Flirting With Fifty by Jane Porter
tw/cw: antifat bias, manipulation, abuse Flirting With Fifty is a contemporary romance between Paige, who turns fifty about halfway through the book, and Jack, who is a few years older. Full disclosure: I’m the same age as Paige, and, like Paige’s daughters, I’m the adult daughter of an alcoholic father and a mom who divorced said father late in life, and my personal experiences very much colored how I perceived the book. There’s not a … Continue reading Flirting With Fifty by Jane Porter
Links: Grandmas, Our Flag Means Death, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links, y’all! I’m so happy you’re here. It’s my partner’s birthday this week and I am just brimming with excitement to celebrate. I did an artsy crafty thing for them and made a Princess Monoke-themed light up terrarium. They don’t regularly read the site unless I tell them, so I feel safe revealing it.

So This Is Ever After by F. T. Lukens
Oh my gosh you guys, this book is just as dreamy and adorable as its cover suggests. I’m not usually fond of the trope in which the main conflict between a couple is that neither can bring themselves to admit their feelings. However, I have a soft spot for this charming story in which a young group of questers has to sort out their feelings while managing a kingdom that they didn’t think they’d be … Continue reading So This Is Ever After by F.

Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston is $2.99! This one is probably on sale because of the recent exciting movie news and I know many of you loved this one. Aarya gave this one a C- because she found the political world building too much of a distraction.

HaBO: A Black Trench Coat
This HaBO is from Ana, who is looking for this romance: During a trip to Cancun between 2004 and 2010 (so the book would have to have been published before but not too long before 1990-2008) I ran into a book: black cover with large pink font on the top and a woman in a black trench coat. The title was a single word. The book opened with the male lead remembering a fling during … Continue reading HaBO: A Black Trench Coat
