My review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid is the reason I watched the Wimbledon women’s finals this year.

I really enjoy Taylor Jenkins Reid’s stories, and I’ve enjoyed that at least some of them are set in the same world! This one had characters from Miami Rising that I recognised, and Carrie was in that book as well!

This has a great atmosphere, with settings and characters that made tennis come alive in a way it never has for me before!

If you’re looking for a book to sweep you away and engross you, then I hope you find this as enthralling as I did!

Loathe to Love You by Ali Hazelwood is a set of 3 novellas about 3 friends, all in STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering and Maths, just in case you didn’t know), who find *spoiler alert* love.  But, I feel if you’re reading an Ali Hazelwood, none of this is a surprise to you!

The stories are varied enough that you don’t feel like you’re reading the same stories over again, but I do like that her female characters work in STEM, as it is an area that women are generally under represented, and so it’s a great way to inspire, and show behind the scenes of what happens there!

If you’re looking for your next romance author, then this is a great introduction to Ali Hazelwood!

My review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T J Klune is a sweet cosy fantasy story, with themes of found family, children with powers they don’t understand, and self discovery.  There is also a 

I really enjoyed the book, but I did find one thing a bit jarring, and that was the sleeping location of one of the orphans, which was in the closet of the man in charge of the orphanage.  It felt wrong to me as in the UK we have safeguarding rules about how adults with this kind of role should act, and this isn’t what they should do.

So other than the above, I really enjoyed the story.  I know that a lot of people have really enjoyed all of this book.

My review:

I finished reading Daphne yesterday! It’s a light, entertaining read (as are the rest of the Six Sisters series), set in regency times, with a series of sisters finding husbands!

I have enjoyed the different challenges each sister has had, and their different thought processes! M C Beaton obviously has a lot of fun dreaming up weird and wonderful situations that they can get caught up in, and how it is all going to work out in the end!

The other sisters (and their husbands) are often in the background, and I think this one had the most of another couple in it.

I listened to the audio book, and enjoyed her different voices for different characters!

You’ll enjoy this if you like Georgette Heyer books, or if you enjoy Bridgerton (but much less spicy).
