I really, really enjoyed this one! Freida's twists are absolutely wild 🤣 it's 50/50 whether or not I figure it out with her books but I didn't see this one coming!

The prettiest bridge ever. This always reminds me of fairytales or gothic novels every time I drive past. ❤️

Snow dawg. 💙

The only Graves Glen book i didn't like. I found it just didn't grab me!

I saw the end coming with this 🤣 I think I've read that much Freida McFadden books that I actually have her mindset going in now.
Still an enjoyable read which is perfectly paced. I always find FM's epilogues are wild. Just when you think everything is sorted.....BAM... epilogue... all goes west 🤣

This was cuuuuuute. Grumpy/Sunshine romance where the guy is the sunshine.
This hooked me straightaway.

I had fun reading this!
There was initially far too many characters for me to keep up with but it did all fall into place nicely. I loved the relationship between Amy and Steve but the absolute highlight of the entire book was Rosie! I just want to sit on a private jet with Rosie drinking Guinness and Tequila 🤣

Cute enough, but I found Penny rather annoying. Team Francesco all the way.
Also, huge thumbs up to LJW for creating a character who was a breast cancer survivor at 25. Check your boobs, ladies. ❤️

What a lovely and completely unique novel.

Set over 24 hours and entirely in a cafe that never closes, we have half the story told by Hannah and half told by Mona (two best friends) throughout the novel we meet a mix of different customers that all find themselves in the cafe at challenging and upsetting points in their lives. We hear their stories, too.

I really enjoyed this one.

Bail at 245. I cannot stand a single character and Kelk is trying far too hard to be funny. Awful. I'm having such a bad run of books recently!

I love M&S. I can confirm that this is one of the best things I've ever eaten 🤤🤤

Bailed at 77%. I couldn't find it in me to pick up and finish this. It was so, so boring. And I found Everly a total drip. I didn't rate this Cozy Creek at all!

G O R G E O U S!
This was like a hug from my kindle. I just want to live in Cozy Creek, it seems like such an amazing place to live. 🍂🎃🧡

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cuuuuuute AF. I love the characters in this, but it got kind of sickly sweet and repetitive in parts. Great spice, though 👌 I got major Stars Hollow vibes from this.
A great romance to read whilst curled up with a pumpkin spice latte. 🎃🧡🍂

Great palette cleanser for my reading slump.
A very honest book about motherhood, without the sunshine and rainbows. A very good book for any mother.

I'm in a real reading slump recently. I thought this might bring me out, but sadly, it didn't. I found this took me forever to finish 🤦‍♀️ I wouldn't rush to read anything by this author again. The spice was good, but the actual storyline was poor.

Caught the Northern Lights whilst taking the dog out last night. Stunning. 😍✨️

Bail @ 37%.
Criiiiiiiiinge

I liked the writing style and the plot. But I've never, ever hated a character (especially a child) more than I hate Sky 😂

I love a dark romance, and whilst I would never Yuck someone else's Yum. This was too much for me 🫣😧
The scenes are very, very intense. It did take away from any storyline. The main character isn't morally grey, he's morally black, and he is completely unlikable. Not one I'd recommend as it was very graphic, violent and so intense that I was wincing whilst reading. If you're about to read this, I would try not to go in blind, like I did 🤣

Adorable. Just like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls, with magic. 🧙‍♀️🧹🔮

Bail at 112. 🤮
I can not take ANYMORE. I would have loved this when I was 14 and in my Twilight era. Now? It's tripe.

And in today's episode of "What the fuck have I just read?!" ??

Was this messed up? Yes.
Should the trigger warnings be taken seriously? Yes.
Did I devour it in one sitting? Also, yes. ?

A pretty decent thriller. I did realise who'd done it very early on, but their motive wasn't what I was expecting.
3.5 ⭐️

Bail @ Page 110. I love the short chapters, but that's about it. There are far too many people's POV to keep up with it, in my opinion.

Brilliant fun.
A dark rom com that made me laugh out loud. Josh is absolutely hilarious.

This book is killing me 🤣🤣🤣

A low pick. A very unnecessary sequel with too many POV.
I find Henry to be a fascinating character, I could have read both books entirely from his perspective.

Not the thriller I was expecting, more a family drama. However, it was packed with action and intriguing characters. Lisa Jewell always delivers.

Shein getting on the Fourth Wing hype!

Absolutely adorable 😍

Very, very dark.
I enjoyed this, it was right up my street, but I can see why a lot of people would hate this due to the content. Over 600 pages, which was a lot considering the nature of the book, but it was perfectly paced and packed with enough drama and spice to keep me interested.
My only gripe was the epilogue was awful 🤣
I'm intrigued by Tyson, I feel his book will be very interesting.

The wallpaper of dreams for my little girl. ❤️🥹
A day off spent DIY-ing instead of reading 🙈

Sounds brilliant. But it's actually an absolute bag of shite. Bail @ 30%

A gay Bridget Jones.
I adored the first half of the book. It was hilarious, and I adored both Danny and Jacob. The second half of the book let it down. It got far too whiny and woe is me for my liking. I found myself skimming a few parts towards the end. It's a shame as the first half was fantastic.

I adored this. Burgess is my new favourite Tessa Bailey character and the dream boyfriend. 😍

Not her best, but certainly not her worst.

I loved the concept of the art inspired by people's confessions. The rest was a bit tedious.

This was soooooo twisty! You think you have it all sussed, and then another twist and suspect is thrown at you, and then again, and again!
I find Alice Feeney is such a good twist writer. 4⭐️

I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I wasn't expecting much as I've seen a few bad reviews, but I really liked it! The twist came very, very early, but it works. I think this would make a great Netflix series.

The most loyal boy. 🥹💙

A sweet enough slow burn cowboy romance with lovely main characters. But it was just missing something, I found it slightly boring. I wouldn't rush to pick up a sequel.

I devoured in a day! A great kindle unlimited find 👌 not on Litsy for a review, unfortunately!
If you loved Violet and Tate in American Horror Story, you'd love this!

After growing up in Northern England in the 90s... I can not express my excitement enough! 🇬🇧

Bail at 50% I can not take anymore.

Described as "hilarious laugh out loud fun." It is not hilarious, I did not laugh, and it certainly isn't fun. It went on and on and on.....

This was DARK 🫣
I could not put this down, I was absolutely hooked, but it did feel as though HD Carlton just went for the shock factor by putting in every dark theme she possibly could.
Ryan was a complete ****. He was also unrealistic in parts. River was supposed to be this badass, likeable heroine, but I found myself wanting to shake her and tell her to shut up.
Mako, however... 🥹🫶
Check trigger warnings. I cringed a lot due to the content

Covers the subject of poverty very well. That's about the only positive. It dragged on, and on, and on. I was expecting a thriller, yet it wasn't. It was more of a family drama. Extremely unrealistic in that everything didn't work out OK, but everything worked out GREAT. Was very glad to finish this.
Kudos to Susan Lewis for tacking the themes of poverty, drugs, and grooming so sensitively, though.

Really bad, actually

I read this in one day, I could not put it down! An emotional story about grief, rebellion, anger, and love. This was probably one of my favourite CoHo books, along with Reminders of Him and Ugly Love. This did make me tear up in public 🫠😭

Absolutely brilliant. Belly laughs throughout. Hilary Whitehall is a saint 🤣
