Review | Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery

This book is charming and super adorable. It's my absolute favourite classic novel and I think it's one everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.

Review | Fight or Flight by Samantha Young

I was totally excited for this book because I love a great enemies to lovers story. While it's an enjoyable story I think it falls flat in its overall execution. Fight or Flight follows Ava, an interior designer, who is flying back to Boston following a funeral. Ava runs into Caleb at the airport and while attracted to each other,…

ARC Review | Again, but Better by Christine Riccio

Oh, boy. While I had such high expectations for this book, it totally fell flat for me. Before jumping into this review, I think it's important to say that I do not watch Christine's videos on a regular basis. I've watched a few of them but have never been drawn in to watch more. But, the premise of her book…

The book tells the story of a family living on a farm and the scary, mysterious events that happen after meeting "the smiling man." Before long, Ollie experiences a chilling adventure after…
