I read The Perfect Marriage! It was pretty good. I usually read fantasy themed stuff but like to take a break with real people stuff now and then lol
I can’t get into fantasy at all 😔 do you have any recommendations to ease me in?
I really liked the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. It's set in Ireland and involves fairies. I'm not sure if that one is easing though...more like jumping in lol. I like the ones that are set in real life mostly. It's harder to get into the ones where it's a different world and you have to learn a million different names for stuff.
