Welcome to Litsy!

This book was absolutely hilarious! I laughed out loud so many times. If you like film references, simultaneously embracing and bashing Hallmark Christmas movies, and a irritation-to-easy friends-to-star crossed lovers facing an seemingly impossible situation (not world-ending stakes) that makes use of many a Rom-Com trope, then you will enjoy this book!

I like the two sisters — Addie and Tessa Jane — but many of the secondary characters are indistinguishable from each other. The resolution of the problem the sisters have seems a little rushed, but I liked that the romances were not the center of the story. I saw two alligators and a lot of turtles on my #audiowalk; I‘ve worked at this university for over 20 years and never saw a single alligator even though I‘ve known they were there.

I like Webber‘s books for listening to after heavy reading; her stories are sweet with low stakes conflict with a little magic mixed in. This is her new one, and it‘s my new #audiowalk book. It wasn‘t too hot to walk outside this evening, so I took advantage of that. Turtles were out again.

Such an adorable story. I loved a lot of the characters throughout the story. It was a great workplace romance.

I picked this up from the library without reading the blurb...it was definitely a surprise! Despite the fact the cover says "A Love Story," I didn't realize it was a rom-com. Yes, that's my own sexism on display. ?

That said, it was a cute, light-hearted read. I'm not a huge romance reader, but every once in a while I enjoy them, and this hit the spot.

Oh, and it was my #doublespin pick, so yay!

This was a delightful read, although I wanted to strangle her husband most of the way. Lily lost her job and decided to move up her dream of moving to the country in France. Her husband said “no” and despite his promises, would never be willing to do it. Lily left anyway and her adventure began, with her hoping her husband would join her.

Super sweet romance story about a music teacher, Billy, and his teenage rock idol Margot Hammer, former drummer for a wildly popular rock band. Loved the slow burn and how their relationship developed so organically. I read this in one sitting. 4.5 ⭐️
