My “Books to Read if you like” series continues! This series of book recommendations goes beyond recommending a genre, but a theme, feeling, mood, trope, etc. If you are interested in some of my past recommendations, you can check out this page on my blog.
But, If you are ever in the mood for LGBTQ+, check out…
To Have Loved & Lost by Eliza Andrews
Alexis is a rising basketball player in the NCAA and has her whole future ahead of her. That is until her girlfriend dies in her arms, and she begins on a self destructive path. Graham is no stranger to darkness after her boyfriend driving in a drunk driving incident she causes. Graham, seeing the same darkness in herself in Alexis tries to set her on a better path. This book is incredible (and sad so get your tissues!).
This was a really cute, long time best friends to lovers story. Jess has been in love with her best friend Melissa for years, and it was easy to keep everything under control when Melissa was away at school, but not that she’s back, it’s not as easy as it once was.
Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuinston
I am sure by now you all know about this book and you’ve read it or it’s on your TBR, but I can’t recommend it enough. Alex, the son of the first woman president in the USA is frenemies with Prince Henry of the British Royal Family. But you know what they say, there is a fine line between love and hate.
Jordan doesn’t need a man, he needs more people to sign up for his book club that is down to it’s last few members. As he pick up books for the next meeting at his favorite local book store, he has an unfortunate interaction with the new employee, Rex. Rex decides he wants to crash the book club and Jordan, in no position to turn anyone away reluctantly lets him in. As they team up to save the book club, they realize that first impression may not always be right.
Thanks for reading! Have you guys read any of these books or have any other recommendations? Stay tuned for the next in the series.
