Poignant Plot Reviews

Alright, he we go again friends! Michelle here, still firmly in my reading bubble, much to the exasperation of my family (and the golden doodles who are craving more belly rubs!). After the emotional depths of the Hopeless series, I needed something a little different, a quick palate cleanser. And my Kindle app , bless its heart, delivered Finding Cinderella . Oh, what a charming little gem! My Fairytale Fix: Finding Cinderella Was Just What I Needed! 🧚‍♀️💖 You know those days? The ones where the HR spreadsheets are blurring, the kids are negotiating screen time like seasoned lawyers, and the dogs just know when you're about to sit down with a hot cup of coffee?  Yeah, those days call for a literary escape, and sometimes, you don't have time for a 500-page epic. That's where Finding Cinderella swooped in like a glass slipper. A Quick, Enchanting Dip into CoHo Magic ✨ Finding Cinderella isn't a long, drawn-out saga; it's a novella , a delightful, bite-sized s...

When City Girl Meets Small Town: I Survived This Fish-Out-of-Water Romance 🐟✨ Tessa Bailey's It Happened One Summer Is Like Schitt's Creek But With More Steam and Less Comedy Gold Buckle up, my fellow book-loving escapists, because I just waded through It Happened One Summer and lived to tell the tale. Think Paris Hilton gets banished to a fishing village, but with more emotional baggage and significantly better character development. The Premise That Made Me Snort Into My Wine Glass 🍷 Piper Bellinger is basically every privileged influencer who's never worked a day in her life, shipped off to her deceased stepfather's house in Westport, Washington. It's giving major Schitt's Creek vibes, except instead of a motel, we get a quaint fishing town that smells like... well, fish. Our girl Piper has to learn responsibility faster than I learned to hide online shopping receipts from my husband. Spoiler alert: it's messy. Characters Who Made Me Want to Shake T...

Here I am, everyone! It's Michelle, still glued to my iPad and probably neglecting some laundry (don't tell the kids!). After wrapping up Lake and Will's story again with This Girl, my Kindle app just knew I needed more CoHo.  So, I circled back to the "Hopeless" universe and dived into "Losing Hope". And let me tell you, if you thought *Hopeless* was a lot, buckle up! Getting Lost (and Found!) in Holder's Head: Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover 🤯 You know how I love getting totally immersed in a good book series, and after *Hopeless* left me reeling with its twists and turns, I knew I had to get the other side of the story.  My golden doodles are starting to give me judgmental looks for how much screen time I'm getting, but what can I say? Fictional worlds are far more compelling than vacuuming! Stepping Into His Shoes… and His Heart 💔 Just like *This Girl* gave us Will's perspective, *Losing Hope* dives deep into Dean Holder's mind. If yo...

You guessed it! Michelle is back, still rocking the comfy shorts and deeply immersed in the world of Colleen Hoover. After the emotional rollercoaster of Hopeless (seriously, that book had me thinking for days ), I circled back to where it all began for me: the Slammed series. And let me tell you, This Girl was the perfect dessert after a very satisfying meal! From Their Lips to My Kindle: This Girl by Colleen Hoover 🎤💖 Okay, so after getting totally caught up in Sky and Holder's story, I realized I hadn't finished Lake and Will's journey! My Kindle app is practically a permanent fixture on my iPad, and I figured it was high time I wrapped up the Slammed series. And oh boy, This Girl was such a treat. A New Perspective on a Familiar Love Story 🔄 This Girl is unique because it revisits the events of Slammed , but this time, from Will’s point of view. If you read the first two books, you know how much I adored Lake’s narration. But getting into Will’s head? Priceles...
