Plot Twist by Erin La Rosa

1.0

I really want to like this book. I love Dash and Sophie as characters and I think they had a fun storyline. The romance author who has never been in love- and the ex actor trying to start over out of the spotlight- mix in best friends brother and land lord and it had some fun moments. That being said, there was something about the inner dialog of Sophie and how she was on the internet that I struggled with. She was either too overly clueless or everything was laid out for you a little too much in my face. Some better dialogue and narration and I could have been more sold- but the writing style wasn’t for me.

Of all the books this felt like a lack luster ending. I did listen instead of read but I thought it was fine

Gwen and Art Are Not in Love by Lex Croucher

5.0

This YA romcom was pitched as Heartstopper meets a knights tale- and it’s the most fitting description. Our Main characters are: Gwen, the princess to the English throne and younger sister to the heir Gabriel. Her betrothed is Art, selected at birth bc of his famous ancestor King Arthur. Gwen thinks there’s only one problem, they hate each other. After discovering Art kissing a stable boy it turns out there might be two problems. Art likes men, and Gwen is wrestling with her feelings for the talented Knight Lady Leclair. They realize they might be better allies than enemies to help each-other get what they want.

I loved this twist on fake dating! Art and Gwen are such perfect opposites, the banter in every single scene is absolutely amazing. Not to mention the amount of heart and humor this book contains. The characters were all so well written and you could sense all of their individual battles and character arcs. Not to mention it was just so fun! It being set in medieval England was the icing on the cake. Definitely worth a read.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

5.0

I only wish this book was longer. It all resolved so quickly, and I could have read another 100 pages about Mika, Jamie and the girls.
