Review: Between You and Me by Susan Wiggs is yet another book that I wish I had read along with someone else because I so wish I could have discussed these characters’ lives and choices as they were living and making them. By the time I got to the later parts of the story and […]
Review: When I saw the cover for My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan, I added it to my to-read list instantly. I was thrilled when I got an early copy and excitedly put it on my nightstand. And then I realized that it was recommended for fans of Jojo Moyes and Nicholas Sparks, and I […]

Review: My Dear Hamilton by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie is fantastic! I’m so glad I have this one on my shelf. When I read their previous book written in a similar style, I had no idea what I was stepping into, but I was blown away by how wonderful it was. With this book, […]

When this story begins, Clare is about to get married, but she is having some major second thoughts. At the very last minute, a chance conversation […]
