Laci Bellora
1. Book Lovers by Emily Henry.
Our first book club pick, and it was easily our top voted book. Emily Henry has a way of doing that!
One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...
Nora and Charlie couldn't be more different, only sharing the industry they seem to work together in. After a business meeting gone wrong in NYC, they both end up in the small town of one of Noras clients romance novels, Sunshine Falls. This book has one of the best relationships between sisters, a top knotch heroine that often gives us The Devil Wears Prada vibes. Of course, there is Charlie, the grumpy male we all can't help but fall for. This is a guarantee fave for any romcom fan.
2. Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel
A book set in the beginning of World War 2, this is a story about a forger, Eva, who is doing her best help as many Jewish children flee France to safer territory. This is a book about resilience, love, love, grief and so much more. It was loved by everyone who read it in our group, and provided some amazing conversation.
3. Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
“Gorgeous. The kind of sharp, smart, potent book you have to set aside every few pages just to catch your breath. I’ll take a piece of Carrie Soto forward with me in life and be a little better for it.”—Emily Henry, author of Book Lovers and Beach Read
Carrie Soto is fierce, and unapologetic. Some say this was inspired by the Williams sisters, and it def gave us those vibes. Carrie is a legend in the tennis world, and this story follows her come back to stay at the top of her game. As with any TJR book, it has all the things, love, complicated relationships, reads like a true story making you want to google all the characters.
4. Something Wilder by Christina Lauren
Outer Banks in the wild west? Yes please.
Growing up the daughter of notorious treasure hunter and absentee father Duke Wilder left Lily without much patience for the profession…or much money in the bank. But Lily is resourceful, and now uses Duke’s coveted hand-drawn maps to guide tourists on fake treasure hunts through the red rock canyons of Utah. It pays the bills but doesn’t leave enough to fulfill her dream of buying back the beloved ranch her father sold years ago, and definitely not enough to deal with the sight of the man she once loved walking back into her life with a motley crew of friends ready to hit the trails. Frankly, Lily would like to take him out into the wilderness and leave him there.
Swoon. We are huge Christina Lauren fans!
5. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
