The title of this book has nothing to do with the story. Nothing,

I’m 87% sure that I read this book once before, but it doesn’t appear as though I reviewed it so I’m counting it. Also? There are approximately eleventy billion books out there called “Heat Wave”. It took me like, five pages on the Amazon search to find this. I feel like we can come up with a more unique title, kids. Kat Vargas is a private investigator living in California by way of Hawaii. She’s tiny, tough, and she’s built a wall around her heart […]

The mistake is gigantic – like, millions […]

I don’t mind books with heroines who are a little bit of a mess – I actually quite enjoy them because it reminds me that it’s okay that I’m a little bit of a mess – but there was just something about the Shopaholic books that I just couldn’t deal with. So I’ve always resisted Sophia Kinsella’s other books, thinking that they would be […]

Finally a Philippa Gregory book I actually enjoyed
