"From the very first page, Jamaica Inn had me completely hooked. It's unputdownable—fast-paced, action-packed, and drenched in atmosphere. Daphne du Maurier’s writing is absolutely beautiful, with a lyrical quality that seamlessly weaves the wild, windswept moors into the emotional fabric of the story. The landscape isn't just a backdrop—it's a living, breathing character of its own, full of brooding tension and mystery.

The way the weather mirrors the characters’ inner turmoil is masterful, adding layers of depth to an already rich narrative. The sense of place is so vivid, I could practically feel the cold wind and see the mist curling over the moors. After finishing the book, I was left with a longing to visit Jamaica Inn in real life.

Mary Yellan, our heroine, is fierce and compelling. At times, she slips into familiar female tropes of the era, but you can sense her resistance—her yearning for independence and change. She’s strong, smart, and determined, and it’s her spirit that drives the heart of the story.

If you love atmospheric mysteries with strong female leads and hauntingly beautiful prose, Jamaica Inn is a must-read"

Okay… TWO rival divorce lawyers secretly hooking up while battling in court??? Yeah I need this.
I’ve read two books by Lana before and had mixed feelings, but this premise?? It’s giving.

💼 Enemies-to-Lovers.
💘 Enemies-with-Benefits.
💼 Divorce lawyers falling in love while destroying marriages.
💘 He falls so hard first.
💼 Grumpy×Sunshine—but SHE’S the grump???
Yeah this is sounding like my kind of mess.

I’m going in with cautious hopes but these tropes?? They’re already winning the case.

Here’s to hoping the angst hits, the spice delivers, and Ezra gets me wrecked emotionally 😌🫶"
