Welcome to Litsy!

This was a cute friends-to-lovers Christmas romance. Will and Abbie have both been harboring feelings for the other for years but finally Will is going to do something about it. I liked both characters but wished they were more honest from the start, it was a little frustrating watching them both hide their feelings, worrying they would scare the other one off. I loved the quirky grandma and her cats 🐈

I usually love a friend to lovers books, but I got a little frustrated with the dynamic between Jasmine and Rahul and how long it took in their friendship before they really communicated.

Listened to this one over the summer (probably while packing). Like most Christina Lauren books it follows a similar pattern. It was a sweet story but there were some sad parts. CL books are always an easy, fun listen.

A quick read ~ out of my traditional “comfort zone”

Finished this a while ago with the #littensloveromance group. I enjoyed it immensely. Very character-driven, which I don't mind, but I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and something to happen to ruin their idyllic holiday, which never really did. Solid found family vibes, looking forward to the next Earl's story when it comes out next May.

I loved this one. The characters were so well written and that surprise at the end will have you gasping.

I love Emma Lord‘s books, she‘s definitely an auto read for me. And the fun thing is now my 16 year old loves them too, so we can share. This one was an also set in New York City, poignant and meaningful and a mixture of happy and sad. Probably not my most favorite of hers but still a really great read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Read this regency romcom for book club and it was cute! I really liked the strong characterization in the beginning, and the plot was fun and silly, but other than that it didn‘t do a whole lot for me. Some language/perspectives seemed a bit too modern for the time period, and it got a little too meta with the tropes in places (like one character saying out loud “we‘re like a found family!”) I could be persuaded to read the next book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
