A fun runaway bride romance

Three Reasons to Run by Jackie Lau

August 4, 2024 by LB Leave a Comment

I love how much food is central to Jackie Lau books and how I’m basically guaranteed to find something fun and lighthearted in her stories. The whole premise of Three Reasons to Run sounded like it would be a delight, and I’m so glad I got to read it! Yvonne has been in a relationship with Carl for five years, engaged for two, and in that time she’s slowly been realizing that it wasn’t a relationship that fulfilled her or she could see a positive […]

Yvonne Names Three Reasons, But There’s More

Three Reasons To Run (Weddings with the Moks #2) by Jackie Lau

Oh yes, this is what I’m looking for in a Jackie Lau book. When I received my ARC copy of Three Reasons to Run, I immediately picked up a copy of the first in the series, Four Weddings to Fall in Love to introduce me to the world that Lau would be working in within her larger Toronto-verse. While it was an enjoyable read, it wasn’t the strongest Lau. But I shouldn’t have worried, Three Reasons to Run is a crisp, warm, emotionally resonant book […]

Four Weddings to Fall in Love is the story of Max Mok and Kim Sung. Their meet-cute happens at mutual friends’ wedding and is quickly followed by a lackluster one-night stand. They both think the worst is behind them, and they can just move on and never see each other again. Except, there are three more weddings that summer that they are both attending (which happen to be Max’s first cousins and family friends of Kim’s). At the second wedding Max attempts to ameliorate his […]

Romancing the To-Do List

The Stand-In by Lily Chu

July 27, 2021 by Emmalita 5 Comments

Lily Chu’s The Stand-In was a very nice way to spend 10 hours and it reignited my off and on search for the perfect to-do list organizer. When The Stand-In opens, Gracie Reed has taken a sick day from work to go see a lawyer about whether she has a case against her gross, handsy boss. After an unproductive meeting, she goes to her local coffee shop, hoping for some decadent chocolate treats to lift her spirits. She strikes out there too. What she does […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
