Telling you what you actually want to know, with insider information about:

- Kindle Unlimited status
- And more
How It Works
At What She Reads, we’re focused on giving you the book details that matter most.
We know how hit-or-miss recommendations can be when someone hasn’t actually read the story—and life’s too short for bad books! Whether you’re prioritizing your TBR or looking for new reads based on spice level, tropes, or content, we get that these things can be subjective. That’s why we work hard to keep our reviews consistent and real, so you can feel confident about diving into your next favorite book.
Search for Books By:
Some readers love spice, others prefer to avoid it.
Our recommendations are ranked by spice level, so you can pick what’s right for you.
Looking for a single-dad romance? Avoiding the “accidental pregnancy” trope? How about a forced-proximity, roommates-to-lovers situation or a “touch her and die” vibe?
We tag every trope we can recall in our recommendations.
Audiobook lovers, we’ve got you covered! Not all audiobooks are created equal. Find your next listen based on whether it’s duet, single, dual-POV, or full-cast narration.
