Back in February I picked 5 romance books that are high on my TBR that I wanted to try to prioritize and actually read! And so far this year I’ve read three of the five so I figured this was a good chance to do a little recap of the five and give my thoughts on the ones I’ve completed so far.
Happy Place by Emily Henry – Overall this was ok. I just couldn’t get over the fact that if these two would of communicated when they were going through their rough patch in San Francisco then all of the drama wouldn’t of happened. Both of them didn’t want to burden the other and they just kept kept this false sense of happiness to keep the status quo. There was definitely some cute and semi-steamy moments, but I don’t think second chance romances are for me. ⭐️3/5 stars
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood – I really like this, I thought the premise was fun and the stakes weren’t too high. I wanted Olive to have a little more confidence in herself and stand up for herself a bit more. I liked the banter between out two main protagonists and learning about Adam more thoroughly and finding out there’s more to him than meets the eye was very cute. ⭐️4/5 stars
Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola – This was amazing! I loved all of the characters, they each felt unique and distinct and had a purpose within the plot. There was a lot of social commentary and the plot as a whole felt realistic and wasn’t forced. I loved Kiki’s attitude and the way that Malakai wormed his way into her heart was so endearing and gave me all the feels! ⭐️5/5 stars
