A steamy marriage-of-convenience, office romance that revitalizes the trope with a strong Heroine and relationship between the Heroine and Hero built on mutual respect–the constant drama makes for a riveting read, but the excessive ex-partner drama stops the book from being a 5-star read.
A detailed look at last week’s reading habits: five new books read, finished two books from my Up Next shelf, three new books I want to read that all seem like impactful reads and two anticipated books releasing this week–one of which I reviewed as an eARC two weeks ago!
A beautifully written, heart-wrenching story of Rose, an anorectic, who decides she must get better to help her identical twin sister, Lily, before she, too, falls into the abyss of an eating disorder––the novel is a superb exploration of queerness, the toxicity of diet culture and the unconditional love of twin sisters as it navigates the emotional and mental pitfalls of anorexia and the toll it takes on relationships.

A sweet romance, encompassing all the best parts of a swoon-worthy romance, a supportive Hero, capable Heroine and adorable meet-cute; despite the initial misunderstanding between the main characters, the family-oriented drama establishes a couple that stands by each other through everything.
A detailed look at last week’s reading habits: four new books read, starting a new book from my Up Next shelf, three new books I want to read centring diverse characters and a new eARCs I’m reviewing this week!
A story of 15-year-old Bean as she tries to reconcile the apparent suicide of her brother and the spiritual journey she goes on as she attempts to piece together her brother’s last day. owever, the unrealistic character behaviour and lack of Inuit characters severely detracted from the enjoyability of the novel.
