The Here and Now by Ann Brashares
Thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Vine, book critics can sneak-preview ARCs (Advance Review Copies) of novels that are sure to become best sellers. Most novels fail my page-one or chapter-one test, but others are delightful surprises. This is one of them. … Continue reading
