• There’s Something About Sweetie Review

  We bring things back to the Patal family about two years later with Ashish Patel suffering through the throes of the worst kind of hurt, heartbreak. Celia cheated on him and it seems his mojo is lost for good. He can’t flirt, can’t play basketball and he can’t even work up his Ash-smolder. Worse is…

• From Twinkle, With Love Review

  This epistoloary novel is made up of letters from Twinkle to her favorite female directors like Ava Duv, Mira Nair, Nora Ephron etc. (they’re more diary entries than letters really) that immediately bring readers up to speed to who Twinkle Mehra is. A junior in high school, Twinkle dreams of becoming a film-maker and despite…

• When Dimple Met Rishi Review

  This was a sweet romance coming from one of the most unexpected (and worst) first meetings. Rishi Patal comes up to introduce himself Dimple Shah, joking about starting their lives together as future husband and wife. Understandably, she not knowing who this wacko is, throws coffee in his face. Let’s back up a bit.

• Winter Books

  Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams Someone said that this was like a modern Bridget Jones Diary but I’d say this was a bit deeper than that. Yes, the titular Queenie does have a bonkers love life and sometimes she doesn’t know how to put the oven on and her personal and business life cna get messy…

• Dork Diaries ReRerad

  I’ve been rereading the Dork Diaries since I remembered stopping over #10 because I think I grew out of it. But I also think it changed somewhat. It felt too hard trying to be hip with hashtags and such but that might just me being an old old person. Again, I guess I grew out…

• Top 5 Canterwood Crest

  Chosen: This one probably gets first as it has at least 50-100 pages more than the other books in the series being a super special at all. That allows Burkhart to carve more time to get into Lauren’s internal struggle as a rider coming down from being a champion to getting over her fears. That…

• Ranking The Popularity Papers

  The Rocky Road Trip of Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang: I love road trip stories so this one gets the top spot as Lydia and Julie get to spend the summer across the American West and East Coast encountering giant dinosaurs, mutant blueberries, and earthquakes. But more dangerous than the rattlesnake (possibly flat tire) they…

• Ranking Cheer!

  1. Home for the Holidays: This got the number one spot because it brings the biggest plot twist and potential status quo changer in the form of Katie and Maddy bonding in New York. There’s also the possibility that she’ll move to NY permenantly to live with her father and boring Beth so Maddy really…

• Ranking Drama!

  1. Everyone’s a Critic: This book comes at number one because of the major shift in character development and aspirations for the series’ protagonist, Bryan Stark. And it’s only the second episode! Bryan has always wanted to be an actor, not on Meryl Streap-level, that’s his best friend’s Sam’s perogative but he is fine with…
