What We're Reading
Few things offer warmth and comfort quite the way a riveting novel can. From romance and thrillers to personal narratives and sci-fi, stories help us heal, offer hope, and allow us to stop out of our own lives and into someone else's for just a bit.
Here are a few of our team reads in 2022.
The Cupcake Cottage
by Jean Oram
A sweet fake romance/friends to lovers story. Maverick is an NHL star looking to rehab his bad boy image and Daisy-Mae is his publicist and life-long friend willing to help him do that. Pretend to be a sweet happy couple? Easy enough. Until pretending isn't so easy.
Book Lovers
by Emily Henry
“That’s the thing about women. There’s no good way to be one. Wear your emotions on your sleeve and you’re hysterical. Keep them tucked away where your boyfriend doesn’t have to tend to them and you’re a heartless b1tch.” 7 pages in. A non-romance romance novel. Pick it up.
This Time Tomorrow
by Emma Straub
If the movies Sliding Doors and Groundhog Day and the books In Five Years and The Midnight Library all collided and each of their best elements made a super book, it would be this. It's not a "sci-fi" ish time travel book, but one that will give you all the feels + definite nostalgia.
When We Let Go
by Rochelle Weinstein
An emotional tale of mothers and daughters, loss and acceptance, When We Let Go is about the lessons that come from heartbreak and the healing it takes to embrace the joy of a second chance.
