"Sometimes this city is magic."

Welcome to the book with the most awkward (and best) meet-cute ever. Franny Doyle just got laid off of her interior design job at Spayce, and is rushing through the subway to get on the Q. She makes it! ...Mostly. Her dress gets caught in the doors and she ends up showing her backside to a little too much of Manhattan. Luckily, Hayes Montgomery III isn't glued to his phone in the subway car and offers her his suit jacket for some coverage on the way home. An onlooker records the whole ordeal and Franny and Hayes become known as #SubwayQTs,

In a New York Minute was a really fun read and love letter to NYC. I absolutely adore how awkward and clumsy Franny is (super relatable), and wish I knew her BFF squad of Cleo and Lola personally. Hayes is also sweet and a litlte awkward, and his cousin and coworkers made great support on his side. Franny and Hayes had a great connection that went deeper than just a romantic spark, and it was great to see the frienship connection develop there, too. The only thing I didn't love was the storyline at the end (won't get into it because of spoilers) because I didn't find that last twist necessary. BUT overall, super cute, light, wonderful read and definitely recommend it.

"So let's all raise a glass to love, as messy and imperfect as it can be."

If you went to college around 2002, read this. It’ll make you laugh! After life throws a few curveballs (job loss, her boyfriend deciding not to propose), Alexis is transported back to her college years, circa 2002, and meets up with her past self “Lexi” (because it’s sexier, duh) for a chance at a do-over.

“I think that too often, women take pieces of themselves they have no reason to hate, and they carry those pieces around like failures. If enough women stopped apologizing, then maybe there’d be less of an expectation for us to always burn bright and stand still. Maybe our complications would become our backbones instead of our scarlet letters.“

Bad Luck Bridesmaid was not the light, fluffy rom com that I was expecting with this cover. In addition to being super fun with mishaps, romance, adventures, and a friend’s wedding in Ireland, it went deep!

This was an incredibly addictive book… much like the main character, Zoey’s, personality, this book was complicated, unpredictable, a little bit chaotic, and open to an unknown future. It had me laughing, cringing, and of course rooting for Zoey and Rylan’s relationship.

As for the ending….!!! It was perfect for her personality. I saw it coming. I was still upset.

“The beer flows. The conversation flows. And I have no idea how to turn off the tap of feelings I have for this man.”

Oh my goodness. This was exactly the romance read I needed in 2022. Perfectly sweet, captivating, and gratifying, I lost myself in Kelleys Island, Ohio for a day. After reading Float Plan, I had high hopes for The Suite Spot, and Rachel and Mason’s story exceeded my expectations. They are a perfect fit, and I loved the cabin/taproom setting, fun community of Kelleys island, and the hard situations they had to overcome in life to find each other and their true home. Trish Doller has such a special way of writing romances that seem so “normal” and real - not too fanciful - but just right, so that readers can connect with a true, imperfect love story.

I was actually born outside of Cleveland and have been to Cedar’s Point and Sandusky, so it was fun to recognize the places mentioned in this story. I really appreciated this low-key setting after Anna and Keane sailed off in tropical paradise in book one.

In this book we get…
