The Good things I was part of a Tandem Collective Global readalong for this book and I’m glad I was! It was a marvellous book and an interesting blend of sci fi and literary fiction. Really fascinating concept that kept me intrigued the entire way through. Each chapter felt like its own little short story, […]
There’s nothing I love more than a second chance romance – it may even be my favourite romance trope. And The Road Trip did an amazing job of giving me everything I want in a good second chance romance. The novel is written in alternating perspectives (Addie and Dylan) and also alternating then and now timelines. We […]
A historical Chinese fantasy focusing on political warfare and intrigue, She Who Became The Sun was one of my most highly anticipated books of the year. Especially given it’s comparison to The Poppy War, which also happens to be one of my all time favourite books. So what is the book about? There are two distinct parts […]
Ever since I first heard about The Love Hypothesis early this year through Nick @ The Infinite Limits of Love, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for it to be released. The book follows Olive, who is a PhD candidate in biology, and Dr Adam Carlsen, an academic in her department, which got me super excited because […]

Everything he knows disappears in an instant – his promising ballet […]
TW: Addiction, grief, depression I have a love-hate relationship with Gayle Forman’s books. Just One Day is probably one of my favourite YA books of all time but I really struggled with her last few releases. I was not a fan at all of I Was Here and while I did enjoy I Have Lost My Way, I didn’t find it […]
What a fun and unique read! This Poison Heart features a blend of plant loving, Greek mythology and a haunting tale to find one’s own mysterious heritage. I thought Briseis was such a fun main character, particularly with her powers of growing and understanding plants (like Poison Ivy). Although this isolates her from other people, she has […]
A Sweet Mess and The Dating Dare are companion novels and it’s a little weird for me to be reviewing them in this order because I actually read the newly released The Dating Dare first… but the reason why I ended up picking up A Sweet Mess as well was because even though The Dating Dare could be read standalone, I felt like […]
The Good Things I read Threadneedle as part of the Tandem Collective’s Aussie readalong! A new upper YA contemporary fantasy series. It had a really interesting and unique magic system! The magic and the world lore were my favourite parts. I couldn’t get enough of them! There were some quite gruesome moments which I didn’t […]
