Today is the first day of Five Fall Favorites 2024 Hosted by Once Upon an Ordinary! The first prompt is five books about Love. I'm going to share five romance books that reading them made me believe in love and I hope you love them as much as I do!
1. Better off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg
Macallan and Levi meet in seventh grade when Levi moves to town. This story follows the ups and down of their lives as they grow up and the challenges of dating when your best friend is a member of the opposite sex. This story has such a sweet love story. It shows the significance of friendship, and that love grows as people grow. The spilt narrative is beautifully done and both characters have a unique voice.
2. As If On Cue by Marisa Kanter
As long as Natalie can remember, it has been Natalie vs. Reid. Their prank wars are legendary, and a new prank war begins when their school’s arts budget gets cut and Natalie’s drama club has to compete with Reid’s award-winning school band for funding. A prank gone wrong ruins expensive AV equipment, and they have to work the together to put on a musical. As Natalie has been competing with Reid for everything, Reid has been competing for Natalie’s attention. The love between the two enemies is palpable as they try to destroy each other. This book is well plotted as everything clearly leads up to the climax.
3. Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen
Ever wanted to spend her summer after graduation dancing, but her strict Taiwanese immigrant parents decide to send her to Chien Tan, an education program in Taipei. She makes new friends and decides she before the end of the summer she will break all of her parents' rules, rule number one: no boyfriends until after med-school. Quickly Ever's reckless choices land her in a messy love triangle and an even bigger mess with the school. Loveboat, Taipei is about young love, but even more importantly it's about loving oneself and living to fulfil one's potential.
4. Not If I Save You First by Ally Carter
When they were little, Maddie's dad was the chief of the President's secret service and Logan was the President's son. They were best friends and got into all sorts of trouble together. After an attempted kidnapping of the First Lady, Maddie and her father move to Alaska. As a new President is about to be elected, Logan gets into trouble and is sent to live with Maddie and her father for the rest of the President's term. Soon after he lands in Alaska, Maddie and Logan are attacked. Logan is kidnapped and Maddie is thrown from a cliff. With a coming winter storm, they will have to save each other from the elements and the enemy. This is perhaps the sweetest story of survival and love between two best friends.
5. Tweet Cute by Emma Lord
How about a sandwich feud? Pepper's family owns an ever-growing chain of diner restaurants, and Jack's family owns a little bistro that's popular with the neighborhood. When Pepper's family's chain announces a new sandwich which matches the signature sandwich of Jack's family bistro, it's an all-out Twitter war. The split narrative reveals that these two are also secret friends messaging over the school messaging app, only neither of them knows it. Much of the plot is reminiscent of
You've Got Mail. This novel illustrates with humor and honesty that differences can actually be what brings people together.
