ARC Review: The Paris Bookshop for the Broken Hearted by Rebecca Raisin

Publication Date: February 3, 2025

The Paris Bookshop for the Broken-Hearted was a sweet and warm read. Rebecca Raisin creates characters who manage to find both love for themselves as well as a romantic love with someone else. It was a beautiful story that reminded me of how powerful love can be- as well as how beautiful the city of love is! 

So much of this book is a love letter to Paris and to family. In many ways, the romance between Coco and Henri is second to the love we see between Coco and her daughter, Eloise, as well as the familial dynamics of the book club at the bookshop. It’s a story of self love and acceptance well beyond a romantic nature. 

I loved the subtle reference to Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel and Anais, the main character of that book! Rebecca’s books make me want to take a trip to Paris ASAP. It’s hard not to fall in love with her stories and the beautiful setting they are in.

Thank you to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

ARC Review: Enter the Villa by Anna Peele

Publication Date: May 19, 2026 As a longtime Love Island fan, Enter the Villa was fascinating. Hearing from production about the stereotypes of various characters on the show, how the show morphed over time, and how the show became the mega popular force it is today was incredibly interesting. It truly was a look behind…
