The Best of Us Review
This is told through four alternating views founded on the themes female friendship and marriage, as you can tell it is a reoccurring base in her books.

Skipping a Beat Review
Now Skipping a Beat was very different from the last two Sarah Pekkanen books I read since it was about one person and solely a love story. An heartfelt bittersweet love story. It’s like The Vow and I think it should become a movie too. The main character is Julia, who has been faithfully married…

Now years later, Wendy…

Hamilton and Peggy: A Revolutionary Friendship Review
Hamilton and Peggy is a perfect addition for a Hamilton fan or a historical fiction fan. L.M. Elliot skillfully interweaves historical facts and documents with emotional resonance that makes these characters don’t feel like disnant historical figures or amazing musical heroes but just real people living in the Revolution.

Betty and Veronica: The Bond of Friendship Review
A serviceable entry into the Archie-verse of stories as part of their new Blue Ribbon imprint which is specifically for the company’s graphic novels. I enjoyed Brittany Williams’ pie-eyed style with its vivid, bubblt color palette which perfectly fit the tone of the story of various imaginative scenarios of potential B&V career aspirations.
