"Wasn’t expecting Dworkin’s views on the looming shadow of nuclear annihilation over American life in the early 1960s, but I’m here for them. It is something I think people who didn’t live through it are largely unaware of." Feb 24, 2026 12:01AM

"Sherry Thomas is the shit! Great balance of manipulative characters who engage in lots of game-playing without straying into the realm of true brutality. Good flirtation and the whole Anne Boleyn-Henry VIII dynamic with the lust and refusal to act on it. Really like this a lot." Dec 31, 2025 12:12AM

"Honestly delightful. The chemistry between Harriet and LPW is more satisfying than any romance novel I have read in forever and gotta love the cloistered setting of the women’s college." Nov 23, 2025 11:25PM
