ARC Review: The Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren

I received this ARC on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review (THANKS!)

Rating: 5 Stars

I was over the moon when I got the ARC for this book. I devour every Christina Lauren book I can get my hands on and when I heard this book is about people who work for a home renovation show, I jumped on this ARC so fast.

I loved both the main characters and watching them fall for each other while also managing their respective difficult bosses was super fun. They are trying to manage a PR nightmare (a famous couple who want to break up when their brand is their love life) while on a book tour. I liked seeing the disability rep in Carey's character, who has a disability involving pain in her hands and witnessing her character arc in the story was inspiring. I also liked James, who is doing a job he is overqualified for (which is #relatable for a lot of millennials).

If you loved the Netflix movie Set It Up as much as I do, you will love The Honey-Don't List. If you are an obsessive watcher of those home reno shows, you will definitely love this book. Honestly, this is one of my new favourite Christina Lauren books so I would highly recommend if you love their work already or are just looking for something fun. This is the rom-com you need in 2020.

Favourite YA Historical Fiction Novels (as of August 2017)

I feel like Historical YA fiction is kind of an underrated genre. YA Dystopian novels used to be huge back in the Hunger Games craze and now YA Fantasy and YA contemporary Romances are popular. A lot of the Historical YA books can run a little young sometimes but here's some of my favourites.

Novella Review: Death and Night by Roshani Chokshi

I received a copy of this novella on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. (Thank you!) Rating: 3.5 stars. The fact that this author made me feel all the feels and laugh in a 100 page novella tells a lot about how awesome Roshani Chokshi is. This novella is about Maya and Amar, the main characters of The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi . In this novella, they are known as Night and Death. It describes how they first fell in love and gives you a bit of background about the characters featured in The Star-Touched Queen . I absolutely loved the dialogue! It was either very witty or very romantic but all in all, it was freaking beautiful. The only reason I didn't absolute love this novella is that there were some pretty confusing parts. Night is both a person and a state of being. Sometimes the descriptions of what Night was doing were really difficult to wrap my head around. If you loved either A Crown of Wis...

ARC Review: Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian

Rating: 3 stars. I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. (Thank you!) Stay Sweet is a book about ice cream, friendship and feminism. The main character Amelia is tasked this summer with keeping the town's famous ice cream stand open after tragedy strikes. She has to work with the owner's nephew, a cute college boy, and struggles to maintain her friendship with her best friend. What I really liked about this book was Amelia's emotional growth. She starts the book almost kind of whiny. Amelia doubts her ability to be a leader, doesn't think that she's very fun, and is wondering why she was chosen to be the manager of the ice cream stand. As the book progresses, Amelia discovers her passions and becomes more confident, which I really loved seeing. I also really liked the diary entries from the owner of the ice cream when she started making ice cream during WW2. I did feel like there was a point where there were too many, but I do real...
