Teach Me (There's Something About Marysburg, #1) by Olivia Dade

by 4 Comments

Last Night: I kinda want to slap five stars on this but I’m book drunk so I will wait for the morning. Full review later. This Morning: Fuck it, I’m doing it. Five stars (rounded up from 4.5). But I do wish you to know that objectively it is more like a four star book, but it did so many things that I personally love that I just have to bump it up. So, you can pretend this is a Goodreads Four Review with an […]

I liked this, but I almost liked her friends more than her love interest.

The Boyfriend Project (The Boyfriend Project, #1) by Farrah Rochon

This was cute. I will definitely be reading the rest of the books in the series, and maybe checking out the author’s back catalogue. The set-up here is that Samiah Brooks, tech prodigy working in Austin, has been duped by a scumbag, and she befriends two other women also duped by self-same scumbag. Their confrontation with him (over sushi volcano rolls!) goes viral. This brings unwanted attention and a lack of privacy, but it also brings Samiah two new friends, an area of her life […]

Needed more groveling.

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

Mixed feelings about this one! Overall, I liked it. Parts of it I liked a lot. Other parts made me hopping mad. The premise of this book is extremely silly, but the authors manage to make it work, and ground it in something real, so that’s always fun to have happen. Olive Torres is an identical twin, and her sister Ami is getting married. Olive also hates her sister’s husband’s brother, Ethan, and they have disliked each other for years. Due to food allergies and […]

A sweet telenovela romance.

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

Thanks to Netgalley and Avon for an ARC of this book! This was fun! I liked but didn’t love her first book. This one worked much better for me. I loved the telenovela TV set background. I really liked both characters, and thought they had great chemistry with each other. The secondary characters could have used some rounding out, but the book was pretty short, so there might not have been time. I would actually have liked this to be longer so it could be […]

Enemy coworkers fall in love, on TV.

Headliners (London Celebrities, #5) by Lucy Parker

by 7 Comments

This wasn’t my favorite of Lucy Parker’s books, but I still liked it. I don’t think I could ever not like one of her books. Maybe it’s just my headspace right now, but I never connected with either Sabrina or Nick, and what was happening to them felt very far away from me emotionally. I also felt the book relied too much on the events of the previous book, and if I hadn’t read that one, it would have not had as much of an […]

This series is good, feminist fun, but this book was a little overstuffed.

Undercover Bromance (Bromance Book Club, #2) by Lyssa Kay Adams

by Leave a Comment

This series is fun, but I think this one may have bitten off a little too much. I wasn’t completely sold on the chemistry between the leads, even though the rest of the book was pretty good. Also, the Russian didn’t get a name until the end of the book, but at least he has a name now. It was feeling weird to make a whole person a joke. I’m not sure she can ever make him a POV character with all the jokes about […]
