You Between the Lines
Katie Naymon
If you missed the writerly competitiveness of Emily Henry’s Beach Read (January and Gus, come home! We miss you!), Katie Naymon’s delectable debut can get you your fix. Leigh Simon wouldn’t consider herself a grudgeful person, but for William Langford she might make an exception. She’s never forgotten how he completely disregarded her work when they were in high school, but now ten years later she’s made it into an exclusive writing workshop that could change her career. (Take that William!) Except who does Leigh spot sitting in the workshop on the first day other than her rival himself? He’s unavoidable now and getting vulnerable about her work in front of him should feel like a nightmare, but for some reason doesn’t. As a matter of fact, the unexpected pair can’t seem to stop writing (maybe about each other?) and trying to read what’s happening between them and between the lines.

Witch hunter Gideon is stunned that Rune would align herself with such a dangerous enemy, but after all they’ve been through, can he really blame her? When the duo are forced to work together once again, the buried feelings come crawling back, but this second chance at love might end the same way it did the first time: in a devastating double-cross.
