Romance

Adam is so hot. The almost-friends-almost-enimies to lovers trope is one of my favorites, and the buildup for this book was great. The spicy scene did feel kind of unnecessary though.
The Love Hypothesis Paperback - Hazelwood, Ali

So bittersweet and so incredible. Humanizes cancer patients and keeps you hooked with the cute romance before crushing your soul. I felt so many emotions and have never cried so much after any ending. I would reread it OVER AND OVER. Also watch the m...

MUST READ for anyone queer. The sapphic romance was very cute and well portrayed. This book has such a strong connotation to a specific time in my life that was

I listened to this as an audiobook on a road trip with my sister and we BAWLED OUR EYES OUT. It was such an emotional rollercoaster. I think this book has a lot of flaws and looking back I cringe remembering specific plot lines, but I regard it highl...
Ugly Love: A Novel Paperback - Hoover, Colleen

Cutest book ever but gut-wrenching at times, I loved the character development and the way the characters, as corny as it sounds, follow their dreams and stay true to themselves. Iwan could do anything he wanted to me btw.

GODDDDDDDD. This book. I read it in a day and I've reread it about 3000 times since. The characters are so complex and the childhood friends-to-lovers trope will never not have me on my knees.

Romance Sub-plot

Honestly, this was definitely a cover-buy for me, but the book was awesome. Another super fast-paced mystery/romance to fuel my addiction. Admittedly, the end was kind of anticlimactic but I have no other complaints. I won't be recommending the secon...
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder - BookTrust

If you love a fast-paced mystery, this is FOR YOU. There's also a love triangle, which I'll admit isn't my favorite trope, but this one was well-written and I liked the love interests. The main character Avery has… kind of no personality, but I'll le...
The Inheritance Games, 1 - Hardcover

This series had me in a CHOKEHOLD for months. I flew through all of the books and I specifically remember liking Ignite Me the most (very romance heavy). I have a parasocial relationship with Aaron Warner and I won't apologize for it. He is my man. E...

I read this a year ago so I can't give you a full description, therefore take this with a grain of salt. The beginning was slow but as the end neared I started FLYING through the book. I could never have guessed the ending. Overall this was a good th...
