Fun fact: Caroline Lea, the author of one of your underrated picks actually tutored me in university in second year! I want to read her book too, as she was teaching and telling us about it while she writing it as well. I think the very human nonfiction is very much on the rise, as well as the cute romances with enemies to lovers!Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-21017056067471991982020-02-20T15:07:27.480-07:002020-02-20T15:07:27.480-07:00Wow, thanks for this list!
