Even when I think the setting or timeline isn’t really going to be my thing, she draws me in like few authors can and I’m hooked and satisfied by the end. In fact, I’ve never read just one of her books and always end up getting more! The Letter Tree was absolutely no exception and may be my favorite of hers so far!...more

I’ll admit the psycho boyfriend trope isn’t generally my favorite and I spent majority of the book convinced I already knew the ending and then was sorely disappointed to be wrong. Still a good way to wrap up the series and, again, I wasn’t really here for the plot anyway ...more

I am a SUCKER for a hot Asian male character, but he’s a doctor, too?!? Ana Huang’s writing isn’t fair. Badass female lead who also happens to be a complete bombshell that falls for her best friend’s brother? Sold. Add the spice level of an habanero and this one was GOOD....more
I knew the second I started reading this that I would want the audio instead and I’m so glad I made the switch! Curtis is relatable and raw and honestI knew the second I started reading this that I would want the audio instead and I’m so glad I made the switch! Curtis is relatable and raw and honest while still presenting his harrowing tales hilariously! As a child to immigrants, I could relate so much but also lear ed about his culture’s unique challenges. A great memoir!...more

Writing style? Solid. Characters? Enjoyable. But can we talk about the spice??? SO good. Twisted Love falls easily in the best friend’s sibling trope and is very much grumpy/sunshine, but it’s just so well-executed that I didn’t mind it’s predictability. Plus, I wasn’t really in it for the plot ...more
