Melody Joo is thrilled to land her dream job as a video game producer, but her new position comes with challenges: an insufferable CEO; sexist male coworkers; and an infuriating—yet distractingly handsome—intern, Nolan MacKenzie, aka “the guy who got hired because his uncle is the boss.” Just when Melody thinks she’s made the worst career move of her life, her luck changes. While joking with a friend, she creates a mobile game that has male strippers fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world. Suddenly Melody’s “joke” is her studio’s most high-profile project—and Melody’s running the show… Read More Loathe at First Sight by Suzanne Park (Review)

Welcome to my monthly wrap-up post for August 2020! I had this post ready to go beyond this intro section way before the end of the month. Who knew that it would take this long to write my intro?! Haha. I’m gonna blame work because I spend almost every waking moment thinking about this one… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (August 2020)
High schooler Matt’s father is rich, powerful, and seemingly untouchable– a mobster with high hopes that his son will follow in his footsteps. Matt’s older brother Lukas seems poised to do just that, with a bevy of hot girls in tow. But Matt has other ambitions–and attractions. And attraction sometimes doesn’t allow for good judgement. Matt wouldn’t have guessed that Jason, the son of the city’s police commisioner, is also carrying a secret. The boys’ connection turns romantic, a first for both. Now Matt must decide if he can ever do the impossible and come clean about who he really is, and who he is meant to love… Read More The Friend Scheme by Cale Dietrich (ARC Review)
Pinky Kumar wears the social justice warrior badge with pride. From raccoon hospitals to persecuted rock stars, no cause is too esoteric for her to champion. But a teeny-tiny part of her also really enjoys making her conservative, buttoned-up corporate lawyer parents cringe. Samir Jha might have a few . . . quirks remaining from the time he had to take care of his sick mother, like the endless lists he makes in his planner and the way he schedules every minute of every day, but those are good things. They make life predictable and steady… Read More 10 Things I Hate About Pinky by Sandhya Menon (ARC Review)

I’m a bit late with my July monthly wrap-up post, but a few days late is still better than 3 months late right? Haha. It also looks like I posted quite a few book reviews! I’ve been catching up on my reading and writing reviews it seems. Yay! How’s your reading going? Are you on track?… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (July 2020)
Welcome to my monthly TBR post for August 2020! I’m slowly catching up on things! But if you continue reading, you’ll notice that I still have to get through one book from my June monthly TBR and two books from my July monthly TBR. Overall, things aren’t looking too bad. But I can’t have any… Read More Monthly TBR: August 2020
Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits—someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom. When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it’s an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together… Read More Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert (ARC Review)
