Book Lovers
If you are looking for an easy, heartwarming, romance book, this is perfect!
Nora Stephens is like us hopeless-romantics, she reads all the romance books, she knows every single trope: enemies to lovers, one bed, the fake dating, second chance trope and so one. However, she just knows that she is not like those cutesy characters that fits into tropes.
Nora is dragged by her sister to visit Sunshine Falls, a small town in North Carolina. In the rural town, she meets Charlie Lastra — a town guy just like the trope, a city girl falling for a small town guy. Nora is a workaholic, she loves New York, the city life. Can she give up her life for the love of her life?

My Dark Vanessa
(Be sure to look up trigger warnings!)
The most disturbing, unsettling and uncomfortable book that I have read this year, 2022. The complexity of what grooming is actually, has been portrayed perfectly.
A 15-year-old student, Vanessa falls in “love” with her fourty-two year old english teacher, Jacob Strane. Vanessa thinks their love was real, unlike what others say. Even when she gets older, she claims she wasn’t “groomed”. The book looks at the events from Vanessa’s point of view, making her relationship with Jacob, written in a beautiful way.
Is there a correct way to depict teacher-student relationship? This question will linger in your mind for a long time.
