This is the face of a human who has written half of her manuscript!! Do you see the pleased glint in her eye?

Two nights ago I hit 40,000 words in my WIP and I’m so pleased. This is the first time I’ve ever written anything on a deadline and the old adage is true: slow and steady wins the race. I’ve been writing almost every day, whittling away at the huge undertaking that is to write a novel, and it’s coming along! Just sharing an update on this milestone!

Ever read the first page of a book and know it’ll have your whole heart? That was me with It Goes Like This by Miel Moreland!

Eva, Celeste, Steph, and Gina were members of a queer pop band, Moonlight Overthrow, that they started in middle school and exploded into a worldwide phenomenon by high school. But now the band is broken up, and each member is off doing their own thing. Celeste and Gina are out out-famousing each other, Steph disappeared, and Eva became a Fangirl of her own band on tumblr. And that’s how it seems it’ll be forever, until a storm devastates their hometown and they come together for a benefit concert. Emotions swirl, friendships reignite, lovers reunite!

This book has me squealing from page one. I can’t help but compare it to CASSIDY but it’s gayer, it’s happier, it’s younger! The members of Moonlight Overthrow are about 19 in this and I loved that age for a YA — we see a lot of 16 yo in YA but I always want to know about the kids in college, the people just on the cusp of adulthood.

There’s second-chance romance, friendships that are rekindled, and a lot of platonic and familial love. I know this book is going to be one of my favorites for years to come. Definitely pick it up if it sounds anything like what you’d be into!!

Review - Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler

Quick summary: Larissa returns from summer vacation to find that, to her great confusion and delight, her crush of many years is ready to reciprocate. But on her mind is the girl she just spent her entire summer with, and who suddenly appears at Larissa’s school without warning…

This was delightful and heartwarming; a bisexual awakening book, with two interesting and worthy love interests. I loved that Larissa was Jewish (not a big part of the story, but a nice touch in a world where I don’t see a lot of Jewish representation) and a sweetheart with a tough decision. Normally I hate unexpected love triangles but since I knew going in that this was the premise of the book, I was down with it. Definitely recommending this one!

Have you read any good romcoms lately?

Review - The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

TW: infertility issues, car accident
Quick summary: Josh seems like the perfect guy for Kristen, and even her best friend thinks so: she tries to hook the two of them up. But Kristen knows Josh wants a big family someday, and Kristen is dealing with a medical issue that would leave her sterile. However, leaving Josh in the friend zone proves to be incredibly difficult….

This was my first book by Abby Jimenez and I loved it. The two leads have excellent chemistry and I was rooting for them the entire time. It was also refreshing in a way that Josh was not the stereotypical “hot nerd” that you see in a lot of romances. But hot firefighter? Yes, please.

There are other books in this series following side characters that I know I have to read eventually. I found Jimenez’s writing to be whip-smart, a little caustic (in a good way), and addicting.
