The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren

Romance, fiction

The True Love Experiment - Signed – Oxford Exchange

I am not going to lie on this blog, so when I say that I was incredibly grateful and surprised that Christina Lauren was creating a spin-off story in the continuance of Fizzy and Jess’ friendship, I squealed. I think I will always hold Jess and River number one in my heart, but Fizzy and Conner are a close second. This book is what I would call short and sweet, just include the entire recording of a reality dating show. Ok, but the outstanding ending to this book still has me smiling–anyways back to the non-spoilers review!


This story had the social aspect that The Solmate Equation also had, but this novel was definitely more comedic and giddy-worthy. Although I loved the little moments when I got to see how Jess and River were doing, because it never gets old when Fizzy scares River. Not to mention the little allusions to Twilight and other things that I absolutely love made this story just that much better. I also really loved the dynamic between Conner and Fizzy. At the beginning of this novel, they didn’t have the best track records in each other’s minds, which led to specific tensions…By the end though, they really were meant to be with each other–especially with their chemistry. 


When it comes to romance novels I don’t really have that much to say because most of the plots are all loosely based off of the original guide of friends/strangers to lovers then something stupid happens causing them to break up, only for them to finally get married or whatever in the end. All things aside, romance books are still my favorite type of book. Fizzy and Conner’s relationship and story were very freeing and silly, and I loved getting to see it through the eyes of a romance author, Fizzy. Overall I loved this book (five stars), and would recommend it to romance lovers and or Christina Lauren lovers!

Long Live The Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw

Long Live The Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw  YA, fiction I had seen this book before somewhere, but I was very excited when I unwrapped this gift for Christmas! If I haven’t mentioned before, The Nightmare Before Christmas created by Tim Burton, is probably one of my favorite movies of all time, so you can assume that I was interested to see the epilogue from Sally’s perspective. This book was definitely lower than my reading level with its size fourteen font and respective main ideas, but it still pulled me in like the original story line. the details of Halloween Town and the dark, twisted woods built around these main characters were beautifully but darkly described. When it came to romance, it was absolutely adorable! Jack and Sally Skellington are just the cutest and I am glad that even just their little bit of romance gets to exist in this creepy world of Tim Burton and Shea Ernshaw. Sally has to face many difficulties throughout story entirely by herself, while trying to stay tr

  The Book Talk's Take on Booktok  Ruby D Most of the world recalls the year 2020 as the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, the addition of the many popular Netflix shows, live-action Hamilton on Disney Plus streaming services, and the small but famously foreshadowed hashtag called “booktok.” It’s hard to gauge exactly how this all started, but it is quite evident that ooktok is going to be around for a while.  booktok is now a booming community on the Tiktok app where readers, authors, and general book lovers have come together to share their common passion for literature. Like any niche on Tiktok, there are different sides to booktok, which makes it all the more lovable and accessible to hundreds of different kinds of readers.
