Character-driven stories with beautiful writing and deeper themes
Devoured this in two days and almost screamed out loud in public at the end 😅Truly so good. Part romance, part twisty plot thriller that keeps you turning the page.
Broken Country (Reese's Book Club)|Hardcover
In my top two of TJR novels. Loved the 1980s space program setting & held my breath wondering what would happen until the very last page.
Atmosphere: A Love Story (GMA Book Club Pick)|Hardcover
Rarely do I LOL while reading a book, but this narrator was truly so perfect. Heartwarming story about grief & love told through 2nd-person narration.
Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance: A Novel|Paperback
Atmospheric novel set on a remote island off Antarctica where a mysterious woman washes ashore. Couldn’t stop turning the page - reads like a thriller but has so much depth around family trauma, grief, & love.
Wild Dark Shore: A Novel|Hardcover
How do you recommend a book when you’re not entirely sure what happened in the plot? That’s my experience with Audition, and yet, the writing hooked me. Ultimately, it’s a beautiful story about how we work to control our identity and the world’s perc...
Audition: A Novel|Hardcover
One of my absolute favorite books. Irreverent, funny, & deeply relatable at points. A woman decides to drive across country, but ultimately stops her journey close to home where she decides to blow up her life in the most amazing fashion.
All Fours: A Novel|Paperback
Such a unique, sliding doors type story about the reverberating effect even the smallest decisions we make can have on our lives. Three parallel stories told over the course of the book based on the name the character chose for her son.
The Names (A Read with Jenna Pick)|Hardcover
Vacay Reads
Pack these on your next trip!
Carley Fortune does it again. Such a little treat of a book. I read this in two days and will be thinking about Charlie for a longggg time. A sort of sequel to Every Summer After, this book is sexy, flirty, heartfelt, and sweet all at once. Perfect v...
One Golden Summer|Hardcover
Drool-worthy descriptions of the sights, smells, and tastes of Italy, plus a sexy romance… what more could you want in a vacation read? Ali Hazelwood is known for raising the spice-level bar & this is no exception!
Problematic Summer Romance|Paperback
Gosh, I loved this book so much. The sweetest love story told in a past/present timeline. There’s a great twist at the end I did not see coming. The setting at a lake in Canada is dreamy.
Every Summer After|Paperback
This book is like a piece of candy. Short, easy read, perfect for vacation. A woman unexpectedly connects with her teenage boy band crush when he offers her an opportunity she can’t refuse.
Big Fan: An 831 Stories Romance|Paperback
Celeb Memoirs
Can’t help it, I love a celebrity memoir
The coziest memoir all about Ina’s life & career growing the Barefoot Contessa. I absolutely loved the food descriptions and immediately bought her first cookbook after finishing this up.
Be Ready When the Luck Happens: A Memoir|Hardcover
The memoir that got me started on my celebrity memoir adoration. Jessica is authentic and vulnerable. Plus, there’s a lot of fun, juicy early-2000s gossip. Highly recommend.
