I didn‘t mean to read this. I mean, I did *eventually*…but it was sitting in my stack the other night when I was really tired & I didn‘t think my brain could handle anything else. So, it got bumped up!

I‘ve been reading a lot of romance lately, in an attempt to recover from all the horror I read at the beginning of the month. 🙈 This was one of the better ones! Tender & sexy, with incredibly moving side relationships (father-son, & two sisters).

monalyisha *Note: I did not need the sprinkling of Taylor Swift references. But that‘s a me problem. 🫣 1mo
TheBookHippie @monalyisha it‘d be a me problem too. I am not a fan. 🤣 1mo

TheBookHippie @monalyisha I‘m okay with that. 1mo
monalyisha @TheBookHippie On the other hand, have you heard Fiona Apple‘s newest single (released this past May)? It‘s “a protest anthem against the cash bail system and pretrial detention, inspired by her years volunteering as a court watcher, focusing on the experiences of mothers who are incarcerated because they cannot afford bail.” That‘s the kind of artist who I wish had her level of fandom, power, & influence. 💘 (edited) 1mo
monalyisha @TheBookHippie Musically, I gave Folklore a shot. It wasn‘t for me. 1mo
TheBookHippie @monalyisha I adore her and yes. 1mo
DGRachel @monalyisha @TheBookHippie I am right there with you in the TS not-a-fan club. I‘m going to go look for the Fiona Apple single now. 1mo
monalyisha @DGRachel It‘s not my favorite of hers or anything but WOW, what a powerhouse, you know? 💪🏻 1mo
Laughterhp Ugh, I have this book on my tbr pile. Hopefully they aren‘t too bad throughout the book! 1mo
monalyisha @Laughterjp They‘re not overwhelming. I‘m just a grump. 😝 1mo

I absolutely loved the premise and the banter but the descriptive love scenes were too much and took away from the way the characters really worked well together and made it all about their physical connection and downplayed their character and relationship development that was well written.

This was a wonderfully fun rom com. I appreciated that while it made fun of the tropes in the genre, it did not resort to the typical 'misunderstanding' conflict towards the end. The characters lives were realistically complicated, with the complexities of family responsibilities well represented. In addition, the Alaska setting was a treat. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital advance reading copy. 4/5 stars

I am late in reviewing this April ARC. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing it. In a rather hectic month, this provided the steam, heart, and laughs one always loves in their rom com. It also proved grumpy characters don‘t need to be jerks.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Want your next favorite rom com? This is your girl! It has an amazing Alaskan setting, sizzling chemistry, and allllll the feels! I‘ll admit Margot‘s attitude was a little off-putting at first, but of course she has soft layers under her prickly armor. The lightheartedness was balanced out by real emotion, and I was just as moved by the familial storylines as the romantic love. #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub

BookBelle84 I loved this one! 8mo
ICantImReading @BookBelle84 I saw your review and I agree that I will look forward to reading whatever she writes next! 🥰 8mo

I can't remember the last romance I enjoyed as much as this one. This was so much fun! I loved how the author played into all the tropes. The author was unapologetic with this cute couple in Alaska and their adventures. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

What a cute romcom! A quick & genuinely funny read—it opens with romance writer Margot‘s public humiliation between exposure of her granny panties, but also her secret Happily Never After file, detailing unhappy alternate endings to her popular books. Longtime caregiver for her younger sister, Margot‘s resistant to her sister‘s plan for Margot to spend 6 weeks in Alaska at a remote lodge. From the get-go, Margot‘s dropped into an array of tropes!
