This book is a delicious disaster. For every one of us that sees that drama on Book Twitter, Booktok, Instagram etc and can’t look away. It is a brilliant train wreck.

It was silly in some parts but took almost halfway to get interesting for me. I don’t know how to feel about it overall. Not a romance just an FYI.

This was a cute little fake dating rom com. A little slow in some parts but the ending was very satisfying. I enjoyed it.

Moderate: Transphobia
Knockout by Sarah MacLean
I was absolutely grinning like an idiot the entire time I was reading this book. I am a fool for Imogen and Tommy. Sarah MacLean’s writing is a master class in romance and I want to be able to read this book for the first time again. She brilliantly weaved together their story so well, that I was hanging on their every word. Tommy fell for Imogen in the best way possible. This is a story for every woman that has been told they were too much and the brilliant people that fall for them.

I think what struck me so much in this book is the vulnerability that both of our main characters have and how this was really their story of finding comfort in each other. Sophie Jordan writes deliciously fun and bonkers historical romance and I have been loving the continuation of this series with “The Duke Starts a Scandal”. The push and pull between Lucian and Susanna is delicious and I am so happy to see their story unfold in this book. A must read for any historical romance lover!
