One of the main reasons why I read is to escape the world since happily ever afters often only happen in books. With the day full of roses, presents, and hand-holding about to commence, so too will my fantasizing about having my own love interest, with the help from the hands of a paperback.
We Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, a True Story by Josh Sundquist
At first, I was weary to read an autobiography. In the end, I read it all in one sitting. It is a hilarious and fun book about all of Josh Sundquist’s sadly failed relationships. This amputee author fills the pages with incidents of losing his leg, tripping over his leg, and misplacing his leg. He collects data to form hypotheses as to why each date existed as much as his missing limb.
Red, White, & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Lets just say the Meghan Markle and Prince Harry fiasco is nothing new to me when I prepped months early with this book. Every book needs a British prince (literally in this case), and who better to match him up with, than the rival, son of the U.S. president? In one scene, they were both shoved in a janitor’s closet when bullets started firing. This gave them the opportunity to become very well acquainted with each other’s fists. But luckily, they both made it out of the closet alive.
Geekerella by Ashley Poston
A modern day Cinderella story. Only this one involves a food truck driven by a green haired friend, a geeky cosplay geek, and a die-hard teen actor. When Elle gets to go to a Cosplay Ball to compete in the costume contest, she suddenly lands herself a meet-and-greet with the lead actor Darien. However, it’s not Cinderella without the evil sisters and mother. And oh boy, will you want to jump into this book and strangle them. I’m not violent, I swear.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
Everyone knows this movie and people go off about how great it was or how romantic Peter is, but have you actually read the book? There was so much missing in the film that occurred in the paperback. Like the scene where Lara Jean’s old love letters get mailed, which was the catalyst for the plot. In the movie, her sister Kitty does it out of the kindness of her own heart, but that’s not what happens in the book. The book’s version of the story holds a lot more drama, PDA, and more importantly, romantic gestures by the fake (not really) boyfriend, Peter Kavinsky.
