The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant
5.0
The beginning was really attention grabbing then the story just kept getting more grabbing.
The way it went through her life and how she started her marriage and kept her passions at bay.
It was pretty slow pace, but not enough to be boring.

We Should Not Be Friends: The Story of a Friendship by Will Schwalbe
4.75
I found this book really inspiring. I feel like I’ve always struggled with friends but it made me think of the friendships that I’ve had for years.
It made me reflect a lot on how I can make my friends feel loved, having my closest friendship being over 20 years, one 6 and the newest 3.
Definitely send love to those friends

What Belongs to You by Garth Greenwell
4.5
Honestly this didn’t feel like a fiction novel at all. I got lost in the story, wanting to know everything about his experience.
Some of it was kind of depressing but overall it was so interesting

Die For You by Max Walker
2.5
I read all three and to be completely honest I’d rate it as second was the best, then the first and this was the last.
On the mystery side it goes with what threw me off. The first was a cute mystery. Not super depressing at all, cute fluff with good spice. The second had a whole new mystery that I was all expecting someone completely different. Then this one.
I liked how they gave the same characters and friend group, but it just felt like the author kind of didn’t know what they were going for? It was so predictable from the beginning it made me think how the hell is this well trained body guard not picking up on this. The villain has almost the same exact depressing backstory that led them to do the same. There was a few parts that were giving me second hand embarrassment. So not the best, but if you read the first two you might as well read this one.

Theme Music by T. Marie Vandelly

This was so good! There wasn’t any slow movement in the book, they dropped so many hints and clues of it could be this person, or this. It makes you think.
I thought she was going absolutely insane for a while and with dad dead. The only sad part is she didn’t get to have her family. But a happy ending.

Cute! I liked it more than the first, the first had good plot and characters but Eric was one of my favorite in the first book so him getting his own spin was really nice!
I didn’t expect the little twist too. I thought it was someone different

Nothing beats fantasy lesbians running away to start their own bookshop together.

It was a really cute short read! Spicy scenes were very spicy and enough to get me jealous about how impossibly good they have it.
Overall a feel good read about some gays!

You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian

It was a cute story all together, a queer romance in the 60s
I didn’t really enjoy Marks character though, and he was the main love interest. Eddie was okay too, but also wasn’t my favorite. The story was cute though and I do love baseball. Id recommend but wouldn’t read again.
