CBR15 Bingo: Bodies Bodies

Three Little Words by Jenny Holiday

July 4, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars CBR15 Bingo: Bodies Bodies (self-esteem issues, eating disorder) 15-word review: International supermodel Gia has an eating disorder, but eats when restaurant owner Bennet feeds her. Longer review: Gia Gallo is used to travelling in her job as a globe-trotting fashion model. Recently, she struggles with the fact that she doesn’t fit into the teeny tiny sizes of the clothes she’s supposed to model, and she’s not really sure if she’s not outgrown the whole industry, both in body size and motivation-wise. Having never […]

A romance I read back in March

It Takes Two by Jenny Holiday

July 3, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

15-word review: Bridesmaid Wendy keeps hooking up with former crush Noah, who’s the brother of the bride. Wendy’s best friend Jane (from One and Only) is getting married, and she’s delighted to be asked to be the maid of honour. Unfortunately, the best man is the bride’s older brother, Noah, who Wendy nursed a crush on for pretty much her entire adolescence until he broke her heart by standing her up at the prom. She has spent most of her adult life going on strategic […]

“Listen, there are different ways of getting closure and one of those ways might be to make someone miserable for the sake of satisfying your petty soul.”

The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

April 13, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

When wedding planner Carolina “Lina” Santos was mere moments from her own wedding, the best man, the groom’s younger brother came to tell her that his brother had cold feet and would not be showing up to the ceremony. Since that moment, Lina has kept a very tight check on her emotions and is now proud of her reputation as trusted, efficient, and very unflappable  She obviously doesn’t want anyone to know about her own wedding disaster a few years back.  So it’s not all […]

March 4, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you see the title of the novel, The Meet-Cute Project by Rhiannon Richardson, that says it all. This novel is a young adult Meet-Cute romance without any surprises story.

Bad Luck Bridesmaid

“I liked maps that didn’t lead to destinations. I was all about the journey, refusing to give intense thought as to where it would trap me.”

Bad Luck Bridesmaid by Alison Rose Greenberg

January 9, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

First off, I’ve seen several places billing this as a second-chance romance. It’s most decidedly not; while Zoey’s romantic arc is a major feature of the book, it’s secondary to her own growth as a person. Zoey is a self-proclaimed free spirit, perfectly content to be by herself. Her version of happiness is not having plans, not being tied down to anything, and the worst thing she can imagine is being permanently stuck with someone forever. But while she loves rom-coms, she’s never been in […]

There Wil Be Blood. There Will Also Be Wedding Cake.

When Sorrows Came by Seanan McGuire

October 22, 2021 by LittlePlat Leave a Comment

It’s an annual thing now, isn’t it? Me announcing a new disclaimer for reviews in the October Daye series: There will be some spoilers. It can’t be helped. You’ve all been warned multiple tiles now, so you all probably know the risk So it comes to the event that we have all been waiting for: in When Sorrows Came, our protagonist is getting married! Finally! I thought with all the drama seen in the last few books of the series, Toby and Tybalt were never […]
