The characters fight, maintain friendships that feel like important relationships instead of just afterthoughts thrown in, have serious jobs they're passionate about, and meet-cute in thoroughly modern ways. Guillory's novels are frothy fun - like a Netfllix rom-com come to life, only with a dash of realism thrown in for good measure. It's the stuff of a Hallmark Holiday Movie, only the characters are relatable.įeminist writer Roxane Gay is a fan (calling The Wedding Date “a charming, warm, sexy gem of a novel”) and her fellow writers from The Toast (the satirical feminist website where she began by writing about Michelle Obama), including Nicole Cliffe, Nichole Chung and Daniel Mallory Ortberg, support her at book signings and events. When Forest visits England with her daughter, who’s acting as a stylist to the Duchess at Sandringham over Christmas, she meets the Queen’s private secretary and (no spoilers) but hijinks ensue. Like Ragland, Forest is a social worker from California. The main character, Vivian Forest, is inspired by Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland. In the novel, a previous character’s mother - a black fifty-year-old woman - gets her chance to shine, which is almost unheard of in romance novels, where the heroines are primarily young and white. Her latest book, Royal Holiday, is a sweet but not saccharine continuation of her popular Wedding Date series. New West End Company BRANDPOST | PAID CONTENT.

The woman who ran out on him after some of the hottest sex of his life. Each house is in competition with the others, collecting points to win something.

This reverse harem series by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue is VERY intense and if you have any triggers, they’re probably somewhere in one of these books. Series: The Royals of Forsyth University by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue Rather than the usual sci-fi narrative that takes you somewhere else, Solaris takes you nowhere in particular. It's less a plot than "a three-dimensional dream" (5.7), as Kelvin puts it, that you wander around in, toddling into dead ends and toddling back out again, horror and suspense and surprise and awe swathed in a dreamy haze of half-reality. That's kind of the fun of the book, though. And here's the thing about this history of scientific investigation: It boils down to the fact that scientists don't know diddly about Solaris. The rest of the book is taken up with brief glimpses of the other scientists on the station (who have their own visitors) and long discussions about the history of scientific investigation of Solaris. Which seems about right.Īnd that's pretty much it. On the station, Kelvin meets a replica of his ex-wife, Rheya, who killed herself back on Earth. So what's up with Stanislaw Lem's Solaris? Psychologist Kris Kelvin goes out to a space station monitoring the planet Solaris and its giant-possibly intelligent-ocean. So if laser battles and monster aliens erupting out of chest cavities is all a bit much for you-but you still like yourself some outer space-then you are in a Solaris mood. Solarisis science fiction for folks who think science fiction is just a little too exciting. KEY WORDS: Dysfunctional family, Mental health, Love at first sight.
