Assisted Loving: True Tales of Double Dating with My Dad
by Bob Morris
Review by Julia M. Klein
"For [the author] dating is 'nothing but a sport of procure, dodge, and discard.' The only comfort is, 'the worse the date is, the better the story value for later,' a sentiment that rings sadly true. But while Bob half-heartedly endures a series of bad Internet hookups, his father...sails more or less serenely into what Bob calls his 'year of dating dangerously.' "

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
Review by Evelyn Renold
"You just know plucky Juliet will find happiness by book’s end, and she does—but not in the way you might have expected. Indeed, [the book], imaginatively constructed as a series of letters mostly to and from Juliet, is more ambitious than it appears. In addition to charting Juliet’s romantic progress, it describes, in credible detail, the Nazi occupation of Guernsey...and the travails of the locals who lived through it."
