A fun runaway bride romance

Three Reasons to Run by Jackie Lau

by Leave a Comment

I love how much food is central to Jackie Lau books and how I’m basically guaranteed to find something fun and lighthearted in her stories. The whole premise of Three Reasons to Run sounded like it would be a delight, and I’m so glad I got to read it! Yvonne has been in a relationship with Carl for five years, engaged for two, and in that time she’s slowly been realizing that it wasn’t a relationship that fulfilled her or she could see a positive […]

At the second wedding Max attempts to ameliorate his […]

The Stand-In by Lily Chu

by 5 Comments

Lily Chu’s The Stand-In was a very nice way to spend 10 hours and it reignited my off and on search for the perfect to-do list organizer. When The Stand-In opens, Gracie Reed has taken a sick day from work to go see a lawyer about whether she has a case against her gross, handsy boss. After an unproductive meeting, she goes to her local coffee shop, hoping for some decadent chocolate treats to lift her spirits. She strikes out there too. What she does […]
