This was a clever take on an SNL phenomenon of men dating successful women above their level! I loved the behind the scenes of the weekly show, and the connections between writers and cast members. The author did a great job of acknowledging the pandemic and bringing it into the story without making it the whole plot of the book. I enjoyed this fun read!

What an incredible book!! This was such a great combination of romance, thriller, and general fiction. I wasn't able to connect with Knox as much as I wanted to, but I loved Naomi and Waylay's characters!! The close-knit community was so heartwarming, and I absolutely loved all the side characters! I'm so glad there are more in this series!!

There were some interesting parts about Silicon Valley companies and how they're trying to "reinvent work", and stories about companies trying to change that. But overall it was a bit long, there were a ton of repeating stories.

Almost exactly the same plot as the first one, just with the brother instead. But still a fun read and very well written!!

Another absolutely incredible book from TJ Klune!! I was immediately laughing at all the unintentionally funny things the characters would say, and was hooked right away. The characters are so well written and loveable! The story was gripping and I loved all the creative locations they went to!! I cried and laughed out loud multiple times, and want to do it all over again!!

I enjoyed the realness of this book...the anxiety of the main character, the complicated emotions she goes through after experiencing grief, and her relationship with her family. It was a slow read, but still kept me interested.

A fun, very sarcastic read about what happens when someone is unexpected forced into public conversation. This book is ridiculous is all the right ways-how people will turn anything into a movement, get upset if someone isn't perfect and find a way to endlessly tear them down.

I absolutely loved the audiobook version of this!! It was a little hard to follow sometimes, but I struggle with that with all audiobooks. It was fun to get a behind the scenes of recording audiobooks!

It wasn't super thrilling, but did have some unexpected moments. I certainly wasn't hooked and didn't really like the characters.

A wild and unhinged sequel to the crazy town that was the first! I'm enjoying how much this differs from the TV show and all the shenanigans Joe gets into (and then out of).
