Finding Yourself in the Middle of the Mess
Format: Paperback
Bed and Breakup by Susie Dumond is one of those reads that feels fun on the surface but hits deeper when you least expect it. The setup pulls you in quickly, but what keeps you reading is how real the emotional journey feels. The main character is figuring things out in a way that feels honest and a little messy, which makes it easy to stay invested. There is humor, but it does not take away from the growth and self-awareness that builds over time. The relationships feel grounded, not rushed, and you can see the shift in how she shows up for herself.

Cute
Format: Paperback
This was a cute Sapphic romcom set in eureka springs Arkansas. Molly and Robin are so cute together and I love all three characters. The diversity is done very well and I love the tidbits about the town lore and how an old inn could bring these two lovebirds back together after so many years apart.

Cute way to pass the time
Format: Paperback
Thank you to Dial Press Trade Paperback and NetGalley for the ARC of this novel. I thought this was really cute and a fun way to pass the time. I am a fan of Food Network cooking shows so it was a way to see behind the scenes a bit for the reality behind reality TV. The inn itself sounded lovely and seeing Molly and Robin grow apart and then back together was what I wanted from the book. The ending did feel abrupt but for the most part, enjoyable. 3.5 stars.

A roller coaster ride!
Format: Kindle
Such an emotional story but did really enjoy the town this story was based in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Such a peaceful beautiful town.
Molly and Robin were married but split up and had lived apart for seven years. They owned the Hummingbird Inn and Molly came back there to stay for a while but realized Robin had moved back in there earlier. I loved the antics that these two played on one another and you could tell they really still loved one another but both had too much baggage. They were going to sell the Inn split the money and get the divorce but then feelings became involved.
I received this ARC from Netgalley for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
