These 9 stories made me feel all sorts of ways but mostly: happy. I loved getting to know these new characters and enjoyed learning about them as the stories progressed. Even though I knew these were love stories, I was always surprised when the characters kissed. My favorite of the stories was Winter Songs for Summer, where a downstairs neighbor gave customized CD's for the main character, who was going through a breakup. The last few stories were not exactly the type of books I usually read, but despite it being unusual, I enjoyed the characters even if it was only a little. Overall, Scattered Showers was a quick read as well as a book I could finish and think about for at least a few minutes.

First book was better. This one felt like it was trying to hard to fill in blanks for people who haven't read the first. A lot of repetition and explanations but overall good.

As a fangirl of the "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" series, I absolutely adored this book. Initially, I expected the book to be a sequel to the series but only realized it was a prequel at the end. Throughout the story, I understood how Pip came to decide on her Capstone Project and it was an intriguing story filled with plot twists and hidden clues. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book and thank you, Holly Jackson, for writing this masterpiece.

Jen Dixon has a son who is born while her two older daughters are in college. She now has start over navigating elementary school and all the mommy groups that come with it. She reluctantly becomes the class parent, but unlike her fellow parents, Jen has a quick wit about her and it shows in email exchanges between her and the parents throughout the school year. The teacher is no help and kind about doing her own thing and oh yeah, a blast from past comes to make her life difficult.

OMG THE GROUP JOINS THE BLACK SWAN FINALLY!!! I was wondering when they would be allowed into their organization, especially after finding out that Della sneaked onto their escape

Workplace romance with all the heat and complications you want—Strictly Professional serves up chemistry that’s off the charts and challenges that keep you invested. It’s smart, spicy, and gives that slow-build satisfaction that stays with you long after the last track.

Lovely story about a young man settling in this area from indai and his attempts to start a new life and start a business. Very nostalgic overview of the transformation of the OAk Tree Road are from the 80s to today.

I love Alice Oseman's other series, Heart stopper, so I thought it would be interesting to read another one of her books, a novel, this time. The novel is also in the POV of a character in Heart stopper, Tori, so I wanted to learn more about her life. Even though she is Charlie's sister, we don't learn a lot about her in Heart stopper. This book was pretty good and fun to read.

This book was really fun to read because I knew how the dynamic between Pippa and Ravi worked as well as knew that they were dating which made a lot more fun to read. I can't believe that the author left us on such a cliffhanger of not telling us if they got back together or not

Whew. This story holds you in every way—emotionally tender, deeply grown, and layered with healing love. It’s about second chances and choosing each other over and over. Plus, that audio narration? Chef’s kiss.
