REVIEW: Now That You Mention It by Kristan Higgins

JayneB Reviews / Book ReviewsContemporary / Doctor / dysfunctional family / family relationships / Maine / Ugly Duckling / Womens-Fiction6 Comments

One step forward. Two steps back. The Tufts scholarship that put Nora Stuart on the path to becoming a Boston medical specialist was a step forward. Being hit by a car and then overhearing her boyfriend hit on another doctor when she thought she was dying? Two major steps back. ... more >

REVIEW: The Theory of Deviance by Rebecca Grace Allen

KaetrinB Reviewsbipolar / bisexual / Contemporary / depression / Erotic-Romance / Maine / menage / mental illness / queerComments Off on REVIEW: The Theory of Deviance by Rebecca Grace Allen

Dear Rebecca Grace Allen, I was so excited when I read an early excerpt of The Theory of Deviance. I tweeted you to confirm that the story in fact was m/m/f menage (my favourite kind) and when you said yes and offered me a review copy, I snapped it up. ... more >

REVIEW: Fracture by Megan Miranda

JiaB+ ReviewsBloomsbury / friends-to-lovers / Maine / Recommended Reads / Young-Adult13 Comments

Dear Ms. Miranda, At first impression, your debut novel is a YA paranormal. It has a lot of the trappings. After a life-changing event, a girl develops unusual abilities. She has to choose between a couple guys. But I think applying that label and reducing it to those tropes does ... more >
