It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover


It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover

Genre: Adult Fiction

Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. I read through this book so furiously. As always, Colleen Hoover is an easy, enjoyable read. I really liked learning more about Atlas' past and meeting his mother. Finally, we have a cute Lily + Atlas ending!

She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott

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! 

With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo

With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo  Genre: Young Adult Fiction Ever since she got pregnant freshman year, Emoni Santiago has been doing what has to be done for her daughter and her abuela. The one place she can let all that go is in the kitchen, where she adds a little something magical to everything she cooks, turning her food into straight-up goodness. I simply require a sequel to see where Emoni goes after high school. This book was so cute I couldn't stop reading! Despite there being no real plot, I found myself eager to keep reading. I wanted to know what Emoni cooked next or hear what 'Buela's next piece of advice would be. Sometimes it's nice to pick up a fluff book after reading depressing novels for so long. This was 100% the feel-good book that I needed.  - Emily

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by Lewis Hancox

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by Lewis Hancox Genre: Young Adult Graphic Novel In this graphic novel, Lewis Hancox takes us on the path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt, and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be. I loved the way this one was written with future Lewis beside his past self reassuring the reader that everything worked out in the end. It helped keep everything light and enjoyable. Too often I find myself getting sad when reading trans stories because they tend to get really dark until their transition. Future Lewis made that discomfort easier to bear.  I really enjoyed the art style for this one as well. - Emily
