In Five Years by Rebecca Serle: A Love Story That Wasn’t

February 27, 2025

I started In Five Years thinking it would be a love story, but by the time I turned the last page (all in one day!), I realized it was something much deeper. It was something that broke my heart and put it back together in a way I never, ever saw coming. I spotted the book in one of my local thr[...]

The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy: Team Conrad vs. Jeremiah

February 23, 2025

I didn’t mean to read all three books in The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy in three days... it just happened. The first book has lived on my bookshelves for months (it was a thrift store find) and I figured I’d start something light for my February Complicated Love & Friendship series.[...]

One Day in December: A Love Story That Feels Like Home

February 17, 2025

February 15, 2025

I have always loved a good scary movie. I’ve also always loved a good love story. So when the two come together, when romance is tangled with a touch of terror, I’m hooked. To say the least. Both the hopeless romantic and horror fanatic inside of me are fully ignited. Sure, Valentine’s[...]

February 13, 2025

Some love stories aren’t just about romance—they’re about friendship, the people who know you best, and the way relationships evolve over time. A good friend knows all your best stories, but a best friend has lived them with you. If you’re looking for the perfect Galentine’s read[...]

Hi I’m Julie

I love to read, write, and take too many pictures. Blogging has always combined all three loves into a fun and beautiful hobby. You can always find me with an iced coffee in one hand and a book (or two) in the other. Thanks for stopping by!

As a serial highlighter and tabber, this book would have been ABSOLUTELY COVERED in little tabs if it was a physical copy. My Kindle highlights will have to suffice until pub day (June 2027) because I have so many thoughts. 

the ghosts, the art, the wasps, the homewrecking…

This book was strange, sad, funny, beautifully unsettling, and somehow incredibly comforting all at once… and I loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My full review ⚠️with spoilers ⚠️ is up on the blog! 

Thank you @netgalley @spiegelandgrau @beckymandelbaum for this amazing ARC!
