Ugly Love cover
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!

Call Me by Your Name cover
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.

The Nightingale: ‘The nature book of the year’ Cover
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!

Atmosphere: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Love Story Cover
Rating: 4.5/5

Atmosphere Review

Taylor Jenkins Reid writes like she’s gossiping with you over coffee. Her stories hook you quick, with real people and messy love. Sometimes the endings feel rushed, but man, those characters stay in your head like catchy tunes.

It Ends with Us: A Novel (1) Cover
Rating: 4.3/5

It Ends with Us Review

I thought I was picking up a cute romance, but Colleen Hoover threw my heart in a blender. Lily is strong and hopeful, but wow, those plot twists! Have tissues handy—this book packs an emotional punch you won’t forget.

One True Loves: A Novel Cover
Rating: 4/5

One True Loves Review

Emma’s love life is more tangled than my phone charger. One True Loves made me laugh, cry, and question my own life choices—twice. I wish the ending had a bit more mess, but it’s worth the ride.

Things We Left Behind (Knockemout Series, 3) Cover
Rating: 4/5

Things We Left Behind Review

Small-town drama comes alive in 'last got book.' I laughed, I cringed, and yes, I even teared up a little—though maybe that was just my allergies. Maggie Hemsley sure knows how to stir the pot!

A Court of Wings and Ruin (10th Anniversary Recording): A Court of Thorns and Roses, Book 3 Cover
Rating: 4.4/5

A Court of Wings and Ruin Review

Feyre’s adventures are wild, romantic, and sometimes make you shout at the book. There’s magic galore, brooding guys, and the plot? Never boring. But fair warning—some twists left me needing a snack break and a nap.

Reminders of Him cover
Rating: 4/5

Reminders of Him Review

Kenna's a total mess, but I loved watching her try to get her life together. This book made me ugly cry and laugh—sometimes at the same time. Colleen Hoover really knows how to poke you right in the feelings.
