The Lucky Dress By: Aimee Brown

Emi Harrison, our main girl, is freshly back on the market after her ex-fiancée, Jack, decided to be a sleaze. She is moving on by creating a new life for herself and pushing her broken heart past her worst moment ever. It’s been a year since the big scandal went down, and she is being forced to see Jack again at her brother’s wedding. Throw in an archenemy and what could go wrong, right?!


The Lucky Dress was so fun! A true definition of a RomCom! When reading a novel, writing skill is very important to me. Overall, Brown did a fantastic job writing this story. I did notice some wording that was off once or twice while reading it (honestly could just be style differences), but it wasn’t enough to affect my opinion of the novel. I really loved how Brown moved forward as well as backward with this book. The flashback scenes allowed me to get to know the characters better as well as understand their emotions.

When I started this novel, I had no idea where it was going to take me. I started loving the very character I wanted to hate, causing all of the emotional turmoil Emi was feeling to manifest in me as well. This is a testament to how well Brown is at character development; it's superb! There are several twists in this book that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, craving to know what the next chapter would bring. More than once, I wanted to smack Emi, because she is just so stubborn! I felt invested in her relationships. The novel tied off nicely, and I was pleased that Emi comes to terms with her feelings and learns to overcome the stubbornness rooted in her.

The Lucky Dress is a hilarious page turner that reminds me why I love a happy ending. I read it in one sitting even if it did keep me up late that night! I highly recommend this novel for anyone who loves romantic comedies or just wants a fun read. You can purchase it through my amazon affiliate link here!

Sorcery of Thorns By Margaret Rogerson

Sorcery of Thorns By Margaret Rogerson did not disappoint! I give this book a full 5 stars, and I am so thrilled I finally picked it up! This book sat on my TBR shelf for about four months. Y’all, that was five months too long! This standalone fantasy novel is uniquely thrilling, humorous, and inspiring.   It’s a must read for all lovers of fantasy!  Elisabeth was raised in the bowels of the library vowing to protect others from the evil of magic. Nathaniel is a sorcerer and the vilest kind, or at least his cold eyes say as much. When Elisabeth has to depend on the person she has grown up despising, she learns more about herself than she ever thought possible. Elisabeth, Nathaniel, and dear, sweet Silas teach us that the world is not always what we are taught and that people do not have to become what they are labeled.     This is Rogerson’s sophomore novel, but the first story I have read by her. This world was created with such care and detail it could easily hav

Game Changer By Sylvie Stewart

I was pleasantly surprised with Game Changer by Sylvie Stewart. When I started the story, I had to roll my eyes a few times at the over the top small-town details. A rebel flag suitcase… come on now? That just doesn’t happen, especially for people like the characters in this story. However, I let the ridiculous southern details slide and decided to power on figuring the author was going for an over the top, Sweet Home Alabama, melt your heart southern family.             I’m very pleased with my decision to continue reading. I truly started to like our main girl, Poppy. Her desire to fit into the New York lifestyle was natural, even if her southern roots were a little stronger than any I’ve ever personally seen. Her relationship with Mac is so cute and swoon worthy. Stewart did an amazing job with the comedic relief, and I was entertained the entire time. But wait! You will be happy to know that there is, in fact, a plot underneath all of the absurdity known as Mi

Relatively Normal By Whitney Dineen

--> Relatively Normal was recommended by Amazon as a book that I may be interested in. After having purchased several "recommended" books by Amazon that were total flops, I am a little more resistant to purchase their recommendations. When I saw that Whitney Dineen was an award winning author, I figured I would give this romantic comedy a go. I give this book 3.3 stars rounded down to a 3. I wanted to like this book more than I did.  Cat is a successful party planner who is in a committed relationship and decides to take her betrothed home to meet her family; however, her family isn’t quite “normal.” So… you can see where this story is going. To make matters even worse her high school love who tragically smashed her heart into a million pieces decides to re-enter her life. In the beginning, I had a hard time really connecting with the characters. The story was interesting because I wanted to see what the Masterson family was going to do next. As the stor
