Sometimes, my life is a series of deadlines and chaos, and then a book pops up that pushes through all of that chaos. How to Write a Love Story was that book for me. From the very first page, Ciara and Sam had my heart. They both ring so true through the pages, and I could see myself quite happily at a pub with either of them- or both!
How to Write a Love Story was full of the Irish charm we all know and love, as well as the tenderness between author and editor in the midst of a journey. Ciara’s writer’s block and complicated feelings about her dad’s passing was just so real and raw. Like Sam in so many moments, I just wanted to reach out and hug her. I was so happy when he finally did.
I loved this book a hell of a lot- enough that I’m struggling to put it into words. Catherine Walsh wrote such a beautiful love story and I know it’s not one that’s going to leave my mind and heart anytime soon. I need more from her ASAP, and if I don’t get Maddie’s story next, I may simply pass away!

Stolen Hearts is such a…
ARC Review: You Won’t Forget Me by Mazey Eddings
Publication Date: June 8, 2026 MAZEY EDDINGS, WOW. This book is the slow burn trope at its absolute finest, and I am thoroughly wrecked. You Won’t Forget Me is peak pining and the dynamic between Cubby and Darcy is everything. The two bandmates falling in love story is always a good one, and this was…
ARC Review: Brighter than Before by Courtney Walsh
Publication Date: June 9, 2026 Brighter than Before was such a tender story about falling in love and finding oneself again. Claire and Miles are both older characters, and that maturity was beyond refreshing. I loved seeing Claire’s grown-up daughter, Minnie, interact with Claire and with Miles on a quest to find Claire a romantic…
