I loved this one. The characters were so well written and that surprise at the end will have you gasping.

I love Emma Lord‘s books, she‘s definitely an auto read for me. And the fun thing is now my 16 year old loves them too, so we can share. This one was an also set in New York City, poignant and meaningful and a mixture of happy and sad. Probably not my most favorite of hers but still a really great read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Read this regency romcom for book club and it was cute! I really liked the strong characterization in the beginning, and the plot was fun and silly, but other than that it didn‘t do a whole lot for me. Some language/perspectives seemed a bit too modern for the time period, and it got a little too meta with the tropes in places (like one character saying out loud “we‘re like a found family!”) I could be persuaded to read the next book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

#Fairyloot special edition sequel of a fun book. I also enjoyed this story. Different but just as good. Cozyish. Can‘t wait for book 3.

1. Earls Trip, which I read with #LittendLoveRomance , was just plain fun!

2. Paper books in theory, audiobooks in practice because I can “read” them while driving, cleaning, etc.

3. Historical Fiction.

I loved the first book in the series and was disappointed by this second book. There‘s no sense of urgency, no heated banter, and goddess knows I hate anything that even hints of a love triangle. Hate. It. Plus, the general plot was completely ridiculous, even for a cozy-ish fantasy. I‘m not sure if I‘ll bother with the third book when it releases next year, although I‘d like to learn more of Rosie, so maybe.

I love Zapata and will read every book she writes. That said, this is not her best work. I liked it, but it didn't have that extra special spark that I have come to expect from her. It is in the 3.5 to 4 ⭐️ range for me.

A love a visit back into this weird and sweet world, and the friends to lovers romance between Twyla and Frank was just so wonderful!
