What You Wish For

What You Wish For by Katherine Center
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

📚 Hello Book Friends! Katherine Center did it again; she delivers a whimsical love story in WHAT YOU WISH FOR. This book is fun, emotional, and rated G sexy. The story is about Samantha Casey (a.k.a. Sam). Sam is a librarian at her beloved Kempner School. She loves her job, she loves her boss, she loves her new town of Galveston, Texas. Max and Babette Kempner are like second parents to Sam. They have welcomed her in their home, and she feels so grateful to have them in her life. But nothing is forever. When Max Kempner, her boss, suddenly passes away, her happy world is changed. To add to the matter, her old crush, Duncan Carpenter, has been hired to replace Max as the school principal. At first, Sam is happy that the school is getting someone as remarkable as Max, but she is concerned that this will be a game-changer for her and that she will have to run away again. It turns out that Duncan has a life make-over since she last saw him and is now the opposite of what he used to be. From the goofy-life-loving man she knew, he has become a grey-strict-stick man. Duncan is making changes to the school that will negatively change its flavour. Sam must stop him and help him rediscover the joyful side of life. Can Duncan change? Can Sam conquer her fear and let love be love? You will have to read this quirky book to find out. It is a fun and light read with many ups and downs. You will enjoy it.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Thank you, St. Martin’s Press for sending me an ARC of this wonderful book. WHAT YOU WISH FOR by Katherine Center is now available at your favourite bookstore.

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her  by  Liz Plum My rating:  3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves  by  Ingrid Chabbert My rating:  5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
