Recs if you like The Fast Track...

Romance books to read for the aesthetic (usually cartoon covers because I’m trash for character art)

Be the trend setter of your book club or bookish friend group by getting to know the authors of next year’s publication cycle. These books are all by new talent in the publishing world from both the Big 5 and small, traditional publishers.

Be sure to also check out these authors on social media for ARC opportunities, and show these authors some love by requesting a purchase with your local library, or pre-ordering a copy yourself!

I’ve learned that I like when a YA romance book has characters with hobbies or talents that they’re obsessed with (& it’s basically their whole personality lol). I learn a lot of random facts while also appreciating people who actually pursue these interests. 😌
