When I first read this book by Emily Henry, my first thought was, this NEEDS to be a movie! And my wish came true (a few years later 😂) I absolutely loved reading through this. If you’re looking for the perfect rom com, this is it!

My first Ali Hazelwood book I’ve read and I’m floored! Loved every page of this book! This was based in Italy too?! *Swoon* I loved the angsty tension and it was just the perfect romance book!

Talk about the perfect easy read beach novel! I devoured this book in one sitting. The characters are full of heart, funny, and vulnerable. This is in a Cape Cod setting, come on perfection!!!

This honestly reminded me of You’ve Got Mail! It’s such a cute rom-com book. It takes you back to the nineties where you’re cellphone free. And of course the nostalgia of being in NYC in that time period!

This is about two half sisters who are involved in a family drama who come together after their father’s death. I enjoyed reading this and was funny as well! The lake setting was very nice to read about and brought me back to my childhood growing up

I was so excited when this came out! I absolutely loved her first one. If you loved Rocky and her family on vacation on Cape Cod, you’ll enjoy them at home two years later! It’s just as hilarious as the first one.

There was a lot of talk about this book. It’s not for everyone, but I personally loved it. It’s very complex. It has a funny examination of loss, love and wrestling with the expectations in our lives. The character feel so real, a must read!

This was a fun lovers to enemies and back to lovers again book 😂 I loved Elle and Parker’s chemistry throughout the whole book! I loved how the author pays tribute to so many special NYC landmarks and experiences. Makes me miss NY a whole lot!
