Love & Other Disasters

“This book is warm, fuzzy, laugh out loud funny, full of heart, and incredibly real. It has the classic elements rom-com fans crave, but with a modern twist. The characters work on finding themselves as much as they work on finding each other, important social issues are touched upon, and yet there are still plenty of flirty, romantic, embarrassing, and steamy scenes mixed in. To put it simply, this book is like a heaping plate of your favorite comfort food, and it's safe to say you won't want this meal to end.”

Briana, Wicked Words

If you enjoyed The Power, then you’ll love The School for Good Mothers.

“This book was absolutely wild. Chan really makes you examine motherhood and how subjective it can be. With her fictional school and its excessive tactics, you wonder how you can judge mothers - is it possible to learn how to be a 'good' mother and what does 'good' even mean. Every moment of this book will stress you out a little (in a good way) and get you thinking.”

Kimi, Buttonwood Books and Toys

I'm Not Hungry But I Could Eat

“It’s wildly delightful to have such a slender short story collection provide a full course meal of emotion: savory, salty, sour, sweet, tender and all-around charming. These are portraits of hungry men--craving touch, love, and acceptance--and finding it in friends and family (and food). True to the title, I found myself satisfied by the end of the book, but excited for what Gonzalez will serve up next.”

Vesper Flights

“Helen Mcdonald, author of H is for Hawk, introduces her latest essay collection by describing the idea of Cabinets of Curiosities or Wunderkammer—curated and eclectic collections of objects, often from the natural world that would represent their creators interests and fascinations. This does aptly describe her essays collected here, reflections on a lifetime of obsession with nature, animals and the human relationship to the world around us. At once sad and lovely, Mcdonald's essays are reflective but also encourage humans to look outside ourselves in our engagement with nature.”

Rachel, Brilliant Books Audio
