A thoroughly fun romcom/wedding story/family drama with enough substance to sink your teeth into and enough froth to make a great summer read.

Whether or not you read speculative fiction, you must read this book. An optimistic, joyful look at being a person in the world in search of your purpose. With tea!

Rhiannon Hunter is living her best life as the CEO of Crush, a new-to-the-game dating app that has been skyrocketing with success. Unfortunately, all of her carefully constructed plans for acquiring Matchmaker (an industry rival to Crush) come crashing down when they announce their new ambassador: Samson Lima, a former football pro... and the guy who ghosted her. The Right Swipe is a lighthearted contemporary filled with thoughtful commentary on grief, grudges, and the consequences of broken trust. Alisha Rai absolutely nails the fine balance between conflict and comfort. You'll be rooting for Rhiannon and Samson from start to finish.

One of my favorites of the year, She Who Became the Sun will rip your heart out. I feel like the legions of clamoring fans undersell this with the Mulan comparisons, but they're right about one thing: READ THIS BOOK!

In this memoir, Susanna Kaysen bravely welcomes us into the raw, honest, and occasionally comedic reality of staying at an in patient psychiatric hospital. This is a work of art and an absolute classic- perfect for fans of Ned Vizzini and Sylvia Plath.

This book reads like a kdrama (Korean drama) with all the twists and turns that feel unbelievable. I loved every moment of the drama and am looking forward to bringing this to the beach with me for another read!

LaRocca's newly released companion novel to Midsummer Mayhem is cute, fun, and will definitely make you hungry! I love catching all the similarities between LaRocca's fresh take and Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing!

Filled with queer family, Black girl magic, and mystery so twisty you'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time, this book is one of the best and most unique Greek Myth retellings I've ever read. I need a sequel yesterday!!

A complex and gorgeous-though-terrible story of enslavers and enslaved people on a Louisiana plantation.

A wonderfully fantastical summer ghost story by a legend. The illustrations are just lovely and really accentuate the story. Perfect!
