I Loved This One Unabashedly and Hope You Do Too

All the Feels by Olivia Dade

by 3 Comments

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the Feels publishes October 26th, 2021. Last year I read and loved Spoiler Alert and was excited to see that there would be another book in the universe. All the Feels takes everything I loved about the first book and deepens it, makes it stronger and better. All the Feels is very likely going to make it into my top three books of the year. All the Feels is […]

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

by 4 Comments

I absolutely adored Act Your Age, Eve Brown. I *think* Take a Hint, Dani Brown is my favorite of the Brown sisters series, but this one certainly gave it a run for its money. In similar fashion to Get a Life, Chloe Brown we are in an enemies to lovers romance (which has grown on me considerably over the past few years) but in Hibbert’s hands it’s really much closer “you annoy me but once I actually get to know you I’m enamored of you” […]

“Then he slid one big, warm hand over the nape of her neck, squeezed, and said, “Don’t look so surprised. You know I love your brain.”

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

When I finished Get a Life, Chloe Brown earlier this month I immediately requested Take a Hint, Dani Brown from the library – the reading experience had been that good. When I finished Take a Hint this week, I did the same thing for Act Your Age, Eve Brown and it is currently waiting for me at my local library branch. Talia Hibbert has written some of my favorite reading experiences of the year thus far in this series and I imagine I will be […]

Be Yourself, The World Will Adjust

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

by 4 Comments

This trans coming-of-age story was a great way to jumpstart my reading in 2021.  It is the story of Felix Love, an aspiring artist who dreams of attending Brown University.  He and his best friend, Ezra Patel, attend St. Catherine’s, a private New York high school.  While Ezra’s family is insanely wealthy, Felix is a scholarship student who now lives in Harlem with his dad, who works multiple jobs to help pay for the remaining costs of Felix’s education. Felix’s dad has been very supportive […]

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

by 8 Comments

I have been waiting for this book for months and am extremely happy to report that it does not disappoint. This is only my second Dade book (Teach Me was also highly enjoyable), but I can already say my favorite thing about her writing is how relatable and human her characters are. The two leads in Spoiler Alert are at a point of change in their lives – and actively seeking it – and the layers of their lives that push them towards, and in […]
