My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Vengeance Planning for Amateurs

KJ Sweeney ❤️ loved this book because...

From the moment that I picked up Vengeance Planning for Amateurs, I was hooked. I loved everything about this book, from the crazy attempts by Olivia to get revenge on her ex-partners with Margaret's help, to the stuffed penguin trip that Olivia usually had by her side, this book was so funny. I loved the romance between Olivia and Margaret too, they were so well-suited and made such a great couple.
This was a brilliant book and I loved it.

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of A Bride for the Winter King

KJ Sweeney ❤️ loved this book because...

Lori is a fantastic character. She's feisty and brave and doesn't let anyone push her around. Elio is a fantastic match for her, although it does take them quite a while to admit that to themselves. I love enemies to lovers and this one certainly is that.
