voodoocactus's review of Always There For You

4/5: What a charming novelette! Mutual pining, not actually unrequited love, a tiny bit of partner worry, friendship, falling (more) in love, getting together. There’s a feather-light touch of angst and insecurity but this is 99% fluff and cozy romance. (So much so that I was feeling slightly nauseous but that might’ve also been my lingering migraine.) My only complaint is that the first half was a bit heavy with the insecurity whump and mutual I-can’t-tell-her-because-she-doesn’t-feel-like-that-about-me but perhaps 35yo’s do marinate in it like that. All in all, this was a quick read, warm an...

Book: If We Were Us ( K.L. Walther, @klwalther9 )

💥 My overall review:
Luke alone was the reason I finished this book.

His sarcastic comments made me laugh every time. I really liked the relationships once some of the characters (*cough* Charlie *cough* and Sage *cough*) got their lives together.

The overall story might have taken a little for me to get into and understand the world of Bexley, but once I did I didn’t want to put the book down. Not to mention how pure the friendships were in this book, I loved it.

Born in the 1940s, Edmund knew he was gay from a young age, and thanks to attitudes of the time, believed he had to be cured in order to be a successful writer.

Sargassa by Sophie Burnham is a wild ride. Took me a hot minute to get into it, but then I was entirely invested. Loved the premise, the queer / gender bending characters, the action and the hard choices made. #bookreview #queerbooks #bookrecommendation https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2025/08/book-review-sargassa-by-sophie-burnham.html?m=1
