More Than Pen Pals by Dana Wilkerson I gave More Than Pen Pals by Dana Wilkerson 4 stars , and this book was such a delight from beginning to end. I love a story told through letters—BE STILL MY HEART—and this one absolutely delivered. There’s just something so personal and intimate about that format, and it made Ash and Leslie’s connection feel even more special. Their history as childhood pen pals who reconnect as adults is incredibly endearing, and I was invested in them

Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn I gave Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn another shot, and while she’s still a bit spicier than I typically prefer in a rom-com, I ended up giving this one 3.5 stars . I’ll be honest—I struggled with the concept right from the start. It felt like a bit of a reach and not very realistic in my opinion. I mean… who agrees to go on a random marriage retreat with someone they don’t even know just for the sake of it? I just wasn’t fully b

The Highland Fling by Meghan Quinn I gave The Highland Fling by Meghan Quinn 3.5 stars . This one took me a little while to get into, but once it found its rhythm, the humor definitely started to hit. Meghan Quinn’s writing always brings the laughs, and this book was no exception.

My Phony Valentine by Courtney Walsh I gave My Phony Valentine by Courtney Walsh 5 stars. As someone who loves hockey, this book was a no-brainer for me—and it absolutely delivered. It was witty, charming, and just so much fun to read from beginning to end. Dallas Burke is the definition of bad boy gone good, and I loved every layer of his character. Beneath the reputation and rough edges was someone loyal, protective, and capable of loving deeply. Watching his walls slowly c

Book Lovers by Emily Henry Book Lovers (5/5 stars) was one of those books that I both wanted to end so I could "get to the good part" and not end - because it was that good. I actually screamed when I turned the final page. "She wonders whether what comes next could ever live up to the expectations. She doesn't know. You never can. She turns the page anyway." I have a love-hate relationship with rom-coms (books and movies alike) because they are so terrifyingly close to real

I don't normally gush about a movie adaptation of a book that I love, but...holy smokes...this movie was so good! I adored reading People We Meet on Vacation a couple of years ago. Just as I do with any of Emily Henry's books. The on screen chemistry Emily Bader and Tom Blythe had was perfection. However, some of my favorite parts of the books were left out. Y'all book version Alex is a book-reading nerd. Like sitting in a bar, alone, reading a book on his phone nerd. (Hi, it
