Let’s start this review with a confession, because I have never heard of Every Summer After by Carley Fortune before the Dutch translation was announced. It’s a really popular book amongst the booktok croud, but I’m not part of it so no wonder I’ve missed it. The announcement of the translation did ring a bell… Continue reading Review: Every Summer After by Carley Fortune

Review: The Switch by Beth O’Leary
A few years ago, Beth O’Leary debuted with her novel The Flatshare. This book got lots of praise, which I can’t judge since I haven’t read it yet. Her following novel The Switch again got lots of praise and hype. This one I recently read. Do I agree on this hype or was this book… Continue reading Review: The Switch by Beth O’Leary
Review: I Wish You All The Best by Mason Deaver
Back in 2019, I Wish You All The Best by Mason Deaver got published. This book is a queer YA novel with a non-binary main character. I wanted to read this book ever since it got published, but I was unfortunate. The English ebook and audiobook was not available in my country.

Review: The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros
Rebecca yarros is one of my autobuy authors. My introduction to her novels was when I picked up the first book in the “Flight & Glory” series (which I still haven’t finished by the way). After that, I’ve read nearly all her books – except some older ones and some installments in series. One of… Continue reading Review: The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros

Review: The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas
Last year, The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Arrmas was one of the many hypes on Booktok. Although I haled the book almost immediately, I just didn’t pick it up. Untill now. Was it worth the hype or yet another Booktok disappointment for me?
Review: The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
A few years ago, The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes got published. This book immediately got lots and lots of hype and praise. Unfortunately, it wasn’r really my cup of tea. However, I was still curious of the further developments in the game, so I’ve read The Hawthorne Legacy. This series was supposed to… Continue reading Review: The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Review: You’ve Reached Sam by Dustin Thao
You’ve Reached Sam is a book that receives a lot of hype on TikTok. Whereas I’m not using that platform, I wasn’t aware of that untill this book started popping up frequently in my Goodreads feed. Actually I first heard about it when the Dutch translation was announced. I’ve read the synopsis which intrigued me.… Continue reading Review: You’ve Reached Sam by Dustin Thao
