 💖💖💖💖 /5 Wake Me Most Wickedly by Felicia Grossman, book two in the Once Upon the East End series, is a reimagining of the story of Snow White, except the main characters, Solomon and Hannah, are Jewish . Different aspects of the Jewish community, during the Regency era, are showcased from the treatment of Ashkenazi Jewish people, to the class system, to the use of Yiddish.

💖💖💖💖 /5   Weekends with You by Alexandra Paige is a beautiful story about friendship, found family and star-crossed love that sees two friends with undeniable chemistry never being able to figure out how to be together in the same city and still pursue the careers they are both passionate about. Lucy, a florist in London, moves into a warehouse flat with seven other roommates; quickly falling for one of the roommates. Henry is a traveling photographer, only in London one weekend a month, which makes having a relationship quite difficult. Each chapter is a weekend in the roommates’ lives. I enjoyed the friendships between roommates and found those relationships and storylines to be more enjoyable than the romance between Lucy and Henry. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun read with a bit of chaos and romance. #Avon #NetGalley
