A story about the endurance of true friendship. The characters are so vividly drawn I feel like I'd recognize them on the street. Occasionally slow, though the ending is quite satisfying.

This book came onto my radar via NetGalley. I was lucky to receive an ARC for review. Katie Beudert provided excellent southern narration that provided the perfect ambiance for a beauty pageant and murder mystery. I thought this book was a lot of fun. The characters were colorful. This is a good summer read to escape from the real world day-to-day. Read if you’re a fan of Miss Congeniality.

Angelica And The Bear Prince
by Trung Le Nguyen

book cover


This is a lovely book! I was lucky to receive a digital ARC of this graphic novel from NetGalley to review. After loving The Magic Fish, I was eager to read Trung Le Nguyen’s latest, which is set to release in October 2025. The full color illustrations are dreamy, gorgeous feasts for the eyes. After overextending herself, Angelica turns to a place that has captivated her and brought her comfort: the local theater and its upcoming production featuring Per the Bear Prince. This story has a little of everything: family drama and grief, a second chance romance, friendship, and more. While this sophomore book doesn’t feel as deep or impactful as its predecessor, it still gets top marks for me. Young audiences will love it and older readers will appreciate it.

Reviews say "wry and hilarious." Wry, yes. Hilarious, not so much. This is a book about family. What is a family, what does it mean to find one, to be part of one. I enjoyed this book but prefer Wilson's most previous two. I loved the characters but found the story a little slow.
