Review: One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware
One Perfect Couple may not be perfect, but it certainly puts the thrill in thriller. This is one creepy story where everyone’s motives are suspect.

Review: The Surrogate by Penelope Ward
The plot of The Surrogate sounded just messy enough to pique my interest but not so outlandish as to be implausible: dead wife and frozen eggs, grieving husband, in-laws who want a grandchild, and a surrogate who falls for the husband.
Review: The Teacher by Freida McFadden
Long story short, The Teacher just wasn’t my cup of tea.
Review: Bride by Ali Hazelwood
Ali Hazelwood, the reigning queen of STEM romances, dips her toes in the paranormal romance waters with Bride. Hazelwood is an auto-buy author for me, so I was especially curious to see how she would handle a genre that is, admittedly, not my favorite.
Audiobook Review: Caught Up by Liz Tomforde
Liz Tomforde has officially become an auto-buy author for me. I’m loving her Windy City series, which enriches the sports romance genre to a surprising degree. She has tackled issues of mental health, negative body image, and toxic family relationships—all against the backdrop of professional sports. Caught Up now places the spotlight on the challenges of single parenting.
Review: Nobody Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie
I can’t believe that one of my most favorite series has finally come to an end. *grabs tissues* After 13 books, I’m still as invested as ever in the Like Us characters. As with most endings, Nobody Like Us is bittersweet.
Audiobook Review: The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune
The House in the Cerulean Sea received numerous accolades when it was released, and I’m happy to say it lives up to the hype. This whimsical audiobook delighted me from beginning to end.
Review: Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
Iron Flame is the heart pounding follow-up to the breakout hit Fourth Wing. Here are my overall thoughts.
Review: My Darling Bride by Ilsa Madden-Mills
I typically like Ilsa Madden-Mills’s writing, but My Darling Bride is not her best work. It feels like the author rushed to put out this book, and it’s missing her usual charm and humor.
Review: None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell
Lisa Jewell delivers another taut thriller with None of This Is True. I loved the concept of a well-known podcaster unexpectedly becoming a subject of her own true crime podcast.
Review: Woke Up Like This by Amy Lea
Well, wasn’t this absolutely adorable? 13 Going on 30 is one of those rom coms I never get tired of watching, and Woke Up Like This is reminiscent of that film, only instead of middle school friends, the protagonists are two high school seniors who are enemies.
Audiobook Review: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Whew! That was a long one. It took me over 32 hours to listen to the audiobook. Outlander is a sweeping historical romance, but even with the excellent narration, I felt winded by the end.
