A Merry Little Meet Cute by Sierra Simone, Julie Murphy
4.5
The will-they-or-won’t-they was a bit too extended but otherwise this was just a delight.
Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult, Jennifer Finney Boylan
4.0
I’m glad this novel exists! The first half lagged a bit for me but I still finished it in just a few days.
Great Expectations by Vinson Cunningham
Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.

Meh. Didn’t love the distant narration.
Housemates by Emma Copley Eisenberg
3.5
Well written, but the framing device — of the story being told by a semi-mysterious narrator — really distances you from the main characters. I was hoping for something a little lighter, too, but that’s on me.
The Pairing by Casey McQuiston
4.0
Such a fun read! I found it a little hard to follow at the start, and then a little too will-they-or-won’t-they in the middle—but still thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lucky by Jackie Collins
5.0
Just absolutely delightful garbage. Racial, sexual and ethic stereotypes aplenty; horrendous sex scenes; tons of casual DV. Not to mention absurd plot lines. I loved every single second of it.
A Reason to See You Again by Jami Attenberg
3.5
I like Attenberg’s writing very much, but the structure of the book, advancing in time with every chapter, made me feel like I never got to really know the characters.
Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell
4.5
Rainbow Rowell does such a great job with teen crushes, obsession, love. And Slow Dance is a great update of that format with a significant chunk of the book focused on the present-day adults. The MC’s communication challenges got a little old, but I loved this nonetheless.
