A cute short story that also links this series to Knot My Type. It didn’t add to much to the overall series and wasn’t completely necessary, but this couple is one of my favorites from the series, so I enjoyed it well enough.

While I was a bit lost on the overall premise of this book at first as compared to Montell’s other two, things did clear up fairly quickly and I appreciated how she discussed various biases and fallacies that humans fall prey to, as well as her own personal experiences with them.

A well-written, well-researched piece about four women breaking out from stereotypically feminine roles during the Civil War. I’m amazed at how much Abbott was able to compile.

A cute, funny, lighthearted take on a vampire romance. I liked the idea of the vampire having to adjust to modern culture. There were some bits of the writing that were a bit awkward or stilted, but overall it was an enjoyable read.

Very similar to the other books in the series, I liked it well enough but there wasn’t as much that made this one special. Again, I think it might have been better as a full length novel.

5.0
Another solid romance from Emily Henry. Is it similar to her other novels and other ones in the genre? Yes. Is it still enjoyable with some great characters? Also yes. I will say that the title seemed quite appropriate given how many times I did laugh out loud with this one from the witty banter between characters or even Daphne’s internal monologue.
