“ I have a theory, hating someone feels disturbingly similar to being in love with them “

The Hating Game 💙💛💙💛 Sally Thorne’s breakout novel instantly became one of my faves! I was late to the game on this one, only just reading it over my holidays last month, but I’m so glad I found it. The characters are so developed and the office antics between lovable Lucy (aka Shortcake) and harsh Josh are hilarious. I love a good build up and Sally Thorne delivers. 9.5/10 💙💛

Roomies by @christinalauren ☘️ Calvin, an Irish musician in NYC, somehow ends up in a marriage of convenience with Holland, a nice girl who doesn’t seem to see herself very clearly. She marries him as a favour to her uncle (but slightly for herself since he’s a dreamboat) at first they’re pretending and soon enough all the feels come in. Having an Irish boyfriend I can say that the sayings and pronunciation were pretty accurate, though he’s never called me ‘mo stoirin’. ☘️☘️☘️

8/10. Some sexy scenes and hilarious situations involving public indecency.

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover 💧

Colleen Hoover proves herself yet again to be an incredible romance writer. This book was recommended to me by a friend and it was well worth the read, but I was surprised by the heartbreaking half of the storyline. What starts as a “friends with benefits” scenario turns ugly when feelings are eventually involved (obviously), but there is a sad twist that was hard not to think about days after reading.

8/10 💙💧

99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne. One of the best romantic comedies I’ve read in a while! This may be an unpopular opinion: I didn’t think it was possible but this book is just as good if not better than her first The Hating Game.

💛💛💛💛

9/10 would recommend. Tom Valeska is so lovable, where Darcy is sharp and funny and the build up from childhood friends to something more is perfectly painstaking.
