Book Review: Band Sinister by K.J. Charles
It is a truth universally acknowledged that K.J. Charles absolutely slays at writing quality relationships and sex. The key to this all being that she nails the concept of consent. Every. Single. Time. Asking permission is sexy AF and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise. Everything Charles’ characters do to one another is done with trust and explicit assurances of pleasure. It’s honestly incredible. It also completely tramples the notion that such things did not exist in the past. Because, believe it or not, there was consensual sex happening during the Regency Period. 🤯
Book Review: You’ve Reached Sam by Dustin Thao
Whoa… This book is a treasure from SO many different angles. Loss is a messy process. Watching Julie sabotage herself with a deep and desperate sadness that bordered on frustrating for me as a reader, was honestly a brilliant move by Thao. You’ve Reached Sam will speak to anyone that has had to say goodbye to a loved one or, honestly, anyone that has watched someone else have to do the same.
Book Review: The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey
Sarah Gailey, you absolute genius. Thinking of starting my own film studio over here because there is zero chance of this book not being optioned for a screen adaptation. It is that gosh darn original. 💍💍💍💍 Four stars as rated in wedding rings worn until death do us part, do us part, do us part, do us part…

But when Nina’s remains are discovered only a short distance from her home, everything changes.

Book Review: The Roommate by Rosie Danan
Clara Wheaton has never made an impulsive decision in her life. That is, before she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a guy she’d been in love with for 14 years. When he suddenly bails to pursue a burgeoning music career, Clara is left to navigate her new life in an unfamiliar city completely alone. Well, almost completely alone. There is also that very charming and super attractive new roommate of hers named Josh who has sex for a living…
