Good Material was my book club pick last month, and interestingly, I ended up enjoying it more than a lot of the other members did.

At its core, this is a breakup… Continue reading Good Material by Dolly Alderton

Bittersweet doesn’t even begin to describe finishing the final book in the Mountain Men series, but I’m so glad Everly finally got her story. She’s been such a fun character throughout the series, and watching her fall for the ultimate grumpy bad boy felt completely worth the wait. I honestly found myself googling rugby while… Continue reading Bad Boy Era by Amy Daws

Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams

December 30, 2025December 30, 2025 michele

Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams absolutely delivered on everything I hoped for after loving No Exit—and then some. From the moment Tess and Allie descend underground, this story tightens its grip and never lets go. Adams captures the terror of caving so vividly that I physically felt claustrophobic while reading. I went into this… Continue reading Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams
