📚 Perfect Fall Reading List:

"Autumn Skies" by Denise Hunter: Set against a charming vineyard, this novel is filled with heartfelt family moments and swoon-worthy romance.

"Pumpkin Everything" by Beth Labonte: A sweet, small-town romance perfect for autumn with pumpkins, festivities, and of course, love in the air.

📖 Book Review: "Love, Theoretically" by Ali Hazelwood

"Love, Theoretically" I dove into "Love, Theoretically" with modest expectations—anticipating a bit of laughter and not much else—but to my surprise, I found myself deeply invested and connected to the characters.

Yes, the book does follow Hazelwood’s recognizable formula…

The approach, while comfortable, becomes somewhat repetitive and blurs the distinctive qualities between characters across Hazelwood’s works.

Despite these critiques, I’m genuinely excited to see Hazelwood’s future works as "Love, Theoretically" hints at a shift in her writing trends.

Her unmatched humor and wit continue to be the highlight of her novels, making each book a worthwhile read even if some elements prompt an eye-roll or two…

Hazelwood’s books may not be perfect, but they are undeniably enjoyable.

Curious to know your thoughts if you’ve read it too!
