REVIEW: On Chocorua by Robin Reardon

[image error]

A mountain. A blizzard. A young man new to hiking and to love, making mistakes in both.

First year of college. A great time to re-invent yourself. Nathan Bartlett takes the opportunity very seriously—maybe a little too seriously. And he makes mistakes.

His mistakes? Falling for a straight guy who reminds him of his beloved older brother. Getting too invested in the substance abuse disorders of two other students. And climbing a mountain in a snowstorm for all the wrong reasons.

But he also d...

He’s Just a Friend by J. Nichole $ FREE

From the Jacket Copy:
She said he’s just a friend.

But could he be more?

What if they took it there and there wasn’t chemistry? Or if her feelings were stronger than his?

Or maybe his were stronger than hers?

Could they return to best friend status — you know, if it didn’t work?

Josiah was willing to risk their friendship for more. Brooklyn was hoping they’d never have to return to being just friends.

Do friends make the best lovers?

REVIEW: D-Day Girls (The Spies Who Armed the Resistance, Sabotaged the Nazis, and Helped Win World War II) by Sarah Rose

[image error]

In 1942, the Allies were losing, Germany seemed unstoppable, and every able man in England was on the front lines. To “set Europe ablaze,” in the words of Winston Churchill, the Special Operations Executive (SOE) was forced to do something unprecedented: recruit women as spies. Thirty-nine answered the call, leaving their lives and families to become saboteurs in France.

In D-Day Girls, Sarah Rose draws on recently declassified files, diaries, and oral histories to tell the thrilling story...

REVIEW: The Austen Playbook by Lucy Parker

[image error]

*if those people were being nice

Freddy Carlton knows she should be focusing on her lines for The Austen Playbook, a live-action TV event where viewers choose the outcome of each scene, but her concentration’s been blown. The palatial esta...
