Having enjoyed The Love Hypothesis last year and the STEMinist Novellas a few months ago, I was extremely excited for Love on the Brain. And I did enjoy the reading experience but I had one major criticism – it was the same characters and tropes as in all four of Ali Hazelwood’s other books. Love on the Brain follows Bee, […]
The Bridge Kingdom (5 stars) The Good Things: I loved this book so much. It gripped me so completely from the beginning that I barely took any notes. I was prepared to give it five stars from the very first chapter Loved the slowburn romance between Aren and Lara. The tension was good. There were […]

The novel follows two soon-to-be-Culinarians, Helena and Penelope, who […]

Good Things: My first five star read of the year! It was everything I wanted. A perfect fit for my mood at the time. Slowburn fantasy romance and a retelling/ novel inspired by a number of different fairy tales and myths. It’s the second book in the Married to Magic series but can be easily […]
