TWEET CUTE by Emma Lord

November 5, 2020

Book cover & 4.5-star rating - Tweet Cute by Emma LordTweet Cute was so much more relatable than I had anticipated. Based off the title alone, I probably wouldn’t have picked up the audiobook. But I did remember enjoying Open Road Summer years ago, not realising that Emma Lord wasn’t Emery Lord. Oops. ‘Twas a good mix-up though because I really enjoyed Tweet Cute.

WHAT IF IT’S US by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera

March 22, 2019

Book cover & and 4-star rating for WHAT IF ITS US by Becky Albertalli and Adam SilveraBelieve it or not, there was a time that I loved cute romance books and adored books with meet cutes. As I hit my twenties though, I suppose I became somewhat jaded. I hardly reached for these books anymore, and when I did, I didn’t enjoy them anywhere near as much as before. Then along came What If It’s Us. I couldn’t stop smiling while reading it!

THE TWELVE DAYS OF DASH AND LILY by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan

December 22, 2016

Book cover & rating -THE TWELVE DAYS OF DASH AND LILY by Rachel Cohn & David LevithanThis book does not live up to the preceding Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares. I’ve listened to the audiobook, and reread the paperback. I’m sure I’ll reread it again in future. The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily, however, is a book I most likely won’t revisit. It’s neither quirky nor charming — the very reasons I enjoy Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares. These elements went completely missing in this long-awaited sequel.

COUNTING STARS by Keris Stainton

January 19, 2016

Book cover & rating - COUNTING STARS by Keris StaintonBooks set in university that aren’t entirely pre-occupied with romance are surprisingly tough to find. During my own undergraduate studies I wished for so many more but had to make do with books set in high school. Maybe “make do” sounds like I didn’t enjoy those books but I did. It’s just that the university setting tends to be rather neglected. That’s why I was pretty excited to learn that Counting Stars featured university students.
