The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris Review — Evie Woods
Romance • 2026 The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris By Evie Woods • ★★★ I was actually looking for a different Evie Woods book, but it wasn’t available at the library — this one was. It sounded fun and whimsical, and since I’m learning French, the Parisian setting tempted me enough to give it…

The Bright Years Review — Sarah Damoff
Literary Fiction • 2026 The Bright Years By Sarah Damoff • ★★★★★ I wish this book had come with a trigger warning — though it wouldn’t have stopped me from loving it. My dad is an alcoholic, and my relationship with my mother was non-existent after a certain point in my teen years, so this…

Into the Blue Review — Emma Brodie
Romance • 2026 Into the Blue By Emma Brodie • ★★★ This book quickly rose to TikTok popularity, so I went in with high hopes. And while it was enjoyable, I came out feeling a little fooled. The story didn’t need to be 400+ pages long, and a lot of that padding comes from a…

Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About Review — Isabel Klee
This felt like a modern-day Girls or Sex and the City — but with characters you actually root for. I always wanted to live in NYC in my 20s and never got to. Isabel let me experience that life vicariously, even if a decade late. I started crying on page 91 — the moment Sweet…

Piglet Review — Lottie Hazell
Book Review — Lottie Hazell This is the kind of book I want to exist. I wanted to love it. I didn’t. Piglet covers a lot of ground — self-discovery, class systems, sexism, ambition, purpose — and it does all of it through the lens of an eating disorder. The main character copes through binge…

Strangers Review — Belle Burden
Book Review — Belle Burden I went into this knowing nothing about Belle Burden. Truly thought she was just another person writing about their divorce. Then I found out about the Paleys and the Vanderbilts, and by then I was already too invested to care. The biggest criticism of Strangers — and you’ll see it…
