⭐️ Review ⭐️ Tiffy and Leon share a bed. Tiffy and Leon have never met... . This was one of the most unique concepts for a romantic comedy I’ve ever read! Tiffy needs a place to stay after getting out of a bad relationship. Leon needs money to pay an attorney to help his brother. Without ever meeting, Tiffy winds up renting space in Leon’s flat. He works long hours at night, so the entire place is hers then. While Tiffy is away at work during the day, Leon crashes for a few hours. They communicate solely via post-it notes for a while, and slowly get to know each other and of course, eventually falling deeply in love. (All the heart eyes 😍😍😍😍). . . . I loved this book! Both Tiffy and Leon were wonderful characters, quirky and realistic, very easy to root for, with great chemistry. Leon isn’t your typical romantic leading man and I LOVED that about him. I enjoyed watching their relationship slowly develop from strangers to friends to lovers. It wasn’t all silly and fun, though—the story had surprising depth, with a cast of vivid supporting characters. If you’re a fan of British romantic comedy like Sophie Kinsella, you should definitely check this one out. The steam factor is moderate—some sexy time but nothing too explicit. I devoured it! . . Does this sound like something you’d like? If you’ve read it, tell me what you thought! . .

I absolutely LOVED Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter so this was a no-brained for my June #bookofthemonth pick. I’m not normally a science fiction reader but Crouch did an amazing job combining a compelling character, fast-paced plot, and a mind-blowing scientific premise. Can’t wait to read this one. . . Have you read any other books by Blake Crouch? Any other science fiction I should check out? . . . . #recursion #botmclub #botm #flowersandbooks #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookshark #booknerd #bookphotography #readersofinsta #readersofinstagram

Review: . Synopsis: Francis Gleeson and Brian Stanhope, both rookie cops in the NYPD, live next door to each other outside the city. What happens behind closed doors in both houses—the loneliness of Francis’s wife, Lena, and the instability of Brian’s wife, Anne, sets the stage for tragedy between the two families. . . It’s difficult to review this one without giving too much away, and it’s probably best to go in without knowing what the “tragedy” is. Much of the story centers on the children, Kate Gleeson and Peter Stanhope, and their relationship as it transforms from best friends as children to much more as adults. The story covers several decades and involves multiple points of view, and it took some time for me to settle in to the narrative style and the characters. Keane is a lovely writer but she does keep the reader somewhat removed, emotionally. We often see many years passing in one chapter, or hear about events rather than watch them unfold in a scene. Still, I slowly came to love and appreciate all of these characters and the way they reacted to the events of one tragic night. This story can feel heavy at times, dealing with mental illness, addiction, disability, infidelity, and other topics. But I love a good family drama, and this one delivered. Peter and Kate’s relationship was the best developed, and by the last hundred pages I was wholly invested in them. A solid four star read for me. Recommended for readers who love literary fiction exploring imperfect family relationships. This is out NOW and is getting lots of buzz so definitely pick it up! . . Thanks to @scribnerbooks and @netgalley for a digital arc in exchange for an honest review. . . Do you read literary fiction? If you’ve read this one, I would love to discuss! . . . . #askagainyes #literaryfiction #bookreview #netgalley #bookstagram #recommended #bibliophile #booknerd #readersofinsta #readersofinstagram

Hey romcom fans! The lovely folks at @penguinrandomhouse #partner sent me this beautiful finished paperback copy of this summer’s highly anticipated romantic comedy! I read an arc a few weeks ago and found this story absolutely delightful. We are currently kicked out of our home due to a little water issue (read: huge flood) so this picture was taken on the bed in our lovely hotel room. The perfect cover to brighten my day, tbh! . . Synopsis: Annie Cassidy dreams of being the next Nora Ephron. She spends her days writing screenplays, rewatching Sleepless in Seattle, and waiting for her movie-perfect meet-cute. If she could just find her own Tom Hanks—a man who’s sweet, sensitive, and possibly owns a houseboat—her problems would disappear and her life would be perfect. But Tom Hanks is nowhere in sight. When a movie starts filming in her neighborhood and Annie gets a job on set, it seems like a sign. Then Annie meets the lead actor, Drew Danforth, a cocky prankster who couldn’t be less like Tom Hanks if he tried. Their meet-cute is more of a meet-fail, but soon Annie finds herself sharing some classic rom-com moments with Drew. Her Tom Hanks can’t be an actor who’s leaving town in a matter of days...can he? . . . Check out an excerpt in my comments below, shared with permission from the nice folks at PRH. If you haven’t read this one, definitely put it on your list. Releases June 11! . . . #booknerd #waitingfortomhanks #romanticcomedy #romcom #bookstagram #bibliophile #romancebooks #instaread #readersofinsta #readersofinstagram
