The Invincible Summer of Juniper Jones by Daven McQueen
This was an intense book. I laughed, I fumed, and I sobbed. Upon finishing, I had to sit back to compose myself.
Flavor of the Month by Georgia Beers
Charlie Stetko and Emma Grier were best friends since they were eight. Later, they were each other’s first love and first everything. As Charlie graduated from college, leaving for Manhattan with a successful businesswoman who then became her girlfriend, she subsequently broke off contact with Emma for years, leaving the latter’s heart in pieces. Now that Charlie was dumped and broke, she headed back to her hometown Shaker Falls as a last resort. With Charlie working at a bakery baking pies across from Emma’s restaurant, the pair needed to figure out their own feelings, thoughts, and priorities.
The Mercenary’s Daughter by Jessica Therrien, Joe Gazzam
This book was definitely not what I had expected. I was annoyed if not angry at the usage of “exotic” on Andy, so let’s just say The Mercenary’s Daughter did not leave a great first impression. However, plot-wise, it really amazed me. It was exciting and made my heart thump.
What the Heart Remembers Most by M. Ullrich
Love was waning, and the seventeen-year relationship between Jax Levine and Gretchen Mills was no longer worth fighting for. The last few years of their marriage had been hellish. But after an accident that left Gretchen unconscious in the hospital for days, she woke up to Jax sitting by her bedside and without memories of the past three-and-a-half years. She couldn’t figure out what broke their marriage apart or what memories were real. Would this incident be the almost-clean slate the soon-to-be ex-wives needed to love again?
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.
