Seven Days In June by Tia Williams
If you’re looking for a book that can break your heart, rip it out of your chest, and put it back all together in a nice bow, this book is for you. It follows two people who were close as children, were broken apart, and made a life for themselves as authors being each other’s muses. When they find themselves in the same room with their mutual author friends, they start rekindling the friendship they once had.
They are literal soulmates. Keep in mind, this book deals with heavy topics so keep the trigger warnings in mind, and have your tissues on standby.
Along For The Ride by Mimi Grace
This book is equal parts funny, lovely, and spicey. We’ve got out grumpy male love interest who ends up being stuck with the sunny female love interest on the road as they help their friends move into their new place by driving their U-Haul across the country. While on the road only lasts up until halfway into the book, the romance from beginning to end is worth the read.
The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen
This one is a graphic novel that meshes the story of a young boy struggling to open up to his parents about his sexuality and an array of fairytales he’s grown up reading. Both the art and story are beautiful, and if you want something you can read in a day without having to slug through too many words, this is the read you need.
One Last Stop by Casey McQuinston
This story follows a girl who just moved to New York and stumbles across meeting a beautiful, mysterious girl on the train. What is the catch? Well, this beautiful, mysterious girl is from the 1970s and has been trapped in this train ever since. She can’t remember how or why, but our main girl is determined to help her find out and take her back to 1970. But as they spend time slowly falling for each other, knowing they can’t spend the rest of their lives on a train, she’ll have to choose between getting her back home or figuring out a way to get her out of the train without being transported back every time she tries to step out.
While the ending was rushed and the overall setting of New York and its trains is slightly unrealistic, I couldn’t put the book down. It was fun, and charming, with some Nacy Drew moments.
