The Bride Test — Helen Hoang
I loved this book and was thoroughly charmed by Khai and Esme’s relationship. I just wish Khai’s character was given more attention at the start and his Asperger’s condition played a larger role in the story
Such a Fun Age — Kiley Reid
There are so many themes throughout this book – racism, white privilege, and status – that are part of why I feel it is incredibly important to read. There was nothing in this book I didn’t like, and, although there were many times I found myself cringing in embarrassment along with one of the characters, I couldn’t put it down.
The Warramunga’s Aftermath of War — Greg Kater
Despite the lackluster writing style, it was an entertaining story, and I had fun following Jamie and Jacko as they tracked down the perpetrators. Although this book mainly focused on terminating the pedophile ring, there is a little of something for everyone. Jamie’s love interest takes center stage for a bit, and there are plenty of post-WWII facts to keep history buffs interested
My Big, Fat, Fake Engagement — Lauren Landish
Despite the lack of an original story premise, I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to those looking for a light, steamy romance. Courtney and Kaede’s chemistry was off the charts and provided ample amounts of sexual tension without overdoing the balance between serious and sexual. I thought the book was longer than a typical romantic comedy but never wanted to rush to get through it. Overall, I’d say you know what you’re getting with this book. It was enjoyable, lighthearted, and sexy, and is definitely worth picking up!
The Martian — Andy Weir
For a guy stuck alone on Mars, Mark Watney is shockingly optimistic. I cannot think of one negative thing about this brilliant and hilarious book. You can tell it is incredibly well-researched and Watney is a delight to follow along with. I highly recommend it to everyone, even if you’re not a fan of science. I can guarantee that after this book you will be!
