These are some of my favourite posts to write because I just love looking through my shelves and seeing beautiful covers. I’ve been very fortunate to receive some absolutely stunning ARCs (I’ve mentioned one in this post).
They Hate Each Other by Amanda Woody
I would be lying if I said the cover didn’t influence me to read this book (thank you to the author and publisher for my copy of the book). If you want me to read your book, give it either a pink, purple or blue cover – extra points if you use all three in one cover.
You can’t deny that this cover is gorgeous. I especially love the character designs. I don’t know who did this cover design, but I love it.
Synopsis: Jonah and Dylan get along like oil and water. Until a fake dating ploy gives them new perspective, and they realize that “falling for your enemy” isn’t as impossible as it seems.
There are plenty of words Jonah Collins could use to describe Dylan Ramírez. “Arrogant,” “spoiled,” and “golden boy” to name a few. Likewise, Dylan thinks he has Jonah accurately labeled as an attention-seeking asshat who never shuts his filthy mouth.
Their friends are convinced Jonah’s and Dylan’s disdain for one another is just thinly veiled lust—a rumour that surges like wildfire when the two wake up in one bed after homecoming. Mutually horrified, Dylan and Jonah agree to use the faux pas to their advantage by fake dating. If they can stay convincing long enough to end their “relationship” in a massive staged fight, they can prove their incompatibility to their friends once and for all. But the more time they spend together, the more their plan begins to fall apart—and the closer they come to seeing each other clearly for the first time.
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
Another pink cover, oops. I’m saying that like I didn’t purposefully choose these books because they have the same colour schemes.
This is my favourite Casey McQuiston cover (that I own). It has more detail than Red, White & Royal Blue but I do also like that one (probably coming to one of these posts soon).
Synopsis: For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.
But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train.
Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all.
