Tracy Garvis Graves is one of my go-to authors! I absolutely love the way she’s able to infuse a real-life feel into her fiction. Unfortunately, Heard It in a Love Song wasn’t the huge hit I was expecting. It took quite some time for this story to capture my attention. I wished there had been…

Sugar Daddy – Review
That title threw me for a loop when I first read it. I would never be someone to read about girls with sugar daddies and be even remotely interested in that storyline. However, many of my favorite bloggers and bookstagrammers recommended this book and said not to judge it by its title. I searched my…
The Bromance Book Club – Review
Whew! Where to start with this problematic, train wreck of a book? The Bromance Book Club is a fun, endearing, and exciting concept.

You Were There Too – Review
I couldn’t put You Were There Too by Colleen Oakley down this weekend. I’m completely drawn to the idea of prophetic dreams or telepathic dreams, having experienced some unexplainable ones myself. It was interesting to see the author’s take on it, which gave this story a bit of a magical realism feel. I’ve been anxious…
The Flatshare – Review
Backlist book number two of the year and it was another hit! I love books set in Britain, obviously, so I knew I had to get this adorable ROM-COM after seeing the fantastic reviews of it last year. Luckily I got it on sale at the end of the year and was eager to start…

In Five Years – Review
Many thanks to Netgalley and Atria Books for the chance to read this novel early. It’s no secret I love mindbending books that play with the concept of time. As soon as I read the blurb for this one, I knew I would be bumping it to the top of my to be read list….
