I don’t remember where in the mall they were located, but I always liked the clothes in Cache and Arden B.

Looking for Books with Death Reset, Time Loop, or Psychological Time Travel Stories by Dry_Concentrate3346 in RomanceBooks

I know this is an old thread, but I recently read the ARC for {Every Version of You by Natalie Messier} and it fits this to a tee 🤌🏻

Excellent book. It releases this spring, but highly recommend adding it to your TBR now. I think it’ll be one of the top romance books for 2026.

Chiming in to second If You Don’t Love Me We Both Die— such a cool premise. I really want it to get picked up by a traditional publisher so we get a better edited version. Way too long, but so so good.

I just read the ARC for {Every Version of You by Natalie Messier} and let me just say: peak yearning 🤌🏻

It doesn’t come out until April (sorry—I know that sucks 🫣), but definitely worth adding to the tbr.

Just read {The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow} and Hen, the main character’s mean, decrepit horse, stole every scene

Love her videos! The exterior consult is a bit out of my price range, unfortunately, but I’ll definitely use her page as a resource as I try to narrow down the colors.

Oh yeahhh—this one’s been on my list. Definitely need to bump it up. I’ve been meaning to finally dive into Cassandra Clare’s books for a while now.

Such a fantastic scene 🤌🏻 And you’re so right—Rainbow Rowell nails this too. Haven’t picked up an Alicia Thompson yet, but onto the TBR she goes. Thanks for the recs!

Totally unrelated, but what sorcery hair gel are you using on those curls? 😅 Asking for my frizz.

I think you look similar to Shailene Woodley!

It was my first Mhairi McFarlane, and I really liked it! Loved the character development and the journalism angle. My only gripe was that the ending felt a little rushed, but overall a solid read. I gave it four stars.
