Ciao for Now by Kate Bromley: Take Emily in Paris but make it Violet in Rome (and throw in a dash of The Devil Wears Prada) and you have the overall vibe of this book. This was mostly enjoyable and really cute, but I felt like it could have gone a bit deeper. Nonetheless, it’s a really fun read for summer and it feels like taking a vacation (without spending any money, of course). Thank you UpLit Reads! Ciao for Now is available June 6.
Love, Lists and Fancy Ships by Sarah Grunder Ruiz: This ended up being a lot different than expected but it was so delightful! I looooved Alex, and Jo was really doing the best she could while trying to manage unimaginable grief. I’m really looking forward to book two!
Midnight, Repeated (Movie Magic #1) by Dani McLean: This was fine – the premise is interesting but I found myself skimming the second half of the book. However, I would give McLean another chance because I think her writing shows a lot of promise.
Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards #2) by Sarah MacLean: I mostly enjoyed this book but wow did I LOVE Whit! A menacing man known as Beast who also keeps candy in his pockets at all times? I guess we all contain multitudes. The setup for book three has me INTRIGUED and I might be picking it up sooner rather than later (famous last words. Check in with me in six months and ask if i’ve read it yet…)
