Review: Our Ex’s Wedding by Taleen Voskuni

January 21, 2026 by Kate Leave a Comment

Our Ex's Wedding by Taleen VoskuniContemporary RomancePublished on January 20, 2026 by BerkleyReviewed by Kate Our Ex’s Wedding is Taleen Voskuni’s third book and they just keep getting better and better! As an Armenian-American, I love these books with their Armenian-American protagonists and seeing my culture in a romance novel. I would like to note that I beta read Voskuni’s second book, Lavash at First Sight, but had no connection with this one before reviewing it.  Our Ex’s Continue Reading

Retro Review: People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

January 16, 2026 by Angela Leave a Comment

Review originally posted 5/11/2021 by Angela. People We Meet on Vacation by Emily HenryContemporary Romance/Women’s FictionMay 11, 2021, by BerkleyARC Favorite Quote: After reading last year’s release by this author, Beach Read, I couldn’t wait to find out if her sophomore effort in the genre would live up to my extremely high expectations. Spoiler alert: it did. People We Meet on Vacation is kind of an ode to the tropey best friends to lovers romantic comedy movie. In Continue Reading
