This review of IF I FIX YOU...💙💙💙@marycha This review of IF I FIX YOU...💙💙💙@marychasewrites If I Fix You is the second book I read by @abigailjohnsonya and it has cemented her as one of my favorite new-to-me authors of 2021. The book is technically a YA romance, but it’s a lot more than that, and, while I didn’t read a ton about it going in, it was not at all what I was expecting. Jill’s mom walks out on her and her dad leaving only a post-it note after years of fighting and one horrifying incident that only Jill and her best friend/crush Sean know about. Now Jill can’t bear to look at Sean, and she and her dad are trying to heal despite the fact that Jill is keeping a huge secret from him and they never talk about her mom. They bond the way they always have. In her dad’s garage fixing cars. When 21-year-old Daniel moves in across the street with scars of his own—both literal and figurative—Jill focuses on trying to fix him, but also finds comfort in having someone to talk to about her life who isn’t actually in the middle of it. But is it even possible to fix another person? And when does the burden of trying become too heavy a load to bear? First off I want to say that Abigail Johnson’s writing is just beautiful. There’s a cadence and flow to the prose that immediately elevates the reading experience for me, and, like the first book I read—Every Other Weekend, the dialogue is fantastic. But she really tackles hard topics. It’s again a testament to the writing that I found the reading experience so enjoyable when so much of what was happening was excruciatingly heartbreaking. There’s child abuse, both mental and physical, there’s a strained friendship that was so sad, and there’s this painful budding relationship between sixteen-year-old Jill and 21-year-old Daniel that could upset some readers. For me, it was handled beautifully and took turns I was not expecting. Daniel is very aware of the lines he can’t cross with Jill because of their age difference, but he’s really just a kid himself who has been through so much and needs a friend as much as she does. I would highly recommend this one to YA readers who like a deeper romance and gorgeous writing. What’s the last book that surprised you?
⭐️ Cover Reveal ⭐️ I'm thrilled to help sh ⭐️ Cover Reveal ⭐️ I'm thrilled to help share the cover for @normalchey 's new YA Contemporary, IF WE BREAK UP. I'm a massive fan of Chey's and from what I've seen of this book so far it's going to be another favorite. You can pre-order the book and it'll be published on March 8th 2022. ⭐️ Book description: Honey Blackwell’s high school sweetheart is getting on her nerves. Like everyone else in their small town, Luca thinks he and Honey should take over his family business and live happily ever after. Honey wants more. That’s why she secretly applied to her dream college in Colorado. When she gets in, Luca is devastated. After the biggest argument of their lives, Honey discovers a scientific journal that claims people find their true soul mate after being in five relationships. She poses this experiment to Luca, and soon they’ve made a pact to break up, go on five dates with different people, and then decide if they’re truly meant to be together forever. It’s science, after all, and science has never let Honey down. Finding people to date is awkward, exciting, and a little futile. None of Honey’s dates are soul mate material, which is starting to prove Luca’s hypothesis—that they are already soul mates. When the rest of STEM club comes down with food poisoning, Honey finds herself at the weekend science convention with Mason, her mortal enemy. Mason, the guy who also got into her dream college. The guy she just accidentally kissed. She likes him. But she loves Luca. As she struggles to choose between the picture-perfect future she already has and the temptation of the unknown, she learns that love isn’t a scientific equation. It’s a choice. And now Honey must make hers. . . . #ifwebreakup #cheyanneyoung #coverreveal #contemporaryya
Reposted from @tomesoflove Do you read on planes w Reposted from @tomesoflove Do you read on planes when you travel? I read the entirety of this book on my flight to and from Albuquerque and oh man. Reading the end of this book in an airport terminal is not a great idea if you don’t want people seeing you tear up 😅 This book has DEEP WARNINGS/TRIGGERS. I honestly went in not knowing too much about this other than it was a friends to lovers story. But I devoured the psychological and traumatic plot points following Jolene. My girl has been THROUGH it. And her sarcastic and blunt defense mechanism was both great to read and also so dang exceptional of showing how trauma effects people. And I really connected most with Adam’s dad in their struggle. I’m so glad the author included both kinds of grief in this family. Warning: Serious topics of abuse of many forms in this story. __________ #everyotherweekend #bookreview #bookrecommendations #reader #igreads #bibliophile #bookworm #bookaddict #romance #bookstagram #bookphoto
QOTD: Adam: I saved you a piece of my sweet potato QOTD: Adam: I saved you a piece of my sweet potato pie. Jolene: Did you really? Adam: It’s a big piece. Jolene: I didn’t save you any Tofurky. Adam: Thanks for that. Jolene: Happy Turkey Day, Adam. Adam: Happy Turkey Day, Jolene. -EVERY OTHER WEEKEND 🦃  Happy Thanksgiving a day early! EVERY OTHER WEEKEND is my only book so far that has a Thanksgiving scene in it so I thought it was the perfect book to talk about this week. If you haven't read it, Adam and Jolene only get to see each other every other weekend when they're visiting their respective dads, so during the week they send each other text messages including this one. Swipe to see the full scene and go pick up a copy if you're in the mood for a big-hearted love story with as many laughs as there are tears, and a guaranteed smile at the end 🥰. 🦃 EVERY OTHER WEEKEND by @abigailjohnsonya is available now from @inkyardpress. Cover illustration by @marissakorda, cover design by @lau.gigi.lau.  🦃 #EveryOtherWeekend #abigailjohnson #thanksgiving #bookphoto #wheelchairgirl #bookstagram #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookrecommendation #bookworm #bookaddict #bookish #booknerd #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #instabook #bookaholic #bookphotography #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookcommunity #booklove #bookshelf #bookblogger #authorlife #instabooks #igreads #bookobsessed #booklovers #readingtime
“Don’t go yet, Sam. Just stay with me a little “Don’t go yet, Sam. Just stay with me a little bit longer.” -- YOU'VE REACHED SAM 🌸 This is a book that's been on my radar for a long time since the premise sounded so beautiful. Who wouldn't want to talk to a lost loved one again? To find an inexplicable connection that allows you to have more time? For me, this book wasn't the sobfest I was expecting, instead it was a quiet, softly melancholy book that offers a tender look at grief, the process of losing someone you love, and ultimately learning how to let go. There's a real sweetness to this story and to Sam himself that many readers will want to sink into. If you're looking for a quiet and sweet book about loss that often has a dream-like quality then you'll want to pick this one up. 🌸 YOU'VE REACHED SAM by @thedustinthao is available now from @wednesdaybooks. Cover illustration by @zipcy. I received an ARC from Goodreads. 🌸 Swipe to read the full description and see a close-up of the cover. 🌸 #youvereachedsam #dustinthao #contemporaryya #bookstagram #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookrecommendation #bookworm #abigailjohnson #coverrecreation #bookstagram #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookrecommendation #bookworm #bookaddict #bookish #booknerd #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #instabook #bookaholic #bookphotography #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookcommunity #booklove #bookshelf #bookblogger #bookreview #instabooks #igreads #bookobsessed #booklovers #readingtime

But love at Christmas, well, it's just something... magical, isn't it?" - BLAME IT ON THE MISTLETOE 🎄 I know, I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet and here I am already taking about Christmas reads.

In this YA version of that trope, a US girl and a UK girl swap homes for Christmas, have all the festive fun, and discover truly magical romances too! It's all kinds of adorable and heartwarming, filled with Christmasy traditions from both sides of the pond, funny friends, and rom-com shenanigans.

Marissa Meyer is a master when it comes to retellings. She takes the essence of the original story and weaves her own unique magic into the tale, spinning it into something wildly new. Her version of Rumpelstiltsin is haunting and enchanting, with plenty of dark twists and glittering romance.
