  If you are looking for a summer romance that takes places by a body of water, this is a good choice. There is a lot of character development and good dialogue. There is also a little bit of a mystery with one of the main characters which kept the story interesting. I tend to read more historical fiction and mystery where there is a good plot development, but this book was entertaining enough. A solid choice for your next vacation read.

  A woman recounts the story of the two men she fell in love with during college and how they affected the course of her life. A deeply emotional story of devotion and lost love.

  Performance artist Taylor Mac sets the events of his play in the aftermath of the bloodshed at the end of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. Gary is a clown who is promoted to maid, forced to clean up the dead bodies that line the stage along with Janice. Insanity ensues.

 Cute rom-com about two people who fake a marriage to inherit money, but end up actually falling in love -- all while "on vacation on a beautiful island."

 Mystery told from multiple POVs, twists throughout the book!

 Booktok romantasy filled with fae, shifters, and budding romances.

  This is a cozy winter read. It is a historical fiction and murder mystery set in the winter months of Maine back in the 1700s. Inspired by the diaries of Martha Ballard, a real-life midwife from the 1700s, the story is told by Martha as she tries to solve a murder and rape in her community. The book gives a very vivid depiction of everyday life of individuals living in small communities back then and how the newly-formed legal system dished out "justice," especially for the women. With twists and turns and descriptions of the surrounding winter scenery, this book is entertaining and worth the read.

  This book had a really interesting premise/mystery with a really boring answer. I also know she is famous for a last minute twist and even that wasn’t super well thought out. With that being said, it was still a page turner and I had fun with it.

  This was an inspiring true story of a young woman's resilience and strength in the face of trauma. Ms. Nguyen tells her story in an innovative way speaking through herself at various ages., 5, 15, 22 and 30. Her fight for change resulted in Congress passing the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act in 2016. It is a story of never giving up hope!
