I loved watching both Alden and Conrad open up and really start to think about what their future looks like. I will say, if you're the kind of person that minds fade-to-black, this is fade to black- so walk in with that knowledge. I am a sucker for a road trip romance and the "only one bed" trope and this one certainly delivers that. So, like, when do you do the thing you're supposed to be doing all the time? While I understood nothing about the game, I loved that it was included and such a big part of the book. So many times I read a "sports" romance, where there's actually no sport on the page. I enjoyed this book so much!! I will say, the game play did play a large part in the book, and it mostly all went over my head, but also, I really liked that they actually played the thing they played on the page. If you're looking for something cute and adorable to pick up this summer, look no further than Conventionally Yours. All the light and fluffy cuteness you need ![]()

First and foremost, a large thank you to NetGalley, Chuck Wendig, Ballantine Del Rey and Random House for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ten years later, Phyllis LeBlanc has given up everything-not just her own past, and Dev, the man she loved, but even her own dreams.

While “The Institute” may not have the dark majesty of “It” or “The Stand”, it’s definitely a page-turner. His genre means he’s perhaps not taken seriously enough in some quarters, but he rarely disappoints. Just like death and taxes, it’s inevitable that I will read anything Stephen King writes. I was pretty excited when “The Institute” arrived on my local book shelf. Sign up to our Weekly newsletter Subscribe to our magazine for more great content ![]() |
