    seven days in june was my favourite read last year ugh, if I could re-read one romance over & over for the first time again, it would be this book. it was so raw and captivating, i still think about it from time to time. so mad that poc romance especially does not get the hype that it deserves!!!

    It Happened One Summer is perfectionnn. I went in thinking I was going to hate this one because we start with a social media addicted blonde brat, but I fell in love with the characters. Brendan is my favorite book bf so far. Piper matured so much too.

    You deserve each other is definitely not for everyone. Personally, I think it’s one of the most romantic books out there. It felt incredibly realistic and Naomi was so relatable to me. I absolutely love Hogle’s writing, too. Twice Shy is another amazing book by her. Waiting for her Christmas book to arrive in the mail today 🤍

      omg i dont even know why i'd picked it up on a whim, but it ended up rly surprising me and making me feel so many emotions. been a few years, and ive wanted to reread it bc i feel like i could appreciate it more now, but from what i remember it rly was so romantic in its own way, and like you said very real too. this is a great reminder to revisit it and also read more sarah hogle, i forget why i was on the fence about twice shy but i should finally give it a go

    I think you are right about Tessa Bailey. I hated It Happened One Summer and I really haven’t enjoyed any of Tessa Bailey’s books. Maybe I’m just not that into rom coms.

    Thanks for reading all those romances from the Goodreads list. I don't really trust the site's ratings, so I appreciate you taking that on. I acquired some of these on your advice. I don't usually trust Booktube romance recs (my romance taste is pretty quirky), but I can see we agree on a number of books, so I will go for it. :D

    I’ve read 7/12 books based on Chan’s recommendations and it’s interesting to see which books we align on 5 stars and which don’t😅 I’m finding that I like more of the literary romances with serious themes, but I’ll give any of Chan’s recommendations a shot! Lady for a Duke is and Part of Your World are some of my favorite books EVER🥹❤

    I just read They Call Her Sofia by Doris Ladino and I loved it! It’s a romance book about healing and finding self love after being betrayed and manipulated. It’s sweet and spicy. The audiobook is very entertaining and easy to listen to. Overall , It’s a feel good book and fast read. Enjoy!
