Tilly in Technicolor book review

Why did it take me so long to read this? I loved it and it brought a great reading experience with it.

Tilly in Technicolor is Mazey Edding’s YA debut that follows two neurodivergent teens who are travelling around Europe and fall for each other as doing so.

I had a great time following Tilly and Oliver across Europe, seeing how they see the world and their relationship develop. These two neurodivergent characters brought me so much joy and I would just keep reading about them for books and books. It was great to see both of these characters grow throughout the story and see who they were at the end of the book compared to the start of the book.

I also really liked travelling through Europe with these characters and seeing how they struggled with the environments around them, and the descriptions of those moments were really well done and it truly did seem like Mazey knew what she was talking about and understood what it feels like to be in these situations.

While I didn’t love all the relationships all the way through I did like seeing them develop and see the point they were at by the end of the story and how much the characters had done what they needed to do even if it wasn’t always easy.

I cannot wait to read more from Mazey Eddings who I have wanted to read for a while and now want to read so much more from. This was an easy 4.75 star read that I really recommend and need to get my hands on a physical copy of.

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...
