Not all heroes wear capes. Some write controversial books that tell hard truths. Michael Scheuer risked his career to warn America about its blind spots in the War on Terror.

👍 I absolutely loved this book, and this author has become an auto read! It has Holton’s trademark humor and hijinks. Secret friends to lovers was also a nice touch. I also liked how the epilogue has all the couples from the series getting together, it was a nice parallel to her Wisteria Society ending.

***Thank you @netgalley @india.holton and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.***

👍 This book picks up right where book 2 left off. However, the lore really expands in this one! We finally start to get some answers, but there’s still some revelations to come. We also get some new POV. On to book 4!
👎 Thea was slightly reckless in going to Venice but hey. Plots gotta plot I guess 😂

👍 Happy movie release day!
Fun fact, before booksta, I had only DNF’d two books: Lord of the Flies and Wuthering Heights. Neither one was required reading in school, I was just bumming copies from my sister. I remember thinking the MC’s in Wuthering Heights were so unlikeable and having the same names was confusing.
The movie doesn’t look anything like the book though so maybe I should give it a chance? Maybe I should attempt a re-read while I’m at it 😬

📚 “ ‘Change is scary.’ ‘Regret is scarier.’”

👍 I picked this up bc of the dog on the cover but it was actually really cute! It’s a friends to lovers/second chance/best friend’s brother romance. It has some 🌶️. It also has only one bed trope.

👎 Third act break up
Tbh, the formatting on the POV was weird. It would switch in the middle of the chapter sometimes with no warning. No chapter break, or sub heading to be seen.

WE WANT THIS!

Deze feelgood las ik in de herfstvakantie uit: Better than the Movies van Lynn Painter. Een YA en feelgood in één, dus perfect voor mij(n eigen manuscripten). En ik heb er zó van genoten! Naar mijn idee is dit hoe een feelgood geschreven wordt. Hoezo? Omdat het mooi opgebouwd, grappig en een pageturner is. De scènes zijn zo soepel en geloofwaardig opgebouwd, alledaags en tegelijkertijd grappig en soms ongemakkelijk, dat ik regelmatig hardop moest grinniken (‘Mama, is je boek weer grappig?’🤣) en helemaal ging hopen op de liefde tussen Liz en Wes❤️.

Ik had meteen het vervolg bij @blossombooks besteld (want toen nog niet beschikbaar): Nothing like the Movies, dat eigenlijk deze week bezorgd moest worden, maar zag dat de uitgever aan het verhuizen is, waardoor de bestellingen wat vertragen. Gelukkig genoeg te lezen, maar oooooh, ik heb echt zin in het vervolg!
