Book Review: If you're a TVD fan, you should read this.

 Stefan Salvatore in the form of a book boyfriend.

The storyline of the whole getting to know each other, and the chemistry was good. The characters felt quite cute whenever they were with each other. The conversation and everything were definitely cute. The book delivered a cute-sy romantic comedy on a hot platter. However, the end and the main plot of the story felt like it left something to be delivered.

Book Review: I'm sorry but I will always be team Camila | Daisy Jones & The Six Review

My honest (and slightly angry) review of Daisy Jones & The Six — the hype, the drama and the heartbreak.

I had heard a lot about the Amazon Prime series of this book. I had watched numerous edits on Instagram and heard many praises for the book and the series, especially, which is why I picked the book, despite hating any story that has to do anything with cheating.

Book Review: Things We Never Got Over

Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score

Quote: 

"I didn't know what went behind closed doors. But I did know that sometimes a bad seed was just a bad seed. No matter what field it was planted in, no matter how it was tended, some just came up rotten."

Book Review: A Novel Love Story

A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston

Quote:  

"Because even after the people were gone, there were still stories. There were always stories. Other people took the heart of her books, and kept them close, and nurtured them and grew into something new, because nothing could ever stay in stasis. Nothing ever stopped. Nothing was permanent. Art lived and breathed, like love, like friendship. Life-like works of art-was transformative. It persisted. And through them, so did we."

Book Review: Nothing Like The Movies

 

Nothing Like The Movies by Lynn Painter

Quote: 

"You can take time alone to think, Lib, and you can put space between us and decide I'm not worth the risk. There's nothing I can do to stop you from that. But just know that no matter what you decide, and no matter what happens, I will feel this way about you for the rest of my life. There will never be anyone else for me. Hard stop. So go have your think and do what you need to do. But Lizzie - we are worth the risk. We always will be." 

The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

Quote:

 "That was love, wasn't it? It wasn't just a quick drop - it was falling over and over again, for your person. It was falling as they became new people. It was learning how to exist with every new breath. It was uncertain and it was undeniably hard, and it wasn't something you could plan for. 

Love was an invitation into the wild unknown, one step at a time together." 

Book Review: My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington & LJ Shen

My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington & LJ Shen

Quote: 

"They say fate is nothing but the consequences of our decisions. Well, I planned on being the worst thing fate ever had in store for him."

Book Review: Funny Story by Emily Henry

Quote:

"I honestly can't totally figure out why someone as good as you would love me, when I can be kind of a pessimistic asshole. But I do feel the luckiest person in the world, to be who you want. Because I want you too. I love you too. I love you in a way that feels brand-new. You make every single thing that went wrong feel like it was just a step in the right direction, and it makes me excited. For life to keep surprising me. You aren't what I pictured. You are so, so, so much better than what my cynical little brain could've ever come up with."

Book Review: The American Roommate Experiment

The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas

Quote:

"I've missed you since you stepped out of this apartment, hours ago. And I had missed you for a long time before then, Lucas."

Blurb: Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. First, she quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer, only to enter a creative slump. Then the ceiling of her New York apartment falls in. To make matters worse, when she heads to her best friend's apartment, she finds that Lina has already lent the studio to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been - for lack of a better word - stalking on Instagram. 

When Lucas suggests that they share the small space, Rosie discovers that he strolls around the place on a towel, has a distracting grin, an irresistible accent and cooks meals that are just as tempting. Then he learns about Rosie's writer's block and proposes an outrageous idea: he'll take her on a series of experimental dates to reignite her literary muse. 

This shouldn't be a problem because Lucas's stay in New York also has a deadline. But she might find it hard to write now the research is so much more fun...
