Welcome to Litsy!

The perfect entry to a travel-through-books shelf with its fabulous sense of place. Elba's sights, sounds, feels, and smells come alive in this contemporary fiction by an author whose familiarity with the setting is unquestioned. I loved the centering of the story on the concept of found family. The discussion around the sensitive topic of death is deftly handled. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ummmm 🤨 the title of this book is Lizzie and Dante & the attraction / get together happens pretty quickly but then , unlike ALL romances this author decides to drift off and give centre stage to the b list characters ! Who cares about grey and Rohan and ruby ?? Why was ruby even in it ?? Page 180 and Lizzie and Dante have had just one passionate night written about , Etta is a great character but no where near enough about Lizzie & Dante . Shame

This was a beautiful love story. Not just a love story of the hero and heroine but the love of found family. This is very different from the other books by this author-she is most famous writing as Eloisa James (historical romance). This is not, I would place this in the Women‘s Fiction realm. Some CW I‘ll put in comments. 4.5⭐️ Another bingo for #bookspinbingo

I have a very full cataloging cart this week. Here's all the fiction I'm adding to the library's collection.
