It was nostalgic, with depth. I appreciate the themes of video games and theatre, and the friendship love story.
I actually related to a lot of things in this book.I married a game developer. I loved doing theatre in high school and college. I’m 9-10 years younger than the main characters, so their childhood and college years were a different timeframe, technologically, but most were timeframes that I remembered nostalgically.
I don’t know what the overlap is between those who have read this book and those who have participated in game development, but most of the reviews I’m seeing are from people who say they don’t know too much about games. That’s fine, but I’m just curious. Like, how many other people have read this book that have also, for example, opened Unreal Engine? Is it just me?

Halloween vibes! Great Halloween themed witchy contemporary romance. Fast and funny with a tiny bit of mystery/suspense and a few steamy scenes. Cozy paranormal romance?

Book Lovers was an ideal summer read.
My favorite part of Book Lovers was the many excellent book references and book loving quotes. Books are the best, aren’t they?
The funny writing in Book Lovers hooked me from the beginning, and I loved the characters and sister relationship. This book gave love to both small towns and big cities, and had a satisfying frenemies-to-lovers type romance.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Did this book see an editor at all? Pretty much nothing happens until the last quarter of the book. It could've been half as long, and that's being generous.
Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery

My favorite of the Anne books. I love the college years, the many proposals, and of course the thrilling last few pages!
