Another day, another sneaking off for beer and a book. Plus my new fave shirt (it‘s so soft)
Ending the month with a romance. Starting this one today. Seemed fitting as we are having unusually hot weather for the end of September here.
pickA fun summer read! Very funny and some steam, but there‘s also some depth. Of all the Christina Lauren books I‘ve read (and I haven‘t read them all) I think this one is my favorite!
#bookspinbingo - got a 4th bingo!
pick🥰🥹 one of my favs from CL! This was such a fun book. I wasn‘t Anna‘s biggest fan at the beginning & thought it was so great to have the dual perspective because I really enjoyed Liam. At the end, they were perfect together and completely stole my heart. Another win!
pickTrope laden but still quite fun. Fake marriages, billionaires, billionaires who are also awful, sparky young kids - it doesn‘t set itself up to be classic literature but tells a the tale well. I liked the protagonist who takes no crap and doesn‘t buy into her makeover to make her a worthwhile person which I appreciated. I suspect I won‘t remember this in 6 months but enjoyed for a few hours in the sunshine

pickIt was fine, closer to meh. I liked the spunky main character, the issues that came up with the turd brother, her relationship with her dad, and forced proximity. I found that I‘m over billionaires (even the “good” ones), falling into the posh lifestyle, and some of the writers‘ writing choices. I have lots of books to read before I‘ll pick up another of theirs, but I‘m not saying it‘s a never… 🤷🏼♀️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
The best Christina Lauren so far! 💚💖
pickThis book was SO cute and funny! What a great summer read!
pickWhat a fun summer read! I am a total sucker for fake relationships that inevitably turn into something more. With a beautiful Indonesian island backdrop, Anna just has to convince her husband-of-convenience‘s family that their marriage is real. With alternating perspectives, I couldn‘t put this one down! It was so fun! I love this writing duo & I laughed out loud and just had a great time reading this!! It may not always be plausible but it‘s fun!
pickA cute romance to read either at the beach or while on vacation.
pickThis was a cute rom-com, exactly what I‘ve come to expect from Christina Lauren. The premise is very silly (a marriage of convenience during college leads to unintended consequences 5 years later) and some of the plot contrivances did make me roll my eyes (one of the love interests just happens to come from a family of billionaires), but it was entertaining and the developing romance worked for me.
pickSo good!! The main characters were great and intense. Could not put it down! It is a great spicy but predictable read!!
Two of my favorite things, books and my baby girl. She is 13 which is old for a bulldog so I‘m taking advantage of all her snuggles. Beautiful cover to put you in the summer mood. Fun fact I learned that Christine Lauren is actually 2 writers 🤯
pickIf you‘re looking for a summer vibes romance this is a perfect fit! While I‘ve never been a huge romance fan there‘s just something about a Christina Lauren novel that I just can‘t resist. The characters are funny and flawed and the story arc heartfelt if predictable. It was the perfect pallet cleanser for me! 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
pickA very fun, quick summer read. Far fetched and Cinderella-esque, but sweet and fun, did I say fun yet? What could go wrong with a “collaborators with benefits” agreement? There are some VERY steamy sex scenes, especially at the end… Book #58 in 2024
pickIt's a fake dating with rich people family drama and unrealistic rom-com story :)
It's a well-balanced story that leaves you smiling. Perfect summer vibes :)
pickIs this my favorite CLo novel ever? Maybe! The romance between Anna and Liam was sweet and spicy and I loved the Succession-like setting complete with terrible family members, financial intrigue, and a private tropical island. The perfect summer read! #20in4 @Andrew65 #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickAudacious setting and narcissistic father but I enjoyed the main characters.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️
Entertaining enough, just formulaic and not much of a spark to set it apart. 🎧
Barnes & Noble Memorial Day sale was worth the trip! Double rewards points and much of the store on sale.
pickThis was a super fun romance to read! I am going to have to read more by these two friends. #botm

pickThis is a fun summer rom com that is ridiculous and unlikely but made me smile anyway. 4⭐️
bailedBailing at 20%, not for me. Cringed on every other page.
pickIf you are in the mood for an ‘I feel so high school every time I look at you‘ type of romance where it‘s all forward motion and any controversy is noise outside the HEA couple‘s doing, this is the book for you. It‘s a story as cute as its cover!
Hm. 18% in and I‘m getting too many eye-roll moments. Should I persist, or drop it…
Nope, don‘t like it. Don‘t say lol in a book (that‘s not in a text convo). I‘m not here for that.
These are my MAY BOTM picks. What did you get?..

A fun summer romance that I highly recommend! Some of my fav tropes - fake relationship, second chance, slow burn! The Christina Lauren writing duo always deliver great romances that are fun and have something to say at the same time. I loved the family nature of this book, showing both the good and bad sides of families, something that all readers can relate to. The book is funny, touching, sweet, and filled with the intelligent banter.

I read 7 good books, 1 meh book & this fabulous book last week!
Christina Lauren has done it again! 💙💙
pickSo good! It was fun and funny. I laughed out loud multiple times and reread some passages just because they were so entertaining. Christina Lauren brought the spice, too.
A destination wedding, an 🤬 dad, a messed up family dynamic and a fake (ish) marriage.

The day my husband moves out of our apartment is also the day Resident Evil Village releases for PlayStation, and you might be surprised which of these things lands with a greater emotional impact.
A teachers institute today (the start of my 4 day weekend) so I see lots of book time & kitty snuggles in my future.
Pic 2/2.
