She knows how to get the girl. Keeping her on the other hand\u2026not so much. Molly Parker has everything in her life totally in control, except for her complete awkwardness with just about anyone besides her mom. She knows she\u2019s in love with the impossibly cool Cora Myers. She just\u2026hasn\u2019t actually talked to her yet.<br \/>\nAlex and Molly don\u2019t belong on the same planet, let alone the same college campus. But when Alex, fresh off a bad (but hopefully not permanent) breakup, discovers Molly\u2019s hidden crush as their paths cross the night before classes start, they realize they might have a common interest after all. Because maybe if Alex volunteers to help Molly learn how to get her dream girl to fall for her, she can prove to her ex that she\u2019s not a selfish flirt. That she\u2019s ready for an actual commitment. And while Alex is the last person Molly would ever think she could trust, she can\u2019t deny Alex knows what she\u2019s doing with girls, unlike her.<br \/>\nAs the two embark on their five-step plans to get their girls to fall for them, though, they both begin to wonder if maybe they\u2019re the ones falling\u2026for each other.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-13T05:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Monday and welcome to my Weekly Wrap Up post!

As the Drought of Girls stretches across a generation, it sets off a cascade of political and personal consequences across all five queendoms of the known world, throwing long-standing alliances into disarray as each queendom begins to turn on each other\u2014and new threats to each nation rise from within.<br \/>\nUniting the stories of women from across the queendoms, this propulsive, gripping epic fantasy follows a warrior queen who must rise from childbirth bed to fight for her life and her throne, a healer in hiding desperate to protect the secret of her daughter\u2019s explosive power, a queen whose desperation to retain control leads her to risk using the darkest magic, a near-immortal sorcerer demigod powerful enough to remake the world for her own ends\u2014and the generation of lastborn girls, the ones born just before the Drought, who must bear the hopes and traditions of their nations if the queendoms are to survive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-13T05:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Monday and welcome to my Weekly Wrap Up post!

Alessa\u2019s gift from the gods is supposed to magnify a partner\u2019s magic, not kill every suitor she touches.<br \/>\nNow, with only weeks left until a hungry swarm of demons devours everything on her island home, Alessa is running out of time to find a partner and stop the invasion. When a powerful priest convinces the faithful that killing Alessa is the island\u2019s only hope, her own soldiers try to assassinate her.<br \/>\nDesperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard. But as rebellion explodes outside the gates, Dante\u2019s dark secrets may be the biggest betrayal. He holds the key to her survival and her heart, but is he the one person who can help her master her gift or destroy her once and for all?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-13T05:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Monday and welcome to my Weekly Wrap Up post!

She\u2019s ready to start a brand-new life, with a new identity\u2014when things go sideways. Lucky finds herself alone for the first time, navigating the world without the help of either her father or her boyfriend, the two figures from whom she\u2019s learned the art of the scam.<br \/>\nWhen she discovers that a lottery ticket she bought on a whim is worth millions, her elation is tempered by one big problem: cashing in the winning ticket means she\u2019ll be arrested for her crimes. She\u2019ll go to prison, with no chance to redeem her fortune.<br \/>\nAs Lucky tries to avoid capture and make a future for herself, she must confront her past by reconciling with her father; finding her mother, who abandoned her when she was just a baby; and coming to terms with the man she thought she loved\u2014whose dark past is catching up with her, too.<br \/>\nThis is a novel about truth, personal redemption, and the complexity of being good. It introduces a singularly gifted, multilayered character who must learn what it means to be independent and honest...before her luck runs out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-12-13T05:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Monday and welcome to my Weekly Wrap Up post!
