ARC Review: Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin to Talk About by Isabelle Popp

Publication Date: August 26, 2025

If you’ve ever wanted to rage through a pumpkin patch and smash pumpkins, this book is for you! In all seriousness, Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin to Talk About was a hilarious story of two competitive people brought together under very unique circumstances. Sadie and Josh’s story of competing pumpkins for a local fair was honest, real, and had me cracking up. It was such a fun read and has me wanting that fall weather ASAP!

At their cores, Sadie and Josh are two very different people. I loved how their eccentricities only brought them closer, rather than creating distance, and how they never sought to change the other. There’s something beautiful about being seen for who you truly are, and that’s very prevalent in this story.

Isabelle Popp did a great job in writing this book! Sadie is a character who makes so much sense to me, and I found so many relatable moments with her. And I loved the dynamic she develops with Josh. Their spice is excellent, but the tenderness that runs through their every interaction is my favorite part of this story for sure.

Thank you to Harlequin – Romance and Afterglow Books by Harlequin 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…
