The Lost Bookshop Review
This book wraps you up like a fuzzy blanket. I laughed at the awkward flirting, even if some parts felt cheesy. Still, it made my grumpy mood vanish faster than free donuts in the office kitchen.
Romance
Books that focus on romantic relationships between characters.
Rating: 4/5
Every Last Word Review
Every Last Word surprised me. It’s honest about OCD without being sad all the time. The friendships felt real, but some chatter was cheesy enough to make me cringe. Still, I kept turning pages—mostly because I cared what happened next.
Rating: 4.3/5
Madame Bovary Review
Emma Bovary wants romance but gets small-town drama and bad choices. Flaubert writes her so real, I kept yelling at the pages, but couldn’t stop reading—kind of like watching someone eat soap and wondering what happens next.
Rating: 4.3/5
If He Had Been with Me Review
If He Had Been With Me hits you right in the feels. Autumn and Finny are easy to root for, even when you want to shake some sense into them. Keep tissues close and maybe some chocolate too.
Rating: 3.8/5
Madame Bovary Review
Emma Bovary wants romance, gets reality, and blames everyone except herself. Flaubert’s sharp writing makes you laugh, sigh, and shake your head. At least my own love life isn’t quite as messy—yet.
Rating: 4.5/5
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Review
Evelyn Hugo’s seven husbands made my life look boring, but her real love story knocked me sideways. Glitz, drama, and secrets—this book had me up past bedtime with crumbs in my bed and tears in my eyes.
Rating: 4/5
Ugly Love Review
Ugly Love hit me right in the feels. Colleen Hoover mixes messy love with real pain—you’ll laugh, maybe cry, and side-eye elevators forever. Not perfect, but darn if Miles and Tate didn’t stick with me!
Rating: 4.5/5
Call Me by Your Name Review
Aciman really knows how to paint summer in Italy; you can almost smell the peaches. Elio and Oliver feel real, awkward, and honest. The slow pace isn't for everyone, but the emotion hit me right in the chest.
Rating: 4/5
The Nightingale Review
The Nightingale book swept me into a world of birdsong and bravery. With every page, I heard both the whistles and the worries, and sometimes got pecked by emotions I didn’t see coming. Not perfect, but real and moving.
Rating: 3.5/5
Romantic Comedy Review
This book made me laugh out loud more than once, but also surprised me with some sweet moments. The romance is funny and real, even if it gets a bit cheesy. Perfect for a rainy afternoon!
