yam’s recs + reviews

completed! romance, drama, historical fiction

two characters dance on the cusp of economic status - the wealthy edward carter, who is still just a commoner, and the noblewoman liliana fence, whose family is in deep debt. great pacing, great fashion, amazing character arcs. it’s for darcy enjoyers and real enemies-to-lovers fans. they have real life reasons to hate and resent each other, yet they’re the only ones who can understand each other. they can’t help but be tied together! ugh!!!! 9/10

ongoing. sci fi, action, psychological, romance

in the future, a post-apocalyptic community grapples with its declining population. how do you look forward to the hopeless future when you are haunted by the distant past? a girl is revived from cryosleep and is suddenly faced with the responsibility of being the head commander of the bunker’s military division. the worldbuilding is delicious and it is mere background to women being toxic to each other. i love it!!! 9/10!

completed. romance, high school

a sweet and simple romance! the artwork is so solid and i just really like the chemistry between these two characters. their relationship was so thoughtful and #real and it’s obvious the illustrator took such careful note of the expressions… it’s such an endearing story of two childhood friends who fake date their way into falling in love. the side couple is saur cute and natural too!! 8/10
