Quinno Wuinno I hate it whenever it’s overly hyped and ends up mediocre in the end

Courtney I remember reading “A Lady for a Duke” by Alexis Hall and loving it so naturally I went to see what else she wrote. I couldn’t even finish Boyfriend Material, it was such a let down.

catherine!! yeah i enjoyed a lady for a duke and i'd heard good things about 10 things that never happened so i tried to give alexis hall another shot and i had to dnf 80 pages in. just not for me.

catherine!! OH and the house in the cerulean sea. white author writes a story inspired by residential schools where the allegorical indigenous people are seen as monsters and the final takeaway is that some residential schools are good actually!!

DV I couldn't get into Red White Royal Blue. The Harry typo that made it clear it was thinly disguised RPF turned me off. Love One Last Stop though.
