📚 REVIEW: Broken Parts Included by @a.root_author

I need to start with Halle because apparently I fell in love with her approximately five minutes into this book. 😍

Butter-free popcorn. Swedish lesbian movies on the sofa while Lydia’s cramping. Taking care of her without making her feel like she needs taking care of. Just showing up and paying attention. Being generally so fucking lovely that I was ready to fight anyone who so much as mildly inconvenienced her. The woman is a walking green flag and I’m 100% here for her! 🤌🏼

And Lydia deserves every bit of it.

I also really loved seeing a sapphic romance put women’s health so firmly on the page. Chronic pain, being dismissed when you know something isn’t right with your own body, and the knock-on effect that can have on body image and self-worth. Especially that horrible feeling that somehow your body makes you harder to love. There was something very real about seeing all of that alongside the romance.

And then… Fe. WTAF, Fe?! 😨😅

This woman tested me. Repeatedly. The urge to climb into my Kindle and ask her what on earth she was doing was so very real!

Do I have some sympathy for a woman dealing with THREE TRIPLETS and a partner who’s basically MIA? Unfortunately, yes. I’ve recently survived a holiday with a three-year-old and a four-year-old niece. I’ve seen things. I understand the struggle. 😂

But still, Fe. STILL!

Anyway, back to the important matter at hand - Halle. 😍 No notes. Would marry.

Great read and really glad I picked this one up. This is what I love most about buddy-reads, they encourage you to pick up books you might never have read otherwise.

🧡🤍🩷 SINGLE PARENT SUNDAY 🩷🤍🧡

Oh, you thought you were falling for ONE person? That’s so adorable.

Give me the single parents.
Give me the tiny matchmakers with absolutely zero chill.
Give me the “I fancy Mum… wait, why am I now emotionally invested in this tinier human too?”

One minute she’s flirting with Mum, the next the kid’s claimed her, and everyone but the two women involved can see exactly where this is going.

And then comes that dangerous little moment when it’s not just her she’s falling for anymore. It’s both of them, maybe even three of them, could there be even more?

Excuse me, did my heart even have room for all of this? Apparently it did. My TBR certainly fucking didn’t.

Drop your favourite sapphic single-parent romances below, because I’m obsessed!

Halloween hasn’t even happened and I’ve already defected. 🎃➡️🎄

🎄 ARC REVIEW: Deck the Hauls by @elizabethlulyauthor

If you could wrap a sapphic Hallmark Christmas movie up in a book and stick it under my tree, it would be Deck the Hauls. 🎁

Christmas trees. Ice skating. Christmas markets. Gingerbread cookies. A festive movie being filmed on a farm. AND LESBIANS! Honestly, at this point you could slap a Santa hat on a sapphic romance and I’m seated. You’ll all see soon enough as we head towards Christmas… zero apologies! 😅

And because apparently Christmas wasn’t already doing enough heavy lifting for me, we also get grumpy x sunshine, one of the most entertaining tropes! Christmas-loving actress Emily bringing ALL the festive cheer while Dana would quite happily cancel the entire season. Naturally, I was rooting for Emily to Christmas the grump right out of her! 🎄💁🏻‍♀️

This was such a warm hug of a read. Sweet, cosy and delightfully cheesy in exactly the way a good Hallmark Christmas movie should be, with a lovely slow-burn romance and enough emotion underneath all the festive sparkle to give it a little more depth.

Did I spend half the book wanting to climb inside it purely because CHRISTMAS? Obviously. 🎄

Cute, cosy, sapphic festive goodness - and a lovely one to curl up with as we head into Christmas season. ❤️

👆🏼I say this because I’m useless at horror and Halloween, so you lot need to hit me up with your recs and see if you can drag me to the dark side! 🖤💀

Thank you for the ARC! ✨

Well, The Herd has been stampeding about for the last couple of months and we thought you should meet us as a collective.

We spend our time in a group chat creating

We've formed a dysfunctional beautiful family lmao
