Continuing along with my rainbow book recs with the color blue. I've read all of these except My Dear Henry. Each one has a special place in my heart.

Red White and Royal Blue was one of the first adult romances I read. Bookish and the Beast is my favorite of the Once Upon a Con series. Heartstopper is not only adorably wholesome, but it tackles questioning your sexuality, eating disorders, mental health, and so much more. Kiss Her Once for Me touches on liminal spaces and falling in love in those spaces. Check, Please! is a graphic novel about love and baking and hockey.

What's your favorite blue book?

Happy holidays to those who celebrate!

I read 'Kiss Her Once For Me' by Alison Cochrun in April and thoroughly enjoyed it. I know a lot of people had mixed feelings about it and the demi rep, but as someone who's been in very similar situations as Ellie, I thought the rep was rather good. I wouldn't have had a one-night-stand after knowing someone for 24 hours, but I've definitely gotten way too attached to people on an emotional level after spending hours with them.

The book talks a lot about liminal spaces. Ellie meets Jack on a snow day and they spend the whole day together. Having had several such days as a kid and in college (we were shut down for three solid days with nothing to do on campus), they feel like they're never going to end. A lot can happen on a snow day. Time seems both to stand still and move forward.

Anyway, I really liked this one and thought the rep was quite good. Just because it's not your experience doesn't mean it's not still good rep. It's also just a fun holiday story with a meet-cute, a fake marriage of convenience, and all the rom-com feels you could want.
