Wait With Me by Amy Daws was a sexy, fun read! I loved how Kate tried to be stealthy sneaking into the Tire Depot and hung out writing all day. Miles was such an amazing hero. I loved how he accepted and encouraged Kate to write what she loved. This book was such a great read!

On a more personal note, I loved that it took place in my home state. I also found it rather funny that Miles was going on a camping Trip in Golden Gate Canyon State Park, because I read half of this book while camping there too.

When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole is a darkly enthralling tale about an unlikely pair of neighbors who take on the horrifying, forced gentrification in their neighborhood. Sydney, while dealing with her grief around her mother, gaslighting scars from her ex, is trying to prove to herself and neighbors that their community has so much important history. The stories about the past are tough nuggets that aren't always talked about in school. The way that Sydney and Theo interact with each was engaging to watch as they slowly form a very friendly relationship. I liked the little postings from the OurHood App. They helped give you a sense of the people living in the neighborhood and encouraged you to become more invested in the characters. While the end was more action packed and a bit far fetched than the rest of the story, I really enjoyed it! This was such a thrilling read and I loved every second!
