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 […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ll take a kidnapping for 200, Alex. Gideon is a drug lord, but he still has his code of loyalty, so he promises to watch out for a dead friend’s sister. The moment he sees Sasha, he gets a tiny bit obsessed. And I don’t blame him. Sasha was fantastic: strong-willed, hardworking, […]
Queen B’s Decree: I do love a great meet cute and Lunar Love had an adorable one. There’s a bit of an enemies-to-lovers feel going on, as Olivia is taking over her family’s Chinese zodiac Matchmaking company while Bennett is launching a dating app inspired by the zodiac. But Bennett never really feels like an […]
Queen B’s Decree: The thing I loved best about Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail was Astrid Parker. She’s flawed, falling apart, and oh so emotionally damaged. When she has her “not so meet-cute” with Jordan, I was 100% on her side. I mean, if someone had spilled coffee on my expensive white dress, I’d be expecting […]
Queen B’s Decree: A holiday themed romance featuring a cat cafe? It’s like this book was written for me. And yet, I was dissatisfied by the end. Kara and Ben have a little frenemy meet cute, and even though both are kind of awkward, their banter was fun and they seemed to eventually become real friends. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a good enemies-to-lovers, so Enemies with Benefits seemed right up my alley. Ben’s teenage behavior almost bordered on bullying for me. But once they reunited as adults, they were both equally enemies. Lots of pranks here! I did feel the chemistry between them. I enjoyed the flashbacks and seeing Ben’s […]
