Queen B’s Decree: The Friendship Study gave me a lot of warm, fuzzy feelings. Even though I did cry at one point. Lulu and Jesse have an awkward blind date then unexpectedly meet up at a psychological study on the local college campus about the current generation having a hard time making friends. The rules […]
Queen B’s Decree: How to Dance features a hero that has cerebral palsy, and that is something I wanted to read about so much. After reading, I learned that the author himself incorporated his real-life experience into Nick, and that made it even more meaningful. Hayley and Nick have the opposite of a meet-cute, but […]
Queen B’s Decree: I thought that The Climb would be a cute YA friends-to-lovers story, but that’s not quite what we got. Noah and Zephyra have been best friends for years…but the whole time Noah has been pining for her. Zephyra has been *very* clear that she is not interested in him as anything other […]
Queen B’s Decree: Kruger is my new book boyfriend. I mean, what else do you need? I loved Whoa. It gave me hardcore nostalgic feels for Cambria’s #hashtag series. Kruger’s devotion, Jess’s work ethic and resilience, the Elite friend group that has become a family. There’s so much I loved about this book, and so […]
Queen B’s Decree: Yours to Catch is a light and funny friends-to-lovers romance, with a bit of a twist. Grace and Garrett are strangers that meet at Garrett’s bar, but Grace wants a relationship and romance and Garrett is a manwhore…so they decide to be friends instead. Their sexual tension was nice and spicy, and […]
Queen B’s Decree: Along Came Charlie was a very realistic portrayal of two people who meet, sparks fly but they both have some baggage, and instead decide to become friends first. The friendship between the two Charlies was my favorite part of the story; it felt so normal and real. Male Charlie was the best—he’d […]
Queen B’s Decree: When I saw this book mentioning Newsies, I couldn’t have clicked “request” any faster. I had to “seize the day.” We Could Be So Good is based in the 1950’s in NYC and stars Nick (the star reporter!) and the newspaper owner’s son, Andy. It was a bit of a slow start, […]
Queen B’s Decree: Good as Gold revisits my favorite small town in Vermont and the Rossi family. But…this one definitely had some second chance trope vibes. Matteo and Leila were best friends as teenagers but Matteo moved away as soon as possible and never really came back. Matteo comes back to his brother’s wedding after […]
Queen B’s Decree: Her Fixer Upper was cute and sweet and relatively predictable. Despite the predictability, it was still pretty enjoyable. Freya was a little neurotic and sometimes I found it hard to understand her reactions, but Charlie was a bit nonchalant for my tastes. But kudos to both of them, there is no way […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a retelling. Not Here to Stay Friends is a loose retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac, YA style. Sloane is visiting her best friend Liam for the summer, who she hasn’t seen in years, and sparks seem to fly upon their first re-meeting. But Liam got roped into working on a […]
