No surprise my re read was a 5⭐️ just in time for Rebel Witch to come out 

This story was absolutely heartwarming! I heard it was inspired by Sleepless in Seattle, a 90s classic. I remember watching it as a kid, but honestly, it didn’t leave much of an impression back then. It took me a couple of chapters to really get hooked, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down. Aiden, who hosts a radio show about love and has clearly lost his own faith in it. Then Lucie enters the picture, a woman whose daughter believes she deserves to find her own happily-ever-after. It’s so sweet how the whole city of Baltimore seemed to be rooting for Lucie to find her love. I absolutely adored Aiden and his lines 😍 He was just too cute. And can we take a moment to appreciate the side characters? They really added so much charm to the story.

I loved this story! After enjoying Only the Beautiful, I couldn’t wait to dive into her backlist, and I finished this book in less than 24 hours. Sophie answers an ad for a bride and a caretaker for a man’s young daughter, even though she knows nothing about him. It’s a story full of secrets, motherhood, relationships, courage and found family—basically everything you could want. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, especially with that epilogue and the book title😭

This book was a pleasant surprise since it’s not a genre I usually go for — romance with suspense? Count me in! The story follows Ridley, whose twin disappeared, and now she’s traveling across the country solving cold cases for her true crime podcast. She ends up in a small town, working on a case that seems to hit too close to home, and as she digs deeper, strange things start happening. I enjoyed the suspense - I was accusing everyone. The romance was an unexpected bonus, and I was totally there for it. Something about it kept me from giving it a full 5⭐️, but I’m definitely curious to check out more of her backlist!

Loved this book! Third book I have read by this author and definitely my favorite by her so far. This was such an emotional read. It reminded me of Beartown in many ways. It was about grief, forgiveness, family and love. I was reading it on the plane and tears were streaming down my face, don’t recommend in public 😂

Oh, this book was so cute! Lenny is struggling after losing her best friend and finds it hard to move on. But when she meets Miles while helping a single mom and her daughter, Ainsley, he offers to help Lenny complete her "live again" list in exchange for her help connecting with Ainsley. It was a bittersweet journey—sad at times, but also heartwarming and filled with moments that made me smile. And I have to say, I absolutely loved Miles.
