She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott

Genre: Young Adult Romance

Your classic enemies to lovers trope that I will *never* get sick of. This dual-perspective novel follows Molly who has been crushing on the same girl for the last four years and Alex who has just had a rough breakup. Alex devises a plan to help Molly in hopes that she can prove that she's a good person to her ex so they can get back together. But once everything goes according to plan, they each start realizing that maybe this wasn't what they truly wanted...

I listened to this one as an audiobook and it gave me all the feel-goods I needed to get me through the week!

No Filter and Other Lies by Crystal Maldonado

No Filter and Other Lies by Crystal Maldonado Genre: Young Adult Fiction Seventeen-year-old Kat Sanchez uses photos of a friend to create a fake Instagram account, but when one of her posts goes viral and exposes Kat's duplicity, her entire world--both real and pretend--comes crashing down around her. Twenty one-year-old Max Monroe has it all: beauty, friends, tons of followers on Instagram. Except it's all fake. Max is actually 17-year-old Kat Sanchez, a quiet and sarcastic, bisexual Puerto Rican teenager living in Bakersfield, California. Crystal Maldonado is fantastic at character development and storytelling. The pacing is a little slow in this one, but I didn't mind. I saw a lot of myself in Kat's character and it warmed my heart to see her gain confidence throughout the book - even if it was through a fake Instagram page. - Emily

All the Blood We Share by Camilla Bruce

All the Blood We Share by Camilla Bruce Genre: Horror/Historical Fiction I have never read a book like this before - serial killers on the prairie in the 1870s. All the Blood We Share is a story of the "Bloody Benders", based on the true story of this family that operated in Kansas during this time period. The point of view alternates between a few characters, including a few of the Benders and someone from the community. A pretty graphic and disturbing read, but if you like horror (and true crime), I'd recommend this one. - Bethany

Red White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

Red White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston Genre: Adult Romance I am absolutely obsessed with this book! A queer romance story, featuring the prince of England and America's First Son. Beautiful prose, phrases that make you just stop and close your eyes and smile, and chapters that make you want to hug the book. McQuiston just released a collector's edition with an extra chapter in the back - you get to find out if they have a long term happy ending or not. Absolutely, absolutely recommend. - Bethany
