Kaye Rockwell’s debut shook me to my core in all the right ways. Glad You Exist is a young adult contemporary romance and while it tackles all of the teenage woes of being in love with your best friend, dealing with friendships and straddling the line of being a good daughter and a good friend; this book also tackles some really heavy topics.
I always told myself that I didn’t enjoy the really slow burn romances, but there’s something about the way B. Celeste writes that complete captivates me.
A part of me is still reeling from how great this book was! I feel over the course of the first four books—and the two novellas—I’ve never really given Fisher Greene much thought, but he’s always been there in the background as the sheriff of Sunrise Bay and as a brooding member of the Greene family, but seeing him in this book made me love him so much.
Natasha Bishop, you have ruined me. I mean, you ruined me with your debut, but I honestly thought that Lincoln was the swooniest hero ever and then you went and gave us Isaiah and can I just say…it’s not fair that he isn’t real, because I would like a piece of that. But let’s not forget the brilliance and awesomeness of Nina, because she was the strongest, most powerful and beautiful woman ever.
I’m always so wary of surprise pregnancies and how they’ll be handled by the two characters when thrust into that situation, but I was pleasantly surprised by how it all worked out.
If you know me at all, then you know that I will read every single Kandi Steiner book on the planet because I’m a big fan. And when she announced the Bayside Heroes series with three other amazing authors, I jumped at the chance to read an ARC of the first book.
I have laughed, swooned, sniffled a little and just had a really good time while reading The Fake Santa Apology Tour. From the concept, to the writing style and the brilliant characters, Julie Olivia has me hooked!
If you know me even a little, you know that I love Jenny Bunting and her stories, so it will come as no surprise that I loved Fool’s Gold, the first in a new series featuring a family in a small town. And if that’s not enough, we get to meet some familiar faces from previous books and altogether, it just made me really happy.
Oh man, this book! This is my first venture into Liz Crowe’s fictional world and one thing I can tell you right now is that I love how she writes her stories. What Happens in Denver is rooted in so much honesty and the characters are so real that once you start reading, you’re sucked deep into their lives.
Just when you think Chloe Liese has written the best characters of all time, she introduces you to Axel Bergman and Rooney Sullivan. And then every other character you’ve ever read starts to pale in comparison.
