What happens when a book blogger accidentally publishes her digital diary online?
A viral shitstorm, that's what. No way did I want thousands of subscribers to read my confessions--yet, that's precisely what went down last night after four too many Cosmos with my girls.
Now, Damage Control is my new middle name because my diary confessional has my roommate, Lucas Stone, written all over it.
Literally.
I've been in love with him forever--well, ever since I saw him sprint across campus naked during our first year of college.
And now that Lucas knows how I feel about him? Well, things are destined to get awkward.
Because Lucas Stone, my BFF--the man who sleeps only one room over--just got engaged.
And his fiancée isn't me.

"Turns out Anne Elliot’s my spirit animal. I too am in love with someone who shall never be mine…"

Confessions of a bookaholic is a Contemporary Standalone romance , written by Josyln Westbrook. Told in dual perspectives , this book has to be the best blend of humour and romance that you'll ever find.

This book is hands down the best contemporary romance I have ever read. I rarely read contemporary stuff because I am more on the dark and gritty side , bit something about this book intrigued me and I couldn't resist signing up for it.

Macy is truly my girl crush now. I am literally in love with her. And don't even get me started on Lucas. I don't think I have ever swooned this much over a fictional character!!

Macy and Lucas have been best friends since their childhood. Macy has been in love with him like forever but has never been able to tell him about it. A stupid pact that arose between them , a pact that binded them as just-friends , further ruined Macy's chances. So she keeps her feelings shut and tries to move on.

Everything was going fine , until Lucas proposed to his long time girlfriend. In throes of her agony and after a few shots , Macy ends up publishing her dear diary entry on her world wide famous blog. What occurs after that was an epic cluster fuck!!

Lucas reads that entry , and to say he is shocked would be an understatement. He has always had a soft spot for her, even thought of making Macy his girlfriend a while ago but he had never dreamt that she has been in love with. Now it's up to him to confront her and make a choice.

The humour in this book was so Ah-ma-zing!! I have never laughed this hard while reading a book. The ending was every bit swoony and had me blinking back happy tears!! There were some scenes Lucas in which he was the ideal book boyfriend , and omg I can't even tell you guys how perfect he is. Then there was his last stunt which hurt Macy so much. I wanted to Junk punch him so bad. But he made up for that really good!!

"now I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the—”
“Holy, S-word ,” Sage yelped.
“My water! My water just effing broke."
And as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait."

This book is recommended to all the contemporary romance lovers out there . If you want a mix of laughter and swoon-worthy romance , then this is the first book you should consider reading!!
