Welcome to Two Halves, One Brian!
We’re excited to have you here! Two Halves, One Brian consists of two besties, Ronni and Shayna, who just enjoy reading and talking about books. Our goal is to provide a fun and open space to discuss ANY book, trope, topic, etc. without judgement. I’m looking at you, smut readers and dark romance lovers!😉
We read all the genres and give our honest input on the things we loved about each book, as well as the things we didn’t. Every opinion provided is our own and we will always strive to provide our genuine thoughts without putting down an author or their work.
We would love to connect with anyone else who lives in fantasy more than reality. If you’re interested, feel free to comment or send us an email any time!
Unsure where to start?
No problem! If you’d like to get to know us a little first, check out our About Us page:

We do have all our posts separated by whichever reviewer created it. If you find you prefer one reviewer’s opinions over another, click on their name below and see all the books they’ve read and reviewed!
