⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: You, With a View by Jessica Joyce 🎧
I was absolutely GLOWING with swoons (and maybe even a happy tear or two) at the end of this book, and I can’t offer higher praise than that. That’s exactly why I read romance, the feeling I HOPE to get from every love story. This book got better and better with every page, until I was so emotionally attached to this couple that I was aching for them to finally get their happily ever after. The…

This Chick Read: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
I think I must be the only person who has never read a Colleen Hoover novel before, or at least that’s the way I feel. It Ends With Us has been on the bestseller list since it was released in 2016 and now that it’s been announced that a movie will be made starring Blake Lively as our heroine Lily it is back at the top again. I received this book and it’s sequel, It Starts With Us as a Christmas…

Stranded through the novel is the television coverage of the 1994-1995 O.J. Simpson murder and later his robbery trials, and each woman becomes obsessed in her own way with the televised legal morass. The reader can see the parallels between the life of the…

MINI REVIEW: The Ones We Fight For by Katie Golightly
It’s a mini review! I’m clearing out my review queue of all the books I can’t seem to convince myself to finish, for one reason or another. That doesn’t mean these are negative reviews, it simply means that something isn’t compelling me to keep reading at the moment. Maybe I’ll go back to them another day, maybe I won’t!
