1. Meet me in Berlin by Samantha L. Valentine
I loved the premise of this book, and the chemistry between the characters was off the page.
2. Bloom Town: Genesis by Ally North
Just wow!! So good! Listened to the audio and Quinn Riley’s narration was incredible.
3. Palm Meridian by Grace Flahive
Sapphic retirement village… what more can I say? Beautiful writing, and I sobbed at the end.
4. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab
Lesbian vampires… flawless writing. and the incredible narration! Especially Marisa 🙂
5. Bachelorette Number Twelve by Jae
This book took me completely by surprise. Didn’t fancy it, started listening to it (with the wildly talented Lori Prince’s narration) and couldn’t stop. Just a lovely, sweet story!
