Review: The Unraveling by Vi Keeland
It took me forever to get into this story, and—if I’m honest—I’m not sure I ever completely got there. The Unraveling had so much potential.
Review: Dishonestly Yours by Krista & Becca Ritchie
Dishonestly Yours is the first book in a brand-new series about two con artist families, written by Krista and Becca Ritchie. Best friends Phoebe and Hailey try to leave their life of deceit behind and start over by living honestly in Connecticut. That’s difficult to do when their grifter siblings decide to follow them.
Review: The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center
I expected The Rom-Commers to be exactly that: a standard romantic comedy. I was pleasantly surprised by how heartwarming it is.

Review: The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
Good riddance to my reading slump! The Paradise Problem is a sweet, laugh-out-loud, wholly addictive delight that kept me up all night.
Review: The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen
Sarina Bowen has covered almost every square inch of the romance genre, and now she has branched out into the world of mysteries with The Five Year Lie. As a first effort, it’s pretty good.
Review: I Thought of You by Jewel E. Ann
In the words of Taylor Swift, “It’s me, hi. I’m the problem, it’s me.” My feelings about I Thought of You are a bit all over the place. I think my tepid response is partially due to my inability to focus on the different story angles equally. I’m a mood reader, so perhaps I just wasn’t in the mood. I don’t know, but it’s far from being a bad book.
Audiobook Review: Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez
I wish I could say that I’m able to exercise some self-control in my consumption of Abby Jimenez’s books, but the truth is I gobble them up eagerly, always lying to myself that I’ll read just one more chapter. Just for the Summer is deliciously funny and emotional—two great attributes that work well together for an addictive read.
Top Ten Tuesday: Tearjerkers
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week is an “April Showers” freebie. Rather than list books that feature rain on the cover, I thought it would be fun to spotlight books that made me cry buckets. Therefore, my Top Ten Tuesday topic for this week is Tearjerkers.
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.
Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Spring 2024 TBR
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Books on My Spring 2024 TBR. When I look back in July, it should be interesting to see how many books I’ve actually read.
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.
