The Summer of Jordi Perez, by Amy Spalding (2018)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A Los Angeles teen‘s plans for her Summer internship at a fashionable boutique are complicated when she catches feelings for her colleague and rival.

Review: This is a sweet YA novel perfect for Pride. While the romance is solid, where this really impressed me was in its unique take on body positivity and teenage male-female friendships.

Ch 16:

After that, entirely by accident, they ended up in a library.
The Citadel was a study in opulence, dripping excess in every corner, but this was the room that really made Lore‘s jaw drop. The library had three levels, all of them visible from the bottom floor—balconies ringed the walls, accessible by small, polished-wood staircases set into the shelves. All three levels were filled to bursting with books, ⬇️

“There‘s got to be buckets of gold in here,” Lore breathed. “Do you know how expensive books are?”
“I do.” A scowl darkened Gabe‘s face. “All that money, and hardly anyone here reads.”
“No one, really? What a waste.”

Anton‘s bright eyes tracked to Lore and the Night Priestess. “I‘m still owed a village,” he said, almost irritated, as if he didn‘t have a knife to his throat.

(1984) Third in Peters's cozy mystery series featuring librarian Jacqueline Kirby. In this one Kirby solves a murder at a historical-romance convention. The mystery is not especially memorable, but the characters are so fun, the prose so sharp, and the jokes (many at the expense of the romance publishing industry, of which Peters seems to be an unfan) so frequent that the mystery barely matters.

Glad I am done looking at this cover.
This is my second McQuiston. I find her characters annoying. I thought I liked Kit but then he quickly got on my nerves when we switched POVs. I guess I dislike books where I cannot really see why one character likes the other. Theo was mostly an ass. Everything revolves around mis or no communication.
Too much sex to be considered YA but not enough maturity for olders. 20 somethings might like it

ChaoticMissAdventures I was listening to a podcast talk about P&P and how one of the reasons it works is b/c the secondary characters are flushed out. And I think a lot of modern romances suffer from not doing this. All of the 2ndary characters here feel like complete afterthoughts and stereotypes. And what is up with how much time these 2 have on a planned EU tour? As someone who has been on a couple this annoyed me. 🤣 10h

“The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 1” wasn‘t what I was expecting, but I think that it‘s interesting enough that I‘ll end up picking up the next book!

I've had this book on my TBR for years. Yesterday I happened to be looking for an #audiobook to start when I noticed Cinder just happened to be sitting there waiting for someone to pick it up. So pick it up I did, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Now on hold with Libby for book two.

It's a paranormal romance series that follows a friend group in a small town called Mystic Bayou. Well more like chosen family by the end. It is a sweet connection and none of them are the bad boy types. They are a bit spicy though. It's a series of 8 books each following a different couple getting together and bonding with everyone while they all work to help fix the town's troubles. (Continued in comments)

RedxoHearts You could honestly read them alone but I think its much more rewarding to read them all. The story just came together so nicely. Also loved how the author picked other less common beings like a dragon, selkies, a banshee and a werebear. So this review is for all of them and my official rating is 3.5 so round up to 4. My main complaint is that I want more from Mystic Bayou 12h
Deifio Sounds really good! I read a couple of her other books. Too bad that it's an audible only series. 😢 1h
