Glorious Day by Skye Kilaen

A lot happened in this novella. I experienced a range of emotions such as concern, sadness, and joy throughout the read.
A Love that Leads to Home by Ronica Black
Is it a good thing that I tend to love toaster-oven romance more than most other tropes? A story where at least one party is figuring out their sexuality almost always focuses more on the development of the relationship, and I love an extremely slow-burn book where both characters try to understand what they are feeling for each other. Reading toaster-oven romances is often like experiencing falling in love all over again, and Black’s A Love that Leads to Home is one of those beautiful works.
Serenity by Jesse J. Thoma
TW: drug abuse.
This is an amazing book. I don’t rate books outside integers, but this one is a high-four for me.
Hopeless Romantic by Georgia Beers
This is the epitome of opposites-attract romance with conflictive characters. And I don’t just mean that they are different. Their individual existences are also ironically contradictory.
Hopes and Dreams by PJ Trebelhorn
I am extremely conflicted about this book. The overall idea of Hopes and Dreams was great, and both Riley and Vic have believable insecurities and are really relatable. I also root for the pair, but I feel like something was missing in the story and that made it hard for me to feel at ease with their relationship.
