Reviews for August 2025 Releases

To make things easier to navigate, I thought I would aggregate all of my reviews for books released within a month. For books that are published this month and I have yet to read (listed below), I will add them to this post as soon as I write a review.

We Are All Guilty Here

Welcome to North Falls—a small town where everyone knows everyone. Or so they think. Until the night of the fireworks. When two teenage girls vanish, and the town ignites.

A chance at love might not be out of this world in this astronomically charming romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of Love and Other Conspiracies.
