Hey guys! Long time no book review. I’m stoked to be sharing a new one today! My book club’s January pick was Icebreaker by Hannah Grace, and we’re meeting up tomorrow to discuss it. So, I thought I would share my thoughts with you guys!

I personally really enjoyed this book! I gave it 4/5 stars on Goodreads. It was right up my alley. It had romance and sports. Which had me hooked from the beginning! I loved the hockey scenes in this book and the figure skating scenes. I was introduced to a lot of things about figure skating that I did not know!

One thing about this story that I really enjoyed was the pacing! While it was long by romcom standards, Hannah Grace did a great job of pacing the plot.I also loved the characters. Um, NATE HAWKINS. He was an absolutely amazing mmc. He was a great person and a great boyfriend, which we all know is the best combo ever!! I also loved how real the side characters felt!

All in all, I really loved this book. I loved Hannah Grace’s writing style, and I will definitely be reading her other books! Have you read Icebreaker? What were your thoughts?

Book Review – Get a Life, Chloe Brown

Hey guys! It feels like it’s been a while since I wrote a blog post, let alone a book review. But, I’m back today with another review! I read this book in July and fell in love with Chloe and Red. I’m so excited to be sharing a little bit about it today!

So, this book is one of three in a series about the Brown sisters. Chloe is the first one. She is trying to branch out and do things that might scare her. Like ride a motorcycle, and have a drunken night out. She enlist the help of her new landlord, Red Morgan. And falling in love with him is the last thing she expects to do.

This book ticked a lot of boxes for me. It’s a rom-com, it had a lot of pop culture references, and it had two main characters that were sort of enemies fall in love. I really enjoyed this book. It’s the only book by Talia Hibbert that I’ve read so far, but I totally want to read her other ones. Something else that I absolutely loved about this book was the diversity! Chloe is a woman of color and she has a chronic illness. I think inclusion in books is such a wonderful thing. Diversity is definitely a common theme in Talia’s books.

I highly recommend this book if you enjoy fast pace rom-coms with an enemies to lovers trope. It was such a good book and I wish I could go back and read it for the first time again!

Book Review – People We Meet on Vacation

Hey guys! Happy Monday! I hope that your weekend was good. I can’t believe that we’re already in the last week of June. July is almost here, and school will be getting ready to start before we know it (NLG, I don’t even want to think about that hahah).

Anyway, today, I’m sharing another book review and I’m so excited about it! I got this book back in April and I held onto it until my beach trip a few weeks ago. I absolutely loved this book. I had never read a book by Emily Henry before, but her style was wonderful. This was an easy read and it was so easy to get into. My friend read Beach Read while I read this one. I plan on reading that one soon!

While the relationship part was definitely a slow burn, it was so worth it!! I loved how there was time to really establish the friendship between Alex and Poppy.

I really loved the way that travel was so important to the story. I truly felt like I had traveled around the world while reading this. I also really liked the characters, Poppy was pretty relatable and I loved Alex so much! If you are looking for a fun read that is pretty lighthearted, I highly recommend this one!

Let me know if you’ve read this one!

Book Review – Malibu Nights

Hey guys, and happy Thursday! This post was supposed to go up yesterday, oops. But, better late than never. I’m actually so excited to share this post with you guys!! So, I didn’t realize this book was coming out until a few weeks ago. Malibu Nights is by Taylor Jenkins Reid, who wrote Daisy Jones and the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. 

On June 1st, I picked this book as my June Book of the Month. I didn’t start reading it until last week, but you guys. THIS BOOK WAS FANTASTIC. I had high hopes for this book. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was my favorite read of 2020. 

Malibu Rising tells of the infamous Riva siblings, Nina, Jay, Hud, and Kit. The year is 1983, and the party of the year is about to begin. This story goes hour by hour on that day. It covers everything that happens before the party and covers the party as well. 

There is also a parallel in this story that tells the story of Mick Riva (He’s also in the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo) and June. (Nina, Kit, Jay, and Hud’s mom).

So many secrets and revelations come to light the night of the party. I got to a point where I couldn’t put the book down. I really have come to love Taylor Jenkins Reid’s style. I was captivated by the story of the Riva siblings. I was so intrigued by Mick and his rise to fame. There were also so many minor characters that added such depth to this story.

I’m giving this book 5 stars. So far, it’s my only 5-star book of the year. (Although some have come close.) You can click the image of the book below to shop! You should definitely buy this book and read it!!

Book Review – The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Hey guys! Today, I’m sharing a book review with you guys. I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve finished a book and shared it on the blog. I’m so excited to share this one. I recently read, The Seven Husnands of Eveyln Hugo and wow is all I can say. 

I have wanted to read this book for the longest time and I finally did. And I am so glad that I did. I’m a huge fan of movies, ones from the Golden Age of Hollywood at that. So, the fact that Evelyn was a movie star during the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s was something I thoroughly enjoyed. 

All in all, I think that this book may have been my favorite book that I’ve read so far this year. It was captivating and complex. I fell in love with the story and the characters. I was moved by the tragedies and found joy in the triumphs that the characters faced.

  I was sad when I came to the end of it. I truly didn’t want it to be over, because I didn’t want to come out of the world that Taylor Jenkins Reid created. 

I can’t recommend this book enough. Go out and read it!
