This book hurt my poor, little heart in the best kind of way! With every turn of the page, I grew more in love with Dev and Charlie's kindness and charm. Alison Cochrun addresses topics such as depression, asexuality, demisexuality, and OCD in such a way that you're ultimately left with a resounding aura of compassion. If you're a fan of Red, White & Royal Blue and you need a little hope, READ THIS BOOK!

When I'm looking for a cozy, transportive read, I always come back to The Beautiful Ones. This book is Bridgerton with telepathy; the lively heroine leaps off the pages, and you'll fall right into Moreno-Garcia's atmospheric world. With a plot that is equal parts exciting and gentle, fans of The Night Circus should look no further for their next favorite!
