Female Fantasy

Female Fantasy

Iman Hariri-Kia

All's fair in love and lore. Joonie is living in a fantasy—at least that's what people keep telling her. A copywriter by day and fanfic auteur by night, Joonie continues to date and dump disappointing men in search of a happily ever after. But every potential suitor seems to have one flaw in They can't hold a candle to her book boyfriend, Ryke. The protagonist of her favorite fantasy romance series (and, notably, a sexy merman), Ryke is a symbol for the life Joonie craves and the kind of relationship she deserves. So with a book always in her back pocket, why would she ever settle for less? But when Joonie learns that Ryke's character is based on someone the author knows in real life, she embarks on an epic quest to track him down, meet him in person, and determine once and for all if soulmates really do exist. Unfortunately, her brother's annoying best friend who doesn't believe in love or happy endings insists on hitching a ride. And like any great hero's journey, it doesn't take long for the trials and tribulations to begin.Ā  As Joonie fights her way toward her love interest, using the skills she acquired through reading, she'll learn an important You can pursue a fantasy, but you can't always write your own plot. As unhinged as it is brilliant, Female Fantasy is both a self-aware dive into the concept of genre and a wild, steamy romp. Most of all, though, it's a heartfelt love letter to romance readers everywhere.

    Getting a book for ledger is so bittersweet for me. We saw him grow and evolve in falling in the blue hour and in every wave after. Now we get to see how he can move forward with his life.

    In true ledger fashion, he takes off sailing the east coast, alone. That is until Sloane jumps onto his boat to escape her family, forcing them to be on the run.

    Sloane is the perfect person for ledger. She’s patient, kind, and understands his past like no one else can.

    This book provided the perfect ending to these 3 stories and I’m so glad that I was able to read them!

    There was just sooooo much emotional manipulation going on that it was so very hard to read (listen to).

    Tessa was a damn fool the entire book, which just made me mad that she couldn’t open her eyes to anything that was going on around her, despite there being several signs and hints from other people.

    Harden. I have no good words for him either so I’ll leave it at that. Not continuing with the series. I’ll just watch the movies on Netflix.
