I loved every single minute of this book! So much angst, so many laughs. It’s written in dual pov so you truly fall in love with the MCs. Christina & Lauren have written so many books and you’d think there is no human way for them to continue writing amazing books. Like how do they continue giving us romance novels that still surprise us and knock our socks off. They did it again! This may even be a new favorite of mine. I love the story, the characters, the spice 🥵, oh the spice. I don’t even like reality tv, but i would watch the shit out of this if they  made a show like the one they create in the show. —- also, can we get “hello sunshine” to adapt this book into a glorious movie please???? Love love love it! Go read it now!

I love poetry slams. And that is exactly what we get from this audiobook. It’s beautifully written and beautifully performed. You have a series of poems that voice being queer,  a black woman, childhood, religion, And more. I highly recommend this audiobook. Thank you NetGalley for the chance to experience and review this audiobook.

Viola Davis is an absolutely incredible and inspiring human. This book was beautiful written. Such a deep and honest retelling of her life. The hardships and the triumphs. I admired her so much already before. This eye opening book just deepened my respect for her.

Not your exes hexes is book Two of the “supernatural singles” series. I didn’t read the first one because I didn’t realize this was the second one , but I was ok! I wasn’t lost at all.. I definitely plan on reading the first one even though i now know how the first one ended lol :.

This series has Family relationships, animals, witches, angels, Magic and romance. Damian, A grumpy half Demon Veterinarian, meets his sunshine sassy match in Rose. The tensions and banter kept me going the whole time. 

This was a very fun rom-com and I recommend it to all!! Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review this book. I have now found another author to auto purchase books from!

This book was absolutely wonderful.  Every aspect of this story is perfect. The growth and the caution. Atlas is a gem. Always was and always will be. This is the sequel to it ends with us, which was powerful and emotional. This book is the triumph beyond the words, it ends with us.

I love Coho. It was nice to see things from Will’s perspective. I still would have preferred for this book to be more of a continuation of their story, not just a Retelling . Still brilliantly written Ofcourse. All the feels over again. Seeing some scenes with Lakes mom that we never saw before was also wonderful. Coho is a gift to the book community.

“I’m only nice to you”. 
for those of us who love the grumpy/sunshine trope. Here we have a perfect example. We have a little bit of many different tropes. Dating app, fake dating, friends to lovers, best friends brother. I live for all of these.

This was a lighthearted story that had many funny moments & very likable characters. Definitely a book to pull you out of a reading slump. It’s told In dual POV. 

Daisy is relatable and quirky, awkward and had such a bubbly existence. Luke is everything. He’s very serious; and seeing someone break down barriers is always heart fluttering . 

I highly recommend this feel good book. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to experience this book.

This was a very honest memoir. Ofcourse I’m a fan of Matty’s in general. I admire him for putting so much of his truth out there. He brought a lot of enlightenment with this book. I never knew truly how much inner pain he had and all of his struggles. It’s honest for him to say how much he has while feeling that he has nothing all the same. My heart is with him and I truly, truly hope that he finds love and continued peace. I’m
Rooting for you Matty!

I enjoyed this book. I love how the author made the timelines for story telling purposes. It jumps back and forth and you just get a little more back story and current story with each jump. There are likable characters, so really you root for everyone. But pick one… cause Audrey also has to pick… we’re you happy with her choice? I was🥰
