Just Gals being Pals

Girlfriend Material by Katia Rose

November 6, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

There is a photo, one of the canonical sapphic photos of the internet. It shows one woman lying down on her back, staring up at another woman’s face as she is straddled and the latter does her makeup. It’s an incredible photo and basically every queer woman I know wants that moment for themselves. Girlfriend Material by Katia Rose makes a book out of it and honestly, people should keep doing it it’s wonderful. Allison is the proverbial golden retriever nerd girl who is a […]

A desi retelling of Austen’s Emma

Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron

January 6, 2022 by Pooja 6 Comments

Kamila has a pretty great life – a job she loves, friends she adores and who adore her, a wonderful dog, and of course Rohan, her childhood friend who’s always been by her side. Nothing needs to change. Right? Right? I adored this book. Partly because I love Austen’s Emma and enjoyed picking out its echoes here, but what sold me most on this book are the characters. Kamila is a heroine I loved rooting for, one who felt authentic with her joy and her […]

Some Romance Quick Reads to Start the Year

One Minute to Midnight by Jasmine Luck

Resolutions by Lucy Eden

January 1, 2022 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

Having always intended to spend New Year’s Day home and reading I had stashed a light, fun read in my Kindle account to help kick off the year. Then, scrolling through Twitter this morning I saw a link to another and thought – yes, let’s do this.  About half the time I start my Cannonball Reads off with a romance (although my first Cannonball book ever, Pope Joan, was definitely NOT) so it felt like the absolute right way to start off CBR14. One Minute […]

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

June 16, 2021 by faintingviolet 7 Comments

One of the reading groups I am part of chose People We Meet on Vacation for our August read. I quickly poked around my library catalog and saw that it had a stunning number of holds and put in my request immediately, expecting it to take a month or so for a copy to make its way to me. Surprise, surprise, I somehow got a copy in a week (I think I managed to get lucky with my local branch). I grabbed it as I […]

Waking Up Married

“Oops, we got married in Vegas” – a thoughtfully explored friends-to-lovers romance

Waking Up Married by Reese Ryan

April 14, 2021 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

Reese Ryan is slowly becoming one of my new favorite authors. I love her characters, their banter, and their amazing chemistry. And this best-friends-to-lovers and fake-marriage book is no different! While I’ve previously read the second book in this series, I haven’t read most of the others, and found it relatively easy to read this as a standalone. “How did you two meet?” Brigitta asked, smiling at them the way people often smiled at newlyweds. Zora felt guilty for evoking such genuine emotions when their […]

Acting Up

Friends-to-lovers and found family goodness!

Acting Up by Adele Buck

March 17, 2021 by llamareadsbooks 5 Comments

I’ll say right off the bat that I honestly don’t know anything about what goes on behind the scenes of a theatrical production. But I’ve been a big fan of Lucy Parker’s work, and when I saw that this was a friends-to-lovers workplace romance, I couldn’t request it fast enough. Paul and Cath, theater director and stage manager respectively have known each other for ten years – 14 if you count college – and have worked together for most of the time. They’re best friends […]
