Things that felt like guarantees big and small — a meal out, a quick shot (either kind), the ability to plan a trip with a friend — just aren’t anymore. Nothing works like it used to work. More importantly, it doesn’t work to push forward for the old way if the old way is gone.
If you’re a romance fan: you’ve gotta get into Jasmine Guillory’s collection. I enjoyed While We Were Dating, though it wasn’t my number one from her. If you’re a romance fan, I guess you might as well pick up Emily Henry’s People We Meet on Vacation as well.
