I absolutely DEVOURED this delicious, touching, and sassy book! Robert once again showcases her dazzling ability to reweave whatever Greek myth she sets her hand to - this time giving the tale of Eros and Psyche a dark and intriguing treatment. Psyche as a kind, clever, and understatedly fierce woman is a true joy to read, as is Eros as an admittedly dangerous man with a tortured soul.

This “primer on moral philosophy” is hilarious, warm, and best of all, accessible to those of us who don’t know very much about moral philosophy! I especially loved the emphasis on it being ok to make mistakes, as doing so can often feel so demoralizing, especially when you’re trying to learn and grow. Schur clearly put an abundance of time and care into HOW TO BE PERFECT, and his doing so has made it a work that I will read again and again!

“You’ve Got Mail” but instead of ‘meeting’ via an AOL chatroom, the main characters meet via a blind dating app, and instead of the conflict centering around a bookstore, it concerns a champagne shop! This wonderful rom-com is light and fun and magical in the best possible real-life way, and is a super easy read to just sink right into!

HUNT THE STARS is a phenomenally wrought space opera with wonderfully drawn characters, a terrifically paced narrative, well plotted intrigue, and a delicious slow-burn enemies to lovers romance! Within its pages, Mihalik demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is an author to pay attention to, and I can’t wait to read what she writes next!
