Amanda of Smart Bitches Trashy Books. Fan of nachos, games, and books.
Pretty uncool that Goodreads won’t even let me delete any Sophie Lark books off my To-Read list. Not even trying to review the book, just want to remove it from Want to Read.

I can’t believe A LOVE SONG FOR RICKI WILDE by @tiawilliams.bsky.social came out less than a year ago. It’s my pick here!
In 2024, the rom-com fractured into a million different variations (A take on “Good Luck Chuck”! A murder mystery! The queerest, sexiest food and wine tour of all time!), while a growing countermovement of more serious, emotional love stories continued to flower.

I'm slowly becoming the designated book recommender at the office and I love it. (Also, lots of romance converts!)
