Rating: 4 out of 5.

This is book 5 in the Foxbrooke book series and it’s time for Leo to fall in love. It’s a fun and sexy friends-to-lovers contemporary romance.

Because Fat Girl by Lauren Marie Fleming

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down and read it in only two days. The book is well-written and touches on subjects that should be talked about more. The female main character Diana identifies as fat and queer. She is a writer and filmmaker that tackles one obstacle after another to get her work funded and produced. I could relate to her struggle to achieve her dreams. It’s so hard to see less talented people that are connected get breaks when you can’t get one no matter how hard you work.

The Bitter End by Alexa Donne

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This was a fun and twisty YA mystery/thriller that is a quick and easy read. Eight students from LA’s elite Warner Prep are on their Senior Excursion. It’s supposed to be five days of Instagrammable adventure in one of the world’s most exclusive locations. But, at the last minute, each of the students is pulled from their original excursion and assigned to a new one set high in the mountains. It’s explained the excursion will be a digital detox in an isolated Colorado ski chalet.(insert eerie music here)

Ice Ice Maybe by Rich Amooi

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This contemporary hockey romance was just too cute. One of my favorite romance tropes is fake dating, and this was one of the more unique ways the couple end up together. Plus, the book is set in San Diego where I live, so it was fun to read about places that I am familiar with that are mentioned in the book.

But, instead of considering the social and financial interests of the couple and their families, the young matchmaker has a keen ability to match people who are actually suited to each other and destined to fall in love.
