Island Time by Georgia Clark
Queen B’s Decree: Island Time is categorized as a RomCom, yet I found nothing very funny about it. Or maybe it’s just that my humor doesn’t match that of the characters. The basic plot is that two families are taking an isolated beach vacation for a late celebration of the marriage of their respective daughters. […]
The Reunion by Elizabeth Drummond
Queen B’s Decree: Whoooooooo boy, it’s an understatement to say I didn’t like The Reunion‘s heroine, Posy. She’s a snob, rude, flighty, spoiled, entitled, and a complete waste of space. Since graduation she’s been doing nothing but spending her father’s money while doing nothing worthy. And now, when her father has cut her off, her […]
Meant to Be Mine by Hannah Orenstein
Queen B’s Decree: Meant to Be Mine was a slog for me. The concept was really interesting: Edie’s grandmother had a vision years ago predicting the date she’d meet her future true love, and since then she has successfully predicted multiple family members. Including, Edie and her twin sister. Edie is so stuck on this […]
The Italian Job by Kathryn Freeman
Queen B’s Decree: The older I get, the less patience I have with unlikable characters. The Italian Job had promise. Forced proximity, fake relationship, enemies-to-lovers and all located within a beautiful location. But I couldn’t get over Jake. He was just so mean—the whole time (before respectfully, I quit). I don’t know why he had […]
Blame it on the Brontës by Annie Sereno
Sari, Not Sari by Sonya Singh
Queen B’s Decree: Full disclosure—I didn’t finish Sari, Not Sari by Sonya Singh. I couldn’t connect with the main Heroine, Manny. She’s the CEO of her company Break Up, which basically drafts break-up emails and texts and sends them to your significant other. It was a little confusing; why was I reading a romance novel […]
The Wedding Crasher by Abigail Mann
The Rumor Game by Dhonielle Clayton and Sona Charaipotra
Queen B’s Decree: It’s times like this that I wonder if I’ve outgrown the YA genre. I just couldn’t get into The Rumor Game. The storyline was slow and boring for me, and I wasn’t interested enough in the characters to continue and see if it picked up. None of the characters were particularly likable. […]
