I absolutely devoured There’s Something About Sweetie! I loved When Dimple Met Rishi and was so excited to read a companion novel about Rishi’s brother, Ashish (and yes, Rishi does make a small cameo). To be honest, I couldn’t quite remember what happened to Ashish in When Dimple Met Rishi so I was a little bit lost at the start […]
Serious Moonlight is by far my favourite contemporary YA novel that I’ve read so far this year. Granted, there hasn’t been a single Jenn Bennett book that I haven’t loved, but Serious Moonlight is my absolute favourite of everything that she has ever written. I loved the setting, the characters, the issues discussed, the mystery and just the […]
I wasn’t sure what to expect from What I Like About Me because the synopsis reminded me so much of Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy, with the beauty pageant and body positivity aspects. But What I Like About Me is definitely a vastly different book to Dumplin’. It is very quintessentially Australian and I related to it much more than I related to Dumplin’ because […]
I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately due to my busy work and travel schedule so I decided to pick up a cute, fluffy audiobook that could lift my spirits and The Flatshare definitely did the trick. It had depth and explored some hard-hitting themes, but was ultimately cute and romantic. The premise of […]
Jennifer E. Smith’s books are always short and sweet, and right up my alley. Except I kinda didn’t really like Field Notes on Love very much. Which is a big deal because I am Jennifer E. Smith trash. Field Notes on Love had a really great concept and definitely inspired a wanderlust in me. It follows Hugo, from […]
Trigger warnings: murder, rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, grief and depression I came across The Black Coats when I was browsing for my next audiobook on Audible. I didn’t read Colleen Oakes’ previous series so this was my first taste of her writing and storytelling… and I have to say that I was pretty underwhelmed by the […]
The House of Second Chances was a heartwarming story filled with moving family and friendship themes, and characters looking for second chances. It is beautifully written with perfect pacing and extremely likable characters. Although this was my very first Esther Campion novel, it definitely will not be my last. The novel is based around the restoration […]
The Hating Game was one of my favourite books of 2016 and remains to this day one of my favourite chick-lit books of all time. So 99 Percent Mine had a lot to live up to and unfortunately did not hit the same heights as Sally Thorne’s debut. Although, it had one of my favourite tropes, friends to […]
Jenn Bennett is someone who I know I can always count on for a quick and cute contemporary YA romance that is well-written. While Starry Eyes was probably my least favourite of her novels so far, it was still a really great read. For me, the setting and the plot didn’t really grab me because it’s all […]
