This thought-provoking and passionate debut novel is my latest book obsession. It’s a workplace romance, but so much more! It’s an opposites-attract, but on a deeper level. And it’s funny! Really, really funny. Ms. Rabess has a very keen ear for authentic dialogue. At first glance, this book is about two young people at… Keep Reading
The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
Full confession: I’m an Ashley Audrain super fan. When ‘The Push’ was released, I told every friend, co-worker and family member to read it. I also bought a signed copy for my bookshelf. So when ‘The Whispers’ was announced, it went to the top of my most anticipated books of the year. And I’m happy… Keep Reading
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
You don’t have to be a “book person” to love this thought-provoking and biting story about a plagiarist.

June Hayward is a… Keep Reading

Another sensational summer read by author Carley Fortune! I devoured her debut novel last year, Every Summer After.

Fern and Will spent an amazing day together in Toronto ten years… Keep Reading
ROMANTIC COMEDY by CURTIS SITTENFELD
I have never read Curtis Sittenfeld so 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱𝘆 was a wonderful surprise. This is the smart, thoughtful, funny and moving story I didn’t know I needed.

ADELAIDE by GENEVIEVE WHEELER
I just finished the audiobook of Adelaide and I am not over it! This is the book I wish I had in my late twenties. It’s giving ‘Normal People’ and early Colleen Hoover. This is a love story but not a traditional one. This is an unrequited love story which actually has a beautiful… Keep Reading
