Book Review: Happy Place by Emily Henry
It’s interesting how as you read more and more, you come to find yourself. Whether within the books or what you don’t like in books. Happy Place is an exes-to-lovers second-chance romance. And I’ve never particularly looked for either of those concepts in my romances, so I was intrigued if Henry could switch me one way, and her track record has been positive so far.
Book Review: How to Sell A Haunted House by Grady Hendrix
With How to Sell a Haunted House (HTSAHH), it started out slow. Laying the layers and foundations in a home, the coming and estrangements within the family, the avoidance of death, the birth of a new family member, until the sudden death of Louise’s parents. It’s even more sudden for Louise as her parents have been dead for days and her brother forgot to call her until the moment when he’s already made decisions and the move to have their parents cremated. Yet, it starts building this sense of wrongness.
Book Review: The Stand-In By Lily Chu
This has the ingredients for a feel good romance read. From a protagonist whose life is going down the gutter at every turn and has no other option but to take the ludicrous once-in-a-life offer. Gracie Reed is not having the best time at all—from her perverted boss to trying to secure a high-cost nursing home for her mother—when she’s wrongly recognized at her local bakery. When she’s recognized as the famous Chinese actress Wei Fangli it starts a chain of events. Soon, her perverted boss fires her, and Wei Fangli herself seeks her out to offer her to pose as her. Gracie will pretend to be Fangli, attend fancy events, and be spotted with her supposedly boyfriend, Sam Yao. Sam Yao who was just crowned as the sexiest man alive. Who would say no to that?
Book Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry
The best way to describe this book and what it is about is to tell it to you the way it begins. Have you ever watched a Lifetime movie? The one where you have this shark of a lawyer (or you can just insert any occupation here, but we all know they tend to be lawyers) and they haven’t been back to their hometown or they take a trip to a small town, leaving behind their significant other in the city. There is this gorgeous/hot person that works at the local hometown shop (could be a bakery, ranch, store). But, this lawyer went there to close down this hometown shop, only to find themselves falling for the person and the town. Obviously, there’s this quick interlude where the lawyer goes back to the city and finds themselves not at home anymore, and the significant other is just too shallow for them, so a breakup happens. And the movie ends with the lawyer staying in the town with the hot/gorgeous local.
