Book Review: The Love Hypothesis
The romance is so cute that I couldn’t help but squeal with joy! Perfect for people just starting out in the genre.
Book Review: Bad Archive
When she reflects on the good in life, it is hard not to smile, and small rich joyful sentences peek out unexpectedly all through the book.
Book Review: Intermezzo
Intermezzo can be described as the next episode in Sally Rooney’s series of novels about young adults and adult-adults figuring out what to say to each other.
Book Review: The Bride Test
With a driven plot, diverse characters and realistic perspectives, what more do you need? I loved this book.
