, Billie is supported by her boyfriend, Lucas, and her best friend, Alicia.
While the ending wraps up a bit too neatly for my taste, When the Music Hits sparks conversations about the price of success and the sacrifices we make along the way as well as the dynamics of mother-daughter relationships.
When the Music Hits is a powerful debut that masterfully intertwines themes of race, power, and self-discovery, creating a rich tapestry that lingers long after the last page is turned.

Two strangers team up for a reality travel show (and some fake dating), only to find themselves connecting for real.
Let’s kick things off with the unforgettable meet-cute between Theo and Asher. Who knew a bet over mozzarella sticks could spark such chemistry? From that moment, I was all in for Team Thasher! These two are incredibly relatable, and their journey is an absolute delight.
The slow burn between Theo and Asher is everything! Watching them evolve from mere acquaintances to each other’s safe haven is so heartwarming. Their bond is so genuine, filled with tenderness and electrifying chemistry that pulls you right into their world.
And can we talk about the Epic Trek reality show? This Amazing Race fan loved how a similar show was included. What a fantastic backdrop for hilarious antics and swoon-worthy moments! The dynamic with their quirky found family adds so much depth and fun to the story, a shoutout to producer Jo, cameraman Arthur, and fellow competitors Jenn and Ellie.
This book had me laughing, smiling, and thoroughly enjoying every page. If you’re looking for a charming read that mixes humor, romance, personal growth, and adventure, grab Winging It with You and join the fun!
