This is such an underrated book by Taylor Jenkins Reid and I'd love to see it get some more appreciation. Such a gripping tale of how memory and nostalgia faces up against reality in the present. You can have multiple great loves in a lifetime - but ...

Award-winning for a reason. Sci-Fi isn't my usual genre but goodness I'm so glad I picked this up. Originally recommened by Jack Edwards (he's never wrong). For such a short book this novella really packs a punch. The writing in this is so beautifull...

One of the most unique fantasy book series I've read so far! All of the characters are so loveable and the plot feels new and not overdone. Traditional portrayal of the magic and mystery of faerie. (Also a cheeky academic rivals to lovers trope which...

really intricately crafted fantasy quartet - personally loved the amount of world-building in this but be mindful that romance is not the forefront (at least until the last book - very slow burn). This is also originally written in French which I lov...

okay imagine this… you're sat by the pool, the sun is shining, get the picture? The only thing that makes that scene better is a good rom-com like this one. I will read anything Ali Hazelwood writes - she's truly cracked the code.

love how individual this is!! I’ve never read anything like it. It’s a blend of historical fiction (though intentionally inaccurate), the supernatural, humour, and it also plays with the boundaries of time. Love it!
