Fake It Till You Break It This was the cutest romcom about fake dating ever! How do you get a teenager to do NOT something you want? Suggest they should do it of course. Seeing Mia and Jake agree to date one another to get their moms off their backs was so cute, and I […]
I read Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares years and years ago and absolutely loved it. And I’m so excited that it’s now a Netflix series, and I’ve been loving the first few episodes that I’ve seen (highly recommend)! Mind the Gap, Dash & Lily is the third book in this series, following The Twelve Days of Dash […]
*This review does not contain spoilers.* I really loved American Royals last year and was really looking forward to the sequel, Majesty. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the ending to the duology that I had hoped for.

It was lighthearted and adorable, but also explored some complex and serious themes, including loss and sexual identity. I enjoyed the themes, the characters and the writing immensely and I’m keen to pick up Sophie Gonzales’s debut novel to […]
