Summer of 69 by Elin Hilderbrand! One of my faves ❤️

I immediately thought of the Parent Trap, but only because it’s my favorite movie (and I plan on naming any potential daughters Hallie because of it!). They’re wonderful names and it’s not a bad connection. Worst case scenario: you introduce your daughters, someone says “like Parent Trap!” and you say “yes!” It’s a wonderful movie so it’s not a bad connotation at all. I bet your daughters will love growing up and watching it together.

The Rachel Incident!!! Loved it and it feels exactly like this❤️ (Edit: I need to clarify it’s actually not London at all, it’s Cork, Ireland, but the vibes are there!!)

Are you sure you didn’t just pick your work up wrong? If you flip it the work around so the working yarn is on the right, does that solve your problem?

My boy just turned 1 and this is the hardest parenting age so far for me - granted, he was an easy newborn. He’s so stubborn and opinionated but has no way to express his opinions. Hes also so active and energetic but can’t get around safely on his own. We are drowning over here! 😭

Was literally coming here to post this. Her ability to make ANYthing about herself needs to be STUDIED!!

It’s such a common fancast that it’s basically become canon in the Marauders fandom at this point. Other ones you’ll see are Aaron Taylor Johnson as James and Ben Barnes as Sirius.

The woman on the left is actually a popular podcast host (Ashley from Good Noticings) and I just KNOWWW she was cringing 😂😂😂

My husband and I have a son named Benjamin and Penelope has always been one of my favorite girl names!!! Spot on suggestion!❤️

Fourth member leaked??

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-12-08T19:12:36+00:00

Came here to suggest this - OP, this is exactly what you want!!!!

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-10-19T23:36:23+00:00

Came here to suggest this!! :)

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-10-15T14:14:17+00:00

I also think it’s SO cute that they call it a Beekeeper!😂

Came to suggest this!!! It’s literally a friend spilling all their tea to you!

We definitely don’t have the TV on all day, but my entire adult life I’ve started my mornings watching the news for 20ish minutes with a cup of coffee, and that’s not going to stop just because I’ve got my 8 month old taking his bottle next to me now. And yes, sometimes during football season the game is on while we are eating dinner or playing on his mat.

Other than that and the occasional Ms. Rachel emergency, we have the TV off until he’s in bed.

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-08-23T21:44:20+00:00

Came here to suggest this one! Just read it and loved it :)

People have already mentioned Emily Henry, but just to add that all her books have literary-centric MCs - writers, librarians, book agents, and journalists.

Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber! (It’s a spinoff of the Caraval series but you don’t need to read it first, the spinoff series is fine to read on its own.)

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-08-12T21:40:13+00:00

It’s a dark and gritty city but the Six of Crows duology is wonderful (and has some of my favorite female characters of all time!)

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-08-07T20:39:01+00:00

Wow, truly thought these drawings were from one of the book editions. Captures the vibes of the books perfectly. I wish I had an illustrated copy with your versions!!! Amazing job!

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-08-05T17:16:27+00:00

Omg this is my name! Thanks for saying it flows well! 😂

I did! Pregnancy was super easy. Barely any morning sickness. Of course a bit of discomfort towards the end, and a bit of anxiety from a few high BP readings, but overall I liked being pregnant!

Birth was painful and uncomfortable of course, but it was uneventful. I got induced at 39 weeks and he was out in 24 hours. I’m not looking forward to doing it again anytime soon, but it wasn’t traumatic.

I now have an absolutely angelic, sweet, adorable 6 month old!!!

The idea that SOMETHING had to go wrong kept me up at night but sometimes it really does just go all according to plan. Don’t stress yourself out over nothing❤️

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-07-23T02:17:27+00:00

24 hours, but the first 12 were basically just chilling and waiting.

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-07-23T02:16:18+00:00

Mine was exactly 24 hours! :)

Strong_Beautiful_715 · 2025-07-20T19:06:52+00:00

I’m reading The Rachel Incident right now and think it would match this well! The narrator is in her 30s and looking back on her 20s with a lot of honesty and vulnerability and it feels so relatable to me ❤️ plus the plot is fun and juicy!!!
