This weekend I finished Just for the Cameras by Meghan Quinn. This is the first book in a new three-book series, with the first two books being released this year.

When a pro football player is paired with a nerdy zoologist for publicity, of course things are going to get interesting. He has no interest in being there, and she is reluctant to deal with the grumpy man insulting her beloved flamingos. But through their differences, they find a way to bring awareness to each of their professions in a new way and learn that they can actually get along when it counts.

As Maple learns more about Graydon and his background, she breaks through his grumpy shell to see the heart underneath. This book had a lot of heart and some really sweet moments. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and if you enjoy reading Meghan’s books, you might get that de ja vu feeling that you've read about these characters before. Many of them come from other series, though they are not intertwined enough that you'll be lost not having read the others.

Hi Misfits! We’ve decided to start posting book reviews. I’m going to ask for some grace now – my hobby is reading, not writing, for a reason.

First up is my weekend read, How to Ruin a Wedding by Elba Luz. Between the title, the Mindy Kaling recommendation, and the opening chapter, I was really looking forward to a laugh-out-loud rom-com.

While it was a cute story, I felt like the comedy didn’t last as long as I had hoped. It was replaced with some serious emotion, which gave the main characters some much-needed depth. That depth was especially important since the supporting characters didn’t seem to have much development of their own.

Anders Kennedy and Lucy Delgado are both willing to do anything for the people they love, even if their methods are a little unconventional. They’re also both dealing with scars left by family situations and worry about being a burden to the people in their lives. When Anders hires Lucy for a job, they’re able to spend more time together and begin to realize they just might be a good fit for each other.

I think the idea behind this book was good, and it was a quick read, but ultimately, you won’t be missing much if you decide to skip it.

Side note – wedding ruiner could be a fun career backup if this bookstore thing doesn’t work out 🤔
