Like Sadie, I have a plan for everything and could absolutely be called high maintenance at times. Unlike Sadie, I’m not sure I’m ballsy enough to hop on a hiking trip to prove an ex wrong. The Great Outdoors was such a great read that took me down the hiking journey along with Sadie and Thorn.
I loved seeing Sadie’s individual journey through this story. Watching her grow through her experience hiking into someone so independent and brave was amazing. She became the epitome of the saying “do it even while scared,” and that was such a highlight of this story.
The love that grows between Sadie and Thorn in this story was beautiful. Their stolen moments clearly meant so much to each of them, and the tenderness that grows was so special. I was so happy to see them find their dynamic together and the warmth between them was everything!

The flashbacks for their second-chance story came at the perfect times, the revelations surprising…

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…
