Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first two books written by Abby Jimenez, The Friend Zone and The Happy Ever After Playlist, I fully expected Life’s Too Short to knock my socks off as well. Guess what? It did. This book checked off all my boxes. You’ve got a fun-loving heroine, a glum hero in need of rescuing, single parenting, and swooning galore.
I was pleasantly surprised by this absorbing new adult romance.
From the very beginning, I knew that Every Last Secret would be one twisted, complex thriller. The plot is addictive, and it kept me enthralled from beginning to end.
The Heart Principle is an exceptional story that is far deeper than I anticipated. It’s about the importance of loving yourself and using your voice.

When an audiobook is narrated by the author, one hopes it will be pretty good. I’m not sure if it’s due to Julia Whelan’s background as an actress or the fact that she wrote the words she speaks, but her narration of My Oxford Year is exceptional. She is so expressive that it is easy to get wrapped up in the story.
I’m fairly new to Kate Canterbary’s work, but I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve read so far. I am surprised that Underneath it All fell so far short of my expectations.
Single parent romances and surprise pregnancy tropes are my jam, and A Kiss for a Kiss combines both of these. The result was a little ambrosia for my bibliophilic taste buds.
Gah! I loved this book so much! A Not So Meet Cute just may be my favorite Meghan Quinn book so far. It’s a hilarious enemies-to-lovers fake relationship story with a delicious slow burn and an uber hot payoff. I read it straight through.
Boyfriend is pure entertainment packed into a quick read.
I just finished reading Before Girl—my first Kate Canterbary novel—and really enjoyed it. The author’s note at the end suggested reading this book to learn about Riley and Alex’s love story, and I’m so glad I chose to dive right in. Preservation was quite the tasty treat—so much so that I want to go back to the beginning of The Walshes series to enjoy the entire meal.
I’m clearly in the minority here. Based on all the glowing reviews, I expected to be blown away by A Love Letter to Whiskey, which only made my lackluster response all the more disappointing.
