Romance and fantasy reviews with heart, heat, and a touch of Whimsy

You’ll only find honest to goodness reviews here. My personal impression of the worldbuilding, character development, chemistry, writing style, fangirl moments, and spice. It’s light, fun, and a little sexy because reading brings me joy and I hope to share that with any and all who will read on.

Meet the Book Enthusiast Behind Sonder with Me

I built Sonder with Me as a cozy, slightly chaotic corner to gush, gripe, and blush about the stories that move me. If you love romance, fantasy, or anything that lingers after “the end,” you’re in the right place. This is my love letter to books that linger — the tender, the spicy, the strange. Come wander with me; I promise good company and better stories.
