Two summer rom-com novels this week
Get a Life, Chloe Brown
By Talia Hibbert
Just a basic romance. The girl almost dies and feels like she needs to do some exciting adventures before she dies, so she makes a list. She has fibromyalgia and is in constant pain. She falls for the bad boy artist from her apartment with a heart of gold.
The plot didn't really pull me in and I kept falling asleep while listening to it. The initial reason I wanted to read it was due to the health issues that the heroine faces, but I ended up just finding her kinda whiney. I was also excited to read this book because the author is part of the LGBTQ+ community and I really am trying to become better read person, reading all types of authors. I don’t know if I have read too many romantic books recently, but I just wasn’t super impressed and don’t plan on reading the rest of the series.
The People We Meet on Vacation
By Emily Henry
This book was my pick for Book of the Month a few months back. I ended up reading it in a Buddy Read, when you read it with a group of people over a set amount of time and you discuss it nightly. I would have picked the book no matter what because it was pitched as a When Harry Met Sally for a new generation with a lot of traveling. I love that movie, and due to Covid-19 the family has done zero traveling recently.
The main plot is a set of friends take an annual trip together every year, they are polar opposites but somehow they have a blast every time they take a vacation together. The book doesn't go too deep and it's definitely a fun quick read. I would recommend if you want a easy summer read.
