Sometimes I feel like a feral little human. I daydream of running wild, biting ankles and yelling at people to stop interrupting me .

Side note, this is my pet peeve. I hate being interrupted.

I have always had a lot to say in addition to an immense amount of excitement in everything I blurt out, so when someone interrupts me, they are killing my vibe .

Rant over

I’m here to tell you about a peachy little book I read last night that had me ranting and raving over morning coffee with my book bestie this morning .

“Can you believe that butt hole? What was he thinking!”

“And she did what!!!”

Yes! I’m guilty as charged, I have just read two back to back romcoms and I need you to NOT kill my vibe. I’m chasing rainbows and planting trees over here.

Am I starting to believe in happy endings?

Stay tuned .

Did I just become a Thriller Traitor 🤐

Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts

In Kristyn J. Miller's Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts, a sparkling debut rom-com, a perpetually single podcaster has to break all of her own dating rules…

⭐⭐⭐.5 /5
Spice level 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

This is a strong romcom debut for Kristyn Miller! I really enjoyed this beachy foray into the lives of Margo and Declan, former (one-sided) rivals who are thrust together to plan a wedding on Catalina Island. While the book follows tried-and-true tropes, Miller leaves some room for surprises with her deft handling of the main character arcs, which touch on universal themes of identity crisis, career uncertainty and self-confidence. However, the ending felt a little rushed (I'm not a fan of the third act breakup), and I wasn't able to connect with Margo as much as other readers seemed to have; I felt that her spunkiness sometimes verged on cruelty, which I realize can be a tricky (and often gendered) balancing act for writers to strike. Declan was SWOONWORTHY though, and the spice was great! Definitely recommend throwing this one in your tote for a beach day.

4 Stars A fun and witty rom com! I read this so quickly because it was so entertaining. I especially loved the up to date references to pop culture, like Bumble, Doja Cat, and Timothee Chalamet. Definitely a rom com meant for young millennials/Gen Zers. Margo and Declan were an adorable couple and had such a fun dynamic. Recommend this one!

This author is definitely one to watch! I loved her writing style.
This was a delightful romcom that I devoured easily. I loved the setting on Catalina Island and the glimpse into the pressures of the social media world. Margo and Declan are complete opposites, but we all know what that means…💗 This one is full of humor, emotion, and character growth.
Also, Declan = Swoon 😍
