I loved this book. It's just quirky and fun with a hint of seriousness in it. If you're looking to get away from some heavy diverse reading, then this diverse contemporary romance will whisk you to better and more fun-loving days. Here's some more about the book Agreeing to go to a wedding with a [...]
Since March has a ton of new releases coming out (and it's also the start of the Spring season), I wanted to share some of my anticipated reads for the month. Many of these are hitting the bookstores on March 6th, but the month will have a ton of great reads as well. While there's [...]
Wow. I sat down with this book over the past few days and I couldn't put it down. Honestly, I would try and use the bathroom and hold it for an hour only succumbing to the excruciating pain of holding it for that long. I'm lucky it's the beginning of the year and there wasn't [...]
