 Here are some must-reads for romance and wedding lovers!

SISTER OF THE BOLLYWOOD BRIDE BY NANDINI BAJPAI

Mini’s big sister is engaged and is finally getting married, and Mini can’t wait to throw Vinnie the big, beautiful desi wedding she deserves — after all, no one else will since their mom died and their dad is too consumed with work. But as Mini throws herself into the planning (and on a tight timeline, no less!) she finds many roadblocks and distractions, some in the form of the very hot Vir Mirchandani. But when a hurricane threatens to derail the big day, can Mini come up with a solution to save her sister’s wedding?

WE CAN’T KEEP MEETING LIKE THIS BY RACHEL LYNN SOLOMON

Quinn and Tarek have always grown up in each other's orbits, thanks to their parents respective businesses as wedding planners and event caterers. When Quinn sent Tarek an email confessing her love last summer, he went off to college and never responded. And now this summer they keep running in to each other, but Quinn is too humiliated and upset to learn why Tarek rejected her…except their constant run-ins will reveal the truth slowly, and maybe even give them a second chance.

LOVE AND OTHER FOREIGN WORDS BY ERIN MCCAHAN

Josie is smart, but there are a lot of thing that she doesn’t get — casual friends, romantic relationships, and the social circles at her school. Luckily she has her best friend Stu and her big sister Kate, but when Kate announces she’s engaged to a man who’s completely wrong for her, Josie becomes determined to save Kate and break them up. As the weeks count down to the wedding, Josie goes to increasing lengths to prevent Kate’s marriage from happening, which could jeopardize all of the relationships she values the most.

CLASSIC YA BOOKS THAT MADE YOU FEEL SEEN

  K.W. Colyard   Jul 26, 2023 SPEAK   BY LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON I’m sure I’d heard of another book about rape before  Speak  came along. Hell, I might even have read one. But these days? This is the only book I can remember that dealt with one of the myriad possible reactions to sexual assault: silence.  Speak  and other books that deal with similar subject matter have the ability to empower victims of abuse to label what’s happened to them and seek help. ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET  BY JUDY BLUME Once a staple on banned books lists, Judy Blume’s most famous novel has been teaching preteens about puberty — including menstruation and boob exercises — since 1970.  Are You There God?

I don’t remember reading many of the Holocaust books people say they read as kids (Lois Lowry’s  Number the Stars  comes to mind, which is actually about a non-Jewish girl), although we did read  The Diary of Anne Frank  in school. To put it bluntly, we didn’t need to read many of those books at my Jewish day school. The history was in many of our families, with grandparents having numbers on their arms or stories of escape. It was in some of our teachers whose histories we whispered. We studied the Holocaust intensely our 8th grade year. I don’t think it was until after I graduated and went to a public high school that I realized Holocaust kid lit and YA lit was A Thing. Sometimes I cringe when looking at
