Very Sincerely Yours by Kerry Winfrey June 15, 2021 by Berkley Contemporary Romance Very Sincerely Yours is an adorable book. Unfortunately, I don't have that much more to say about it. It follows romance novel conventions, including the third act break-up, has one of my favorite tropes (hidden identity), and is very sweet. This is obviously not a negative - sometimes this is what you're looking for in a book! But not a ton happens in Very Sincerely Yours, and despite the aforementioned Continue Reading

But, it feels a lot like an abduction to her. Which, it kind of is, to be fair. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the finale of this Continue Reading

There is such depth to this world-building and the plot arc is complex- full of sacrifice, past abuse, talk of cultural identity, and scenes of persecution and oppression. I don't know if I'll do a good job of it, but I'll try to hammer out some words in a workable review. Evike is the only Continue Reading
