Diplomatic Liability by Rebecca Cohen
funny
5.0
This is such a good continuation of the series, I had such a good time reading it. I sent multiple quotes to friends to share the joy (and to rec the book :P )
Seeing Devlin's journey continue in space, and seeing Zal with 'his' people, was very interesting. I loved how differences in culture was a main theme in this book, and how the characters dealt with it!
I'm tempted to gush here about the fun difference in anatomies the aliens have in the book, but I'll leave that for everyone to discover for themselves :P
I really recommend this series, both parts. Love the characters, the settings, and the plots are nice too! :D

The first thing about this book that stands out to me, is the writing style. It's funny, and with a use of vocabulary that stands out, in a very good way. (As a non-native speaker I went to my e-reader's dictionary a few times, but even that didn't know all words :D ((there is an in-book reason for these words, don't worry, its not the author being a word-grubber as Presti would say :D))
When a was partway into this book, I would have maybe called it a comedy, but then the later parts take a serious turn, that while they fit well within the narrative would be misrepresented if I gave the while book a comedy stamp. One part even made me tear up!
Overall, i really do recommend this, I had a very good time reading it, and I see a reread in my future!
I received a free copy in an exchange for an honest review

A New Leash on Love by Aurora Rey, Jaime Clevenger
4.5
A New Leash on Love was a fun end of year read, perfect for this time of year. My main reason for requesting this book was that I love a romance with pets, I even have a specific tag for it on The Storygraph so I can always give recommendations if people ask :D Olive the dog was a very worthy edition to the tag, little matchmaker that she was.
Kit and Shawn were two very distinct main character with clear voices of their own, and they're not afraid of open communication (mostly :P) and I absolutely loved that!
I loved the rep in this, and how it influenced their small town living. it felt realistic without being over the top negative.
Thank you Netgalley and Bella Books for providing me with an ARC!
