The book of the moment for today’s episode is Amor Actually by Sabrina Sol, Diana Stewart, Alexis Daria, Adriana Herrera, Priscilla Oliveras, Mia Sosa, and Zoraida Córdova. Just a forewarning for those of you listening, this is NOT a spoiler-free zone. We will be discussing this book in all of its glory, which of course includes revealing the ending.
Sabrina Sol writes spicy romance stories about strong Latinas and their search for love, success and happiness. She lives in sunny Southern California with her husband, three kids and two Beagles.
Diana Stewart lives in an often chaotic and always welcoming home that—depending on the day—can hold husband, kids, extended family, friends, and a canine or two. A believer in the power of words to heal, connect, and distract from chores, Diana blogs regularly on topics near and dear to her heart, including spotlight pieces on strong women from around the world. When not writing, Diana can be found kayaking, doing sprints up her long driveway—harder than it sounds–attempting yoga on her deck, or hiking with the man who’s had her heart since they were teens.
Alexis Daria writes stories about successful Latinx characters and their (occasionally messy) familias. You Had Me at Hola, the first book in her Primas of Power series, is a national bestseller. Alexis is a lifelong New Yorker who loves Broadway musicals and pizza.
USA Today bestselling author ADRIANA HERRERA was born and raised in the Caribbean, but for the last 15 years has let her job (and her spouse) take her all over the world. She loves writing stories about people who look and sound like her people, getting unapologetic happy endings.
PRISCILLA OLIVERAS is a USA Today bestselling author and 2018 RWA® RITA® double finalist who writes contemporary romance with a Latinx flavor. Proud of her Puerto Rican-Mexican heritage, she strives to bring authenticity to her novels by sharing her Latinx culture with readers.
Mia Sosa is an award-winning and USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance. A former First Amendment and media lawyer, Mia practiced for more than a decade before trading her suits for loungewear (read: sweatpants). Now she writes fun, flirty, and moderately dirty stories about imperfect characters finding their perfect match. Mia lives in Maryland with her husband, their two daughters, and one dog that rules them all.
Zoey Castile was born in Ecuador and raised in Queens, New York. She started writing in her teens and pursued that love in her studies at Hunter College and the University of Montana. For nearly a decade, she worked as a bartender, hostess, and manager in New York City's nightlife.

The two of us have read a lot of books since the last time we recorded together, but no reading craze that either of us took part in compares to that of the cartoon-cover romance novels of the summer. So, before we go into detail on our book of the moment, we are going to be looking into Summer 2021’s cartoon-cover craze. Also, you’ve already seen the title of this episode, so you already know that the book of the moment for today’s episode is It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey.

SHOW NOTES
The book of the moment for today’s episode is We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. Just a forewarning for those of you listening, this is NOT a spoiler-free zone. We will be discussing this book in all of its glory, which of course includes revealing the ending.
Readers of We Were Liars understand what it’s like to have an unreliable narrator lead you directly to an unexpected ending, which is one of the biggest reasons we have decided to discuss it at length in today’s episode. That, and the fact that this book actually received a wide variety of opinions from the three of us, making for an interesting conversation.
The author of We Were Liars, E. Lockhart is an American writer of children's picture books, young-adult novels, and adult fiction who is originally from Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Seattle, Washington. She is known best for the Ruby Oliver quartet (which begins with The Boyfriend List), The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, and We Were Liars.

The book of the moment for today’s episode is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Just a forewarning for those of you listening, this is NOT a spoiler-free zone. We will be discussing this book in all of its glory, which of course includes revealing the ending.
For some of you, hearing the title of the book alone is enough to send you sobbing, which is exactly why we have chosen to cover it in today’s episode. The Song of Achilles first entered our shelves because of BookTok’s obsession with the classical retelling of the well-known Greek story, and we are excited to discuss it together, here, with you.
The author of Achilles, Madeline Miller is originally from Philadelphia. She has a BA and MA from Brown university in Latin and Ancient Greek, and has taught in both languages. She also studied at Yale School of Drama, specializing in adapting classical tales to a modern audience. The Song of Achilles is actually her first novel.
