Starting off with a …meh…

January 5, 2018 by FyreHaar Leave a Comment

My earliest review, evar!!  I usually only review things that evoke a strong response and I’ve never even made a quarter Cannonball. This year I’m going to try to write about every book I finish. This book was basic. It was free on Kindle (still is as of this writing, if you just haaaave to read a romance set on Coronado) (N.B. how the fuck y’all gonna afford any real estate out there?) Hannah Davis was jilted and wants to find out what tore her […]

More New York-based contemporary romance

January 4, 2018 by Malin 1 Comment

Francesca “Frankie” Cole’s parents went through a fairly harrowing split when she was fourteen. Her father cheated with a much younger woman, left her mother as a broken-down wreck and walked out without ever looking back. Frankie was the one who had to try to pick up the pieces with the devastated parent she had left. After a period of mourning, her mother seemed to decide that enough was enough, cut her hair, lost a lot of weight and started borrowing her daughter’s clothes, determined […]

NOT one of the Top 10 romances of the year. Not even Christina Lauren’s best romance this year.

December 31, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Holland Bakker is trying to be a writer, but two years after graduating from college, still doesn’t really feel like she has anything to write about. The apartment she lives in is in part paid for by her wealthy uncles, and even her job, as a stagehand/photographer at the Broadway theatre where her uncle is the musical director is thanks to him. She’s feeling adrift and like a bit of a scrounger, and desperately wishes she could find some purpose. For more than six months, […]

Who knew running away to nerd-camp could be so complicated?

December 30, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

From Goodreads: Elliot Gabaroche is very clear on what she isn’t going to do this summer.  1. She isn’t going to stay home in Sacramento, where she’d have to sit through her stepmother’s sixth community theater production of The Importance of Being Earnest. 2. She isn’t going to mock trial camp at UCLA. 3. And she certainly isn’t going to to the Air Force summer program at her mom’s base in Colorado Springs. As cool as it would be to live-action-role-play Ender’s Game, Ellie’s seen three generations of […]
