This is my fourth re-read of The Hating Game, and my original review for the book can be found here. Also this book will contain mild spoilers for the story, so if you haven’t read it, drop everything and come back once you have (it’s awesome, I promise), you may want to avoid this until then. It’s difficult for me to pinpoint exactly what I find so comforting about this book, but it really does work for me on every level. This was my favourite book of […]
Everything Beth Ellen Said is Accurate, But I Still Enjoyed It
I’m having a hard time focusing on reading. It’s not that things are bad. Things are stressful in a way that uses up a lot of my mental and emotional energy. I’m working on a couple of books I received as gifts over the holidays (one from my uncle and fellow Cannonballer, degregorious), but the focus isn’t there. Beth Ellen’s review of From Lukov With Love plus the Olympic figure skating on my tv and all over my social media feeds gave me an urge to […]
Mediocre New Adult all hopped up on a Very Special message.
I’ll get this out of the way — I didn’t like this book very much. Explaining why will lead me on several tangents, so before you continue, understand that this is part review and part aimless wandering about random talking points. If you want a straightforward take on this book you’ll have to go elsewhere. I’ll be spoiling major plot points, so be forewarned of that as well. CW: ABUSE I became aware of It Ends with Us when it won the Goodreads Choice 2016 […]

No more moping around or evenings spent on Netflix – this December she resolves to get out there and enjoy it all.

Outdoorsy Love in NYC
Set a few months after Sleepless in Manhattan, Urban Genie is thriving as a growing business with all three of the co-owners being very busy. Unfortunately, it is also wedding season, and while Frankie is a genius with flowers, she is cynic when it comes to love, and more than happy to jump at an opportunity to help long time friend Matt build and design a roof top garden when he finds himself short handed. Matt, Paige’s older brother, has known Frankie for years, and […]
I don’t think I’m supposed to be siding with the guy in this one …
Since I started reading romance, I have mostly stuck to historical romance novels with a few exceptions, including The Hating Game and Lucy Parker’s London Celebrities novels which I quite enjoyed. Despite that, I am still hesitant about contemporary romances but decided to try this one out based on Malin’s recent reviews. I think one reason I am more drawn towards historical romance is that it is easier to suspend disbelief when talking about dukes and earls looking for love (or actors in London) than […]
