Julie Buxbaum recommends

Hazel Fine Sings Along (2023)
Katie Wicks
"Funny, timely and delightful, Hazel Fine will have your heart singing."

The Firefly Summer (2023)
Morgan Matson
"I loved this book - I laughed and cried and immediately craved s'mores."

The Bodyguard (2022)
Katherine Center
"The Bodyguard was such a delight from the first page to the last. It was the experience from a book I'm always looking for and very rarely find."

By Any Other Name (2022)
Lauren Kate
"I devoured this book in one sitting. Delightful, optimistic and with a perfect dash of bookishness, By Any Other Name is the romcom the world needs right now."

How to Make Friends with the Dark (2019)
Kathleen Glasgow
"In this raw, powerful, and heartbreaking meditation on loss and grief, Glasgow writes with unflinching beauty. We meet Tiger Tolliver at her most broken—at her darkest moment—and yet, somehow, How to Make Friends with the Dark teaches us how to let the light in."

Always Never Yours (2018)
Austin Siegemund-Broka and Emily Wibberley
"Funny, bold, unapologetic and endearing."
