A fake relationship that works!

If I never Met You by Mhairi McFarlane

November 27, 2020 by Nart Leave a Comment

I’m a sucker for a well told fake relationship trope. It is one of these story format that is incredibly hard to get right because of how ludicrous the very idea is, at least if you’re past the age of making decisions with a mind addled with teenage hormones.  The set up is key to the believability, and McFarlane nails it.  Plot: sort of boring woman works for regressive, sexist company. She has been immune to a lot of the really nasty stuff that goes […]

When Asking A Goddess for a Boon, Be Careful How You Word Your Request

Take A Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

November 23, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I read and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in Talia Hibbert’s the Brown Sisters trilogy, Get a Life, Chloe Brown.  Knowing that I would likely enjoy the second book, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, I put off reading it – as one does. This was both genius and foolish because, of course I loved it. I loved it even more than Get a Life. When Take a Hint opens, Dani Brown and her best friend Sorcha are performing a ritual, calling to the goddess Oshun. Dani wants […]

The Wrong Mr. Darcy by Evelyn Lozada, Holly Lörincz

June 8, 2020 by J 2 Comments

I am weak for a Pride & Prejudice retelling. My best friend pointed out that I never enjoy them, despite the fact that I will read almost any that come my way. One of the reasons I so often don’t enjoy them is because I don’t know what I want in a retelling. When do I begrudge the changes made to put the story in a new context? What elements are necessary to retain the spirit of the story I love? Do I need to […]

Young, and Intense, Love

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

May 6, 2020 by Tracy 1 Comment

I’m not giving this book a rating because how much I liked it isn’t the same as how good I think the book is. So let me start with this: Eleanor & Park is an excellent YA romance. Eleanor has just moved back in with her mom, stepfather, and 4 siblings. On her first day in her new school, she doesn’t know where to sit on the bus and Park reluctantly makes room for her. For days they ride silently on the bus, but then […]
