Josh + Hazel's Guide to Not Dating

Josh + Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren Genre Romance Star Rating ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️ Summary Just Friends. Just Friends. Just Friends. If they repeat it enough, maybe it'll be true. Hazel Camille Bradford knows she's a lot to handle -- and frankly, most men aren't up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don't send them running, her lack of filter means she'll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She's a good soul in search of honest fun. Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met -- when she gracelessly told him she "would be honored to give you sex tonight" -- to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post surgical haze. Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later and after a cheating girlfriend has turned his li...

Update and Love and Other Words Book Signing

Image
 Hi friends, it's been a while!  Life has been super hectic but it is finally my summer break which means more book reviews! However, I came on today to share a wonderful experience I got to participate in on May 5th! I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the amazing author duo, Christina Lauren. If you're following my  instagram  I shared images there that evening!  The book signing as well as the meet and greet was organized by the wonderful White Whale Bookstore located at 4754 West Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA and the event was held at the First Unitarian Church Pittsburgh. Each reader in attendance received a beautiful, signed special edition of their book Love and Other Words (review coming soo n!), as well as temporary tattoos and an art print done by  Rose Miller . See the images below and please ignore the formatting, it was the only way they would insert :) As an avid Christina Lauren reader, I am so excited to get to reread the first book I read...

  The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros Genre Romance, Historical Fiction Star Rating ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️ Summary Told in alternating timelines, The Things We Leave Unfinished examines the risks we take for love, the scars to deep to heal, and the endings we can't bring ourselves to see coming. Twenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton has to start over after she gave up almost everything in a brutal divorce -- the New York house, the friends, and her pride. Now back home at her late great-grandmother's estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He's just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she'll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he's the one to finish her grandmother's final novel...even if the publisher swears he's the perfect fit.  Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals ...
