Book Review: The Getaway List

22nd Jan 202418th Jan 20241 Comment

Emma Lord has quickly become a must-read author for me. Though I have (accidentally, it seems) missed some of her novels, I still think about her debut novel Tweet Cute every so often—and actually I think about Begin Again, as well.

When I saw that I could get a New Year's Eve-inspired story of hers on Amazon … Continue reading Book Review: Same Time Next Year
