To Sir, with Love by Lauren Layne
3.5 stars

This book contemporary romance is a cute take on You've Got Mail with likable main and side characters.  I found myself wishing that we had some chapters from Sebastian's point of view, or at least maybe more scenes with him, because while he was perfectly nice, I don't feel like he is very well fleshed out.  Overall, this is a fun read, though.  I am appreciative to NetGalley and Gallery books for a complimentary digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

A Duke in Time (The Widow Rules #1) by Janna MacGregor

3 stars

Kat is a widow with a secret past and Christian is a duke with a scandalous family history, they meet under unusual circumstances and form an unmistakable bond.  I enjoyed this historical romance and found the main characters sweet.  There wasn't a lot of slow burn to the relationship, which I prefer, but instead just a sweet story of two people who need love.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

She Memes Well: Essays by Quinta Brunson

4 stars

I had never heard of the author before I picked up this book (I'm probably too old to know internet sensations) so I wasn't sure what to expect.  Quinta Brunson is a comedian who is best known for her internet content such as memes, Instagram stories and BuzzFeed videos.  This is a collection of essays about her life which are both funny and incredibly charming.  I was thoroughly entertained the entire time reading this book.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
