Even if you’ve already watched this heart-wrencher in the movies, we still recommend the novel which hits just as hard. “Me Before You” follows a very ordinary Lou Clark as she takes on a badly needed job as a caretaker for moody, bossy and unfortunately wheelchair-bound Will Traynor.  It is a modern-day love story that is heartbreakingly romantic and will linger with you long after you turn the last page; reminding us all about the importance of treasuring the time we have with our loved ones.

A quick read that will leave you more in love with love than ever, “Anna and the French Kiss” is a sugary sweet, fluffy contemporary featuring Paris, a boarding school, tons of references to French pastries (yum!) and of course, the dreaded love triangle. This novel falls under the Young Adult category and may follow some romance tropes, but the boys in this book are so swoon-worthy you won’t even mind. Pick this up for an hour of chill time and you’ll find yourself putting down the book with a smile on your face.
