Beautiful Disaster is like watching a soap opera with popcorn. Abby and Travis fight, make up, then fight again. It’s messy but weirdly charming—I laughed, cringed, and cheered. Not classic literature, but sure kept me awake at night!
Red White and Royal Blue is a witty, sweet love story with a royal twist. I laughed out loud, rooted for the couple, and even shed a tear or two. It isn’t perfect, but it’s pure fun.
Grant writes like he fought—straightforward and no-nonsense. His stories made me laugh and think. Not every detail is here, but you'll get honesty and grit with every page. History never felt this honest or this fun.
