Welcome to Litsy!

Oh, this just might be my favorite of hers yet! I really enjoyed this fake dating romantic comedy! I laughed, I cried a little & couldn‘t tear my eyes off the pages— a total #OneSittingRead for me! The Michigan summer backdrop added to the fun & I just loved the premise of Daphne fake-dating her ex-fiancé‘s fiancée‘s ex-boyfriend! It does make for a funny story, indeed! It was my first purchase to celebrate last year‘s Indie Bookstore Day, too!

Meet Emily who in her own words is as dopey as a potato. She has ditched her job as a Librarian in the US to go to Ireland and help her favorite author write the last book of her favorite childhood series.

Once in Ireland, Emily quickly meets the son of her favorite author and his bulging arms and deep eyes have her in full on giddy mode.

And so the romance begins

Average read.

Few books make me laugh but I always appreciate good banter. I loved these characters and did giggle a couple times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was surprisingly on a year-end “best of 2024” list. Surprisingly because it was so fun and beach-read-y. I liked the characters (Daphne and Miles and Miles‘ sister, Julia). The ode to libraries and books and small towns in Michigan! Couldn‘t put it down.

Daphne‘s fiancé left her for his childhood best friend, Petra. Daphne‘s new roommate ends up being Petra‘s ex-boyfriend. They devise a plan to make it look like they‘re dating through social media. What happens when the feeling start to feel real?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is my favorite Emily Henry so far. I was cute, funny, & a great balance of spice & story.

My mum gave me a fun, non-Covid respiratory virus that involves an enormous amount of coughing. All I wanna do is snuggle dogs, eat crunchy foods, and read books.

I was in totally the wrong mood for the YA SF novel I tried earlier, but this romcom‘s really working for me. Gonna spend a goodly chunk of time with it this evening. Maybe gonna have more hashbrowns topped with cheese and spicy mayo, too, because who cares about nutritional value.

Very sweet.

4✨ It took a while for this one to really grab me, but when it did, I didn‘t want to put it down. These roommates just got out of their long relationships for the same reason. Their ex‘s, who were just friends, decided they were going to get married instead! In the beginning it was just the roommates feeling sorry for themselves, but once the characters began to grow it made an interesting read. #HometownBC @Littlewolf1
