Summer in the City by Alex Aster

May 10, 2025May 7, 2025 michele

If you're looking for a cute summer romance, look no further. Summer in the City delivers all the charm and swoon of a great rom-com, with the added bonus of a New York City backdrop that practically breathes on the page. This one was a delightful mix of forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers tropes—two of my… Continue reading Summer in the City by Alex Aster

Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

May 6, 2025April 24, 2025 michele

I devour every Abby Jimenez book she releases, so I was super excited about this one—and of course, she delivered. Jimenez can write a romance like nobody’s business. She always knows exactly how to make me care about her characters so deeply that I have to stop adulting just to finish the book. And this… Continue reading Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

Adam & Evie’s Matchmaking Tour by Nora Nguyen

May 1, 2025April 14, 2025 melanie

“I’m just saying that you’re allowed to exist separately from your family. If you want. Many of us feel indebted to our parents, but the truth is, parenthood is a choice they made. 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

Anyone who has ever felt stuck in their twenties, unsure of their purpose or still healing from loss, Passion Project will feel like a comforting, witty hug wrapped in a hopeful love story.

Too Hot to Handle by Portia Macintosh

April 18, 2025April 14, 2025 michele

This is the perfect read to bring along to the beach or pool—light, funny, and easy to breeze through. The premise is great, and while the story slows down a bit in the middle, the last 30% really pulled me in. Overall, it leaned more toward a slow burn for me, with no open-door scenes.… Continue reading Too Hot to Handle by Portia Macintosh

You Between the Lines by Katie Naymon

April 17, 2025April 9, 2025 melanie

No one’s more surprised than Leigh when a prestigious MFA program in North Carolina accepts her. A former sorority girl, Leigh’s the first to admit she knows more about the lyrics of Taylor Swift than T.S. Eliot, and she’s never been able to shake the “all-style-no-substance” feedback her high school crush made in their poetry… Continue reading You Between the Lines by Katie Naymon
