Kissing! For science!

If you like Jenny Han, Susannah Nix, or Helen Hoang, then the Science Squad series is for you. There’s kissing in the name of science! Avery Shaw has to complete her experiment on the stages of heartbreak for the Science Fair, and to do that, she needs to the help of her best friend’s older brother, Grayson. Cue the age-old nerds vs. jocks dilemma, as Grayson is practically allergic to good grades and the term “Science Club.” But he needs to pass physics if he’s going to stay on the basketball team, so… you know where this is going ;) It’s a breezy, sweet listen!

Sometimes real life is like the movies

If you’re like me and you love the many great romantic movies set in New York City— Serendipity, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Breakfast at Tiffanys, etc. – then listening to If We Were a Movie will be like a fond visit down memory lane. A musician and an aspiring movie producer room together in a reverse-catfish style NYC housing debacle (Jordan is actually a girl!), which turns out to be quite the happy accident. What’s also great about this story is that it’s told from the guy’s perspective, which I think we always need more of.

A modern retelling for the internet age

Today’s equivalent of a Prince Charming? An A-List actor like Brian Oliver. And our Cinderella? Meet Ella Rodriguez, forced to live with her estranged father and his new family after her mother’s death. Guess what the glass slipper is? The internet! Secretly, Ella and Brian have kept up an anonymous internet friendship for years. And now, Ella wants to meet in person. Don’t be fooled by the fairytale premise though! This series is very real and heartfelt, with characters that are far from perfect but entirely sympathetic. It’s a happily ever after that is well-deserved.

Romance meets a mystery

Can creepy be cute? In Serial Hottie, you find out that the answer is yes. Poor Seth sets himself up to fit the profile of a serial killer on the loose, and as much as Ellie likes him, she is not going home alone with him, ever. This is a romance though, guys, so we’re okay (other than the fact that there is actually a serial killer after teenage girls… yikes). If you’re in the mood for a story that’ll give you the heebie-jeebies in time for Halloween, this one is for you.
