Okay, it is a lot cheesy, but also a cute love story

Autoboyography by Christina Lauren

by Leave a Comment

Note: all images shamelessly stolen from the internet as I really got into the Simon & Schuster free online books this month.   I was on the fence about Autoboyography by Christina Lauren (or Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings). I was not sure I was reading for another GLBTQ book so soon after the others I had read, and frankly thought the cover too cute. And when I got into the book, the “meet cute” romance tone of the story explained the cover. And yes, […]

Christina Lauren goes full Nicholas Sparks

Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren

by Leave a Comment

Christina Lauren is hit and miss for me. Lauren’s novels are always well written and edited and have a strong emotional core. If you like *intensely* angsty stories, plot and character consistency be damned (no shade), I think you may really enjoy this book. Plot: Macey’s mom died, so her dad bought them a vacation home to give her a place to relax when she was overwhelmed by life. Next door lives Elliot, a kid who really loves to read. Macey also loves reading. They […]

Sweet Filthy Boy by Christina Lauren

I started the Bridgerton series after watching the eponymous show. I have a bookmark that I love that reads, “Never judge a book by its movie”. I actually preferred the show to the first book in the series. The Duke and I is the basis for the Netflix show, and the plot is essentially the same. Daphne Bridgerton, fourth child and first daughter of the Bridgerton family, is in search of a husband. Simon, the duke of the title, is in search of a way […]

Twice in a Blue Moon

Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren

This is a second chance romance, but if you love a Big Grovel, you won’t find it here. Plot: our heroine is the kind of secret child of a mega star who has been effectively in hiding since her mom took her and they left LA for the solitude of a small town. For her 18th birthday, she goes on vacation to London, meets a super cute boy, and has a whirlwind romance. Which he ends by selling her story to a gossip magazine.   […]
