Hello bookworms! Another month has flown by, and with it, another stack of books added to the reading pile. If you’re on the hunt for March 2025 book reviews, you’re in the right place. Here’s what I read this month and what I thought of each title. I managed to make time for five books in March, and it’s been a fun mix of escapism, romance, sci-fi, and something a little more raw and real. A little bit of everything—just how I like it.
Let’s dive into what I read this month…
March 2025 book reviews
The Sublet – Greer Hendricks
A dark and twisty tale to kick off the month. The Sublet had me hooked with its slightly sinister undertones and unreliable narrator vibes. It’s one of those books that makes you second-guess everything and everyone. I couldn’t decide if I was more intrigued or unsettled—which, for a psychological thriller, is always a good sign. It’s clever, slow-burning, and well-paced. If you’re looking for intense, atmospheric reads in your March 2025 Book Reviews, this one is worth noting.
Beach Read – Emily Henry
Yes, I’m very late to the Emily Henry party—but what a party it is! Beach Read was everything I wanted it to be: smart, heartfelt, and just the right amount of emotional. January and Gus made me laugh, made me swoon, and made me stay up far too late reading “just one more chapter.” I finally understand the hype and I’m already lining up her backlist for the rest of the year. It’s a great addition to this month’s March 2025 Book Reviews, and perfect if you’re craving a thoughtful but feel-good romance.
How Was It for You?: Stories from a Sex Worker – Eve Smith
This collection took a turn into something raw, honest, and thought-provoking. Eve Smith shares a series of vignettes from her experience as a sex worker, and it’s written with incredible clarity and compassion. There’s no judgement here—just lived experience, reflection, and powerful storytelling. Some pieces are funny, some are heartbreaking, and many will stay with me for a long time. It’s a brilliant read if you’re open to something a bit different and unapologetically real. If you’re compiling your own March 2025 Book Reviews, this one stands out for its unique voice and real-life insight.
A Million Junes – Emily Henry
Yes, another Emily Henry! I wanted to see how her YA work stacked up against her adult romance novels, and A Million Junes didn’t disappoint. This one leans more magical realism than rom-com, with a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere and some seriously emotional depth. It’s a story about grief, memory, and first love, with just enough folklore woven in to give it a dreamy, almost fairytale feel. So different from Beach Read, but equally gorgeous. A strong contender in my personal list of March 2025 Book Reviews.
The Martian – Andy Weir
A complete change of pace! I finally got round to reading The Martian after years of it sitting on my TBR. It’s smart, fast-paced, and packed with science—but Weir makes it accessible and fun. I found myself weirdly emotional about potatoes. Mark Watney is such a brilliantly written character—witty, resilient, and incredibly likeable. It’s definitely one of the more entertaining survival stories I’ve read, and I loved the mix of humour and high-stakes drama. It’s definitely one of the more entertaining survival stories I’ve read. A highlight of my March 2025 Book Reviews, without a doubt.
So there we have it—five very different reads, but all worth recommending in their own ways. My March 2025 book reviews ranged from laugh-out-loud moments to emotional gut-punches and everything in between. My March highlights? I adored the Martian and was pleasantly surprised by A Million Junes. And How Was It for You? was the standout in terms of pushing me out of my comfort zone. Out of everything I picked up this month, The Martian was hands-down my favourite—funny, gripping, and surprisingly heartwarming.
