⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars

I’m not exaggerating when I tell you all that this book is definitely one of the most BEAUTIFUL stories I’ve ever read.

Pack Up the Moon is a story about love and loss. It follows Lauren and Josh (plus their puppy, some friends, and some family) after Lauren is diagnosed with a severe lung disease. Told in a dual timeline/mixed media style the story focuses on Josh after her death, but we get to see their relationship because Lauren has left Josh letters to read. One a month, to help him grieve, to remind him he’s not alone, and to help him eventually move on.

The letters help Josh get through a lot of the “firsts” that he has to experience after her passing. And while a lot of these firsts aren’t easy, even with the letters and the support system that Lauren reminds him to use, they kind of help soften the blow because Josh is able to still feel like Lauren is with him even though she isn’t there physically.

The letters also challenge Josh to step out of his comfort zone, and without giving any of those challenges away I think it says so much about the love they had for each other that Josh follows through with the challenges even though Lauren isn’t there to actually hold him accountable. (Also says so much because Lauren knew exactly what he would need for that first year

THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN.

Very Sincerely Yours is a perfect rom com style book. It has laugh-out-loud moments, character growth, and drama that feels real instead of the fabricated over the top nonsense that is sometimes sprinkled into a book like this.

The characters and their development just feel so real and refreshing. Their conflict and resolution comes naturally.


I just really loved this one!!


This was super fun.

I've been struggling to find the right period-piece romance to fill the bridgerton shaped whole in my chest but this one came pretty close!

RTC, maybe.

Fast paced and keeps you pulled in from the start but I found this to be relatively predictable from 60% on.

I liked the short chapters and the changing POVs. The story itself was pretty interesting too, I just saw most of it coming and then the part that should have felt like a plot twist just kind of fell short for me.

It was a fun read tho, I'd recommend it to anyone who likes thrillers or who wants to give a thriller a try.

The Wedding Date series is one that pulled me into my love of romance books. I always have so much fun reading these and I’m happy to say that this one does not disappoint. It was fun, flirty and HOT (possibly more so than her previous books, I’m not complaining but it’s probably good for some of you to know this).

As always I absolutely fell in love with the characters and their story. I felt like Ben and Anna were both so sweet and perfect for each other. The way their relationship plays out, and the way they grow individually just felt so organic.

I think this is my favorite in the series, I loved the romance, the characters and I also loved the little shout outs to all the body positivity and mental health awareness.
