    Content warnings: mention of death of a side character’s parent

    Beyond the Lights is a cute novella with great potential. I liked the premise but the writing style threw me off a little and the plot was a bit more absurd than I had expected.

    Sawyer Johnson (23) is convinced that she is in love with actress Amy Mitchell, whom she has never met before. When she announces her plan of going cross-country to find Amy, her best friend Autumn Thompson (~23, lesbian), who is secretly in love with Sawyer, decides to tag along, hoping for some quality time together. All plans go out the window as they run into Amy filming a movie in a small town in Montana.

    All the Paths to You (All the Worlds Between Us #2) by Morgan Lee Miller

    Quinn Hughes and Kennedy Reed had known each other since they were seven. Before heading off to college, they made a pact: if their paths crossed again after college, they would try to date each other again.

    At twenty three, Quinn was heading to Tokyo Olympics for five swimming events. Right before she left San Francisco, East-Coast Kennedy happened to visit the city and sparks flew. That had to be a sign that they should date again, right?

    Post-Olympics Quinn was not a happy Quinn, but she had Kennedy. As everything else in Quinn’s life came crashing down, would Kennedy be her anchor, or would she lose everything she had ever wanted?

    All the Worlds Between Us (All the Worlds Between Us #1) by Morgan Lee Miller

    Quinn Hughes never knew why her best friend Kennedy Reed broke off contact after moving away and refused to acknowledge her after moving back. It had been four years since that goodbye peck on the lips when they were thirteen.

    Since then, Quinn had came out, failed to qualify for the Olympics, and did her best to move on from losing her best friend. When she ran into Kennedy in the restroom at a party, they really faced each other for the first time in four years.

    But Quinn could not allow herself to be side-tracked when the swimming World Championships were coming up. Plus, Kennedy had acted that she did not exist for the past four years. Could they pick up from where they left off and be best friends again? Or whatever it was that they were both feeling? With Quinn’s twin brother Liam also crushing on Kennedy, things were destined to end up in a mess. Right?

    Just Three Words (Soho Loft #2) by Melissa Brayden

    Of late, I’ve been reading a lot of wlw (women-loving-women) romance novels. Approximately 1-book-per-day kind of “a lot” for a month straight. Or not so straight. Must be a quarter-life crisis thing since I pretty much never read romance in the past. I have yet to read one fall-in-love-with-best-friend story. Until now.
