[quote=Anonymous]Friendly neighborhood ARC reviewer here with the books I read that have release dates this month... Funny Story by Emily Henry - (out tomorrow, 4/23) I was slow to warm to Emily Henry, as I thought her early books used the miscommunication trope without purpose, but she gets better and better. This most recent book is my favorite of all. Woman moves to be with her partner, just to have him drop her for his childhood best friend. She's a librarian and can't afford to live alone and becomes roommates with the childhood best friend's ex. The predictable happens, but it's an entertaining story. A Murder Most French by Colleen Cambridge - (out tomorrow) Sequel to a book about a Franco-American in Paris post-WW2. She's living with a grandfather and his partner, both of whom were French Resistance. The main character goes to a public demonstration at the Cordon Bleu with her neighbor (Julia Child!) and they witness a poisoning. I remember the first book as being entertaining and this one was as well. Julia Child is not a main character, but appears regularly. What Cannot Be Said by CS Harris - (already out) The 19th book in a series about an aristocrat/veteran of the peninsular war fighting crime in London. There's a larger story about what will happen to Napoleon after Waterloo happening at the same time as the main character investigates a murder that seems like a copy cat of one that happened years ago. Kept me guessing until the end. The Lady He Lost by Faye Delacor - (already out) A woman establishes a gambling club for women during the regency period. The man who was courting her proposed to her cousin instead, then was killed in a shipwreck. He shows up alive, the cousin has already married, and the main character wants nothing to do with him. Turns out he got involved with the A bit of a second chance romance. Different and fun. [/quote]
