An absolutely unstoppable whirlwind that you will get so caught up in, you forget to resurface. This book is phenomenal.

My mom recommended this book, and while she always has phenomenal taste...can I just say, WOW. I wanted nothing more than to curl into this book and never leave.

This book was so freaking cute. I swear I was squealing as much as I was reading. While it's a cute fantasy romcom, it's also a cozy fantasy full of adventure and the most beautiful story of love, friendship and betrayal.

This book was an emotional and beautiful ride. I would recommend it to everyone. But especially those that have someone with a chronic illness in their life. This book got into what it feels like both physically and emotionally to have a chronic illness at a young age. The frustration, the resignation, the feelings of embarrassment during sudden flares, the worry of burdening those around you.

When Brie‘s neighbor tries to drug her with a love potion and she flings it at him but accidentally hits the werewolf behind. Now the werewolf is claiming she‘s his mate. But is she really? Or is it only because of the love potion she nailed him in the head with? It‘s hilarious

10/10 go read it...go read it now...

This novel is powerful and full of so much heart and hurt. Showcasing just how painful secrets and miscommunication can be, and the power of finally putting it all in the open with the people you love.

This book was cute but also a bit frustrating, I felt like Toni clung a little too hard to the not believing in relationships and kind of treated Addie like s*** in the process.

Unfortunately her nemesis will also be going, and the executive assistant only booked them one room 😱

I love her writing so much! And the narration was fantastic. Sona is befriended by her patient Mira, a painter who has lived a life precisely on her own terms. She decided that Sona is meant for a big life, and pushes her towards taking risks, and facing her fears.

This book is so cute! I‘m so glad I picked it up at the library the other day. Koishi and her Dad run a hard to find restaurant and detective agency. You describe a dish associated with a memory that you want to taste again and they will make it for you, make it taste the same as it did in that memory.

Highly, highly recommend if you need something cozy to read.
