A gorgeously illustrated slam poem in three long sentences and 300+ moleskine journal pages about living in a pandemic in 2020. Gut wrenching and heart breaking and beautiful and frustrating and raw.

Steamy romance novel set against the backdrop of a cooking show where two contestants fall in love, one of whom is nonbinary. Excellent representation. It *is* a main plot point that they’re NB and not everyone is accepting, but they’re never deadnamed and the author censors any misgendering (“except [character] didn’t use they…”). It’s all handled well. And it’s a level 4.5 on the steam scale. Tons of tension, very good sex when it happens. Some misunderstandings but nothing too cringy.

This is a zombie story...or is it?
And Then I Woke Up is a terrifying story of truth and perception.
This gut-wrenching narrative throws you into the zombie apocalypse only to rip you back out again, forcing you to question everything as you’re filled with uncertainty about what’s really true. This story left my brain reeling and my heart racing. And Then I Woke Up is a stark, horrifying look at the world we live in today where “truth” and “reality” and “facts” are not the same for everyone, and there are dire consequences when we’re not on the same page. This apocalyptic tale will chill you to your very core.

A cute friends to lovers, fake dating romance. Nothing more than sexy kisses towards the end.

At no point in this book did I correctly assume what would happen next. What a ride. More dark than scary.

Steamy romance! A 5/5 on the steam scale for sure. This book is hot. And the characters ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE and I love it. No unfortunate misunderstandings! Everyone talks to each other and stops dumb mistakes before they happen! You love to see it.

Compulsively readable, full of delicious cliffhangers and multiple perspectives. At least one unreliable narrator. Fans of YOU might enjoy this psychological thriller.
