Queen B’s Decree: The Perfect Guy Doesn’t Exist starts out pretty cute and funny. Ivy had a break-up with her best friend/crush last year, and has been deeply into her fandom. Her favorite show is H-MAD, a show about magical teenagers, and she’s been writing fan fiction. One night after her parents are gone on […]
Queen B’s Decree: Love Under the Microscope really felt like a traditional rom com, with Zelda and Parker on opposing sides, but coming together for a common goal. It was filled with witty banter and zany and ridiculous situations. Did I find it funny and humorous? Yes. Did it feel over the top and that […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love when a Hero tries to be all evil and mean and just can’t help himself and does sweet things for his prisoner/captive. Ves is a bad ass witch that claims she could kill everyone in the castle (post-capture, of course), but she is secretly a marshmallow. The Feral King has […]
Queen B’s Decree: I couldn’t put this one down; I couldn’t stop gushing about it to my friends. The set-up is slightly complicated: Athena is engaged to Johnny. Athena meets Johnny’s older brother, Matthew, for the first time at their engagement party—which leads to a “moment.” Fast forward and Johnny dumps Athena a week before […]
Queen B’s Decree: Poppy and Ethan had some history, with some mutual sniping when they were “rivals” in high school. After the downfall of Poppy’s family, her and Ethan meet up in college later after she gets a scholarship. And sparks fly immediately. I liked the interaction between Poppy and Ethan. It was less enemies […]
Queen B’s Decree: Arya Khanna’s was a really enjoyable coming of age story (with a sweet romance too!). I loved that this was more than a YA romance story. Arya’s family was actually pretty complex; her mother struggling with depression, her sweet but emotionally absent father, her estranged sister. And then Arya, feeling the pressure […]
Queen B’s Decree: Never Met a Duke Like You is a play on Clueless, or more accurately, Emma. Vesper and Aspen (which don’t feel like historical names, frankly) were childhood friends that had a big falling out but haven’t seen each other in years. Aspen was hard for me to like. I can appreciate his […]
Queen B’s Decree: Fantasy isn’t my usual thing, but when a close friend gushed about Fourth Wing, I paid attention. So when it popped up on my Libby app, I chose to listen. And damn, son…was I obsessed. Needless to say, I’ve already pre-ordered the next in the series. OBSESSED. Book: Fourth Wing by Rebecca […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m just gonna say it. Love, Theoretically is suspiciously familiar to Ali Hazelwood’s previous books. Enemies-to-lovers, academic rivals, extremely quirky nerd girl. The author’s found something that works and doesn’t deviate…I guess. Regardless, I still enjoyed this one. As a woman in STEM, I am always happy to see more female characters […]
Queen B’s Decree: You’ve Got Mail is my favorite RomCom movie of all time. So it’s no surprise that I love books with the same theme. Meant For Me hooked me from the start. Enid inherits both a broken down house and bookstore from the grandmother she never knew, but is surprised to find out […]
