There’s a particular ebook I normally flip to when the times get lengthy and sizzling: Romance. Not the edgy, literary “love tales”, no: I would like the fluffy, meet-cute, love at first sight, romcom-trope-filled books. An absolute bonus, for me, is past love, which implies quite a lot of YA books. Fortunately, we’ve these in abundance right here on the Cybils. Possibly it’s what tickles your fancy this lengthy summer season vacation weekend too.
