We can’t dedicate our lives to pleasing others. Love isn’t transactional like that.” Evie Lang’s life is in shambles. On the heels… Continue reading Adam & Evie’s Matchmaking Tour by Nora Nguyen
I finally got around to reading Dating Dr. Dil, and I’m so glad I did! I totally missed the bandwagon when it first came out a few years back, and I was definitely feeling the FOMO. The story follows Kareena Mann, who dreams of a love story like her parents but prefers restoring her classic… Continue reading Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha Sharma

This also has the billionaire trope, which I can go either way, but this one was steamy and witty. Dante Russo is your typical billionaire and he doesn't want to get tied down.… Continue reading The King of Wrath by Ana Huang

It deals with racism, plagiarism, the stresses of being a writer, jealousy, friendship, and the publishing industry.… Continue reading Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
I don't know if I would classify this as a Rom-Com or a Cozy Mystery, but it was delightful. This is a humorous, laugh out loud story that I really enjoyed. This is a story about family who is always there for you, even when you don't think you need them. Maddeline (Meddy) Chan's mother… Continue reading Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto
