I don’t read much contemporary romance so I had to look for my last one that I read. In YA I loved Geekerella by Ashley Poston and for adult I loved Along Came Jones by Victoria Bernadine. Great mental health rep and a cool setting.

Hallo, Hallo again,
*Everything, Everything* is definitely on my TBR – though not for this month! lol I have others I want to get into before I pick this one up as there are 3x actually which fit within the same thematic I thought I might read closer together; one of the other ones is *Five Feet Apart* – also, I know Simon is going to be read at some point, too!
Looking forward to sharing my selections – I like the prompts you’ve been coming up with and I think I’ll use those as a guide as to which ones I’ll focus on myself!
