July 25, 2025July 15, 2025 melanie

Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years, or at least to meet with the octogenarian who… Continue reading Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry

Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood

July 18, 2025July 9, 2025 melanie

“Maybe he was the love of my life. No, I am certain that he was. But happy endings are not the rule. Sometimes you give it your all, and things still don’t turn out well. Sometimes A for effort looks just like an F in a funhouse mirror. It’s okay. I’ve survived a lot of… Continue reading Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood

One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune

July 8, 2025July 7, 2025 michele

Carley Fortune has done it again—but this time, she’s truly outdone herself. One Golden Summer is a luminous, emotional escape to Barry’s Bay, blending sun-drenched nostalgia with the kind of romance that lingers long after you’ve turned the final page. This is, without a doubt, my favorite of hers so far. At the heart of… Continue reading One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune

“She’s a drug and I’m hopelessly addicted.” Whit Lancaster burst into my life like a storm. Dark and thunderous, furious and fierce.

Maine Characters by Hannah Orenstein

June 11, 2025May 28, 2025 michele

Drawn in by its charming cover, I picked up Maine Characters expecting a light summer read — and while the lake setting was exactly what I needed, the story turned out to be much deeper and more emotional than I anticipated. Hannah Orenstein has crafted a heartfelt, complex novel about family, grief, and the bond… Continue reading Maine Characters by Hannah Orenstein

B.K. Borison delivers a heartfelt, cozy, and utterly charming romance in First-Time Caller, a story that feels like a warm hug with strong Sleepless in Seattle vibes—only with a modern twist and a lot more personality.
