August is always such a great month for new books! I’ve only heard of Kissing Kosher from your list, but several of these other titles look really interesting too. Thanks for sharing this great list Jodie!
I recently read a review on Between Us by Mhairi McFarlane so now I really want to read that. Love the sound of Kissing Kosher – I appreciate seeing characters that have chronic illnesses x
