I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that by the time I read It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover, it had been on the New York Times bestseller list for 61 weeks so far. Having read a ton of her books in the past (including Layla, Reminders of Him, It Starts with Us, and Maybe Read more
I’m going to do my best to keep this portion of the review without spoilers (though I make no promises when answering “Is It Ends With Us based on a true story?” below). The novel is expertly crafted in telling the story of the main character Lily Bloom, a 23-year-old spirited young woman living in Read more

There is so much to unpack in these The Last of the Moon Girls book club questions. Love, mystery, magick, family drama… you name it, it’s there. What I love about author Barbara Davis and her books (like The Keeper of Happy Endings), is just how versatile they are. We could all read the same Read more
When I picked up The Last of the Moon Girls by Barbara Davis, I had pretty high expectations. Having read (and loved) The Keeper of Happy Endings by the same author, I wanted to see how Davis’ other books held up. I was hopeful Davis might have also brought her same lyrical phrasing and storytelling Read more
