Fashion columnist Zoe Zeng feels trapped in her New York company under her narrow-minded boss. So when an opportunity to work in an app startup based in Silicon Valley arises, Zoe jumps ship and moves across the country. But nothing is ever what it seems, especially in tech.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story examining the intersections of fashion & tech, and the ethics behind social media & machine learning. As someone who's worked in startups & lives in the Bay Area, I also deeply resonate with many plots. There's more telling than showing at times, but VV is an entertaining read with a fascinating premise overall.

Known as the Kitty Whisperer for her expertise on all things feline, Kitty Hart takes on a new cat-sitting client, Miles Thorn. Except this is his mom's cat, and he doesn't like cats and gives the worst first impression. How will the two work together?
This story has everything I enjoyed—adorable animals (cats AND dogs), open communications (I appreciated how the 3rd act twist is handled), and heartwarming parent-child moments (Miles & his mom gave me all the feels). LC is an entertaining read that can get cheesy at times, but it's so worth it for all the cat content.

I had a lot of fun reading this tender story. The side characters and the magical realism aspects are what made this book unique. It’s not really a romcom story like the others, but more chic lit with a romance trope.

A great alternative for THE DELUGE if you don’t want to read 800+ pages of climate disasters
Vignette-style focusing on different POVs across race and class. Less character development but I appreciate the focus on the Bay Area & how individuals are impacted differently by climate change.
For Bay Area residents, this book will evoke a strong feeling of unequal land distribution, the housing crisis, wild fires, performative wokeness, and so much more
