To be fair, most romance books are the "same" when you truly think about it 😅 hence why I mainly read them as pallet cleansers or when I don’t want to use any brain power.

Yes, it is going into Winter here in Australia but in saying that, you still get warm days where you live so you COULD add a Summer-y book to your TBR and then wait for day where it is 25 degrees (which often happens) and go sit in a sunny area and i bet that you would finish most of the book in that warm day. 😍

With Malice by Eileen Cook. 4. A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman. (I hope to read the book first, before the movie adaptation 💕) 5. Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield. 6. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. (This is one of my boyfriend's favourites, and the premise sounds incredible to me 🤩 definitely have some high expectations for this book!)

About 'This Summer WIll Be Different' -- I LOVED both of Fortune's previous releases but I recognize how some of the content might not have been to everyone's taste and why it was considered problematic or something. This one though, it's fun and realistic but without the problematic things. It's also beautifully written like her previous two. I think there's a chance you'll enjoy it a lot. :)
