Are We All Lemmings and Snowflakes short review

I love a good Holly Bourne book and this one didn't disappoint. It was really interesting and had me thinking about things in a way I hadn't before, which is always a good thing and something I can count on Holly Bourne for. I don't think this is my favourite Holly Bourne book but there were some pages that mean a lot to me and made me feel seen in ways I hadn't felt seen before.

There were a lot of interesting things discussed in this book and it really did make me think and I think what Dr Jones says to Olive at the end of the book is what I agree with most. A book getting you to think is always a good thing especially when it covers a topic like this one. Holly Bourne's writing and the way she tackles topics is one of the things I like most about her books and the way she writes everything to be so true and encompass exactly how her characters and people in that situation feel.

The characters in this were all fully fleshed and I love how they grew to support eachother and how close they were by the end of the book. I do wonder what happened to them all by after the book ended and they left Camp Reset.

Overall a very enjoyable book that got me thinking and I recommend. Not my favourite Holly Bourne, that's definitely The Yearbook but I know people who it is the favourite of and I did still really love it.

The Christmas Book Club book review

I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

The Off-Limits Rule book review

I discovered Sarah Adams in early 2024 after it was recommended to me on Bookstagram and while she wasn’t originally an author I was sure about, however as I read more from her I fell in love with her books and she definitely became a favourite auto-buy author. My last traditionally published backlist series I had to read going into 2025 was It Happens in Nashville duology, the first book being The Off-Limits Rule. The Off-Limits Rule follows Lucy who has moved her and her son back in with her brother who has made it clear that his best friend, Cooper, is off-limits to her however Lucy has gotten a different impression of Cooper to what Drew has told her about him and maybe it’s okay to break the rule sometimes, right? As soon as I started this book I was reminded of exactly why I love Sarah Adams books so much. I was invested in Lucy’s character and hooked by the story. I enjoyed all of the characters and found it to be a book that I could not put down. The romance w...

My Kind of Trouble book review

I found myself enjoying this read however the more I think about the more that I'm sure that there were things I think could have worked better for me and I find a 3/3.5 star rating is the right place to sit with my thoughts. I really enjoyed reading about the characters and seeing what they were going to do along with watching their romance develop as the story went on. I don't think I've really read anything like this before in a really positive way and there were so many scenes I had a great time reading but there were also parts that I wasn't so taken by and definitely wished had been done differently, and found to be sat in the middle of two different directions I would potentially have enjoyed more. I thought the con part would be good fun but in many ways I found that it and the romance were competing for page space with neither really winning. The parts of the con that we saw definitely weren't the parts that interested me and I would have either liked a...
