With the current nursing school term coming to a c With the current nursing school term coming to a close at the end of August, I’ve not had as much time to squeeze in some ‘just for fun’ reading. I’ve also found myself leaning more into audiobooks at the moment so I can listen to a few chapters before falling asleep. For those of you who get your ebooks via Amazon, you’ll find that you can often get the audiobook at a discounted rate when you purchase the ebook. I highly recommend giving the audiobook clip a listen to decide whether the narrator works for you. Some narrators can make or break a book regardless of plot!

If you’ve read Georgia’s previous novel, The Frien If you’ve read Georgia’s previous novel, The Friendship Fling, you’ll know why she’s been named the ‘British Emily Henry,’ and I’m so excited to share about her most recent novel, The Roommate Rule. The features Ava’s best friend Dylan, who is heading on an unplanned trip to Wales with a man (Ava’s twin brother Max) whom she’s only met once. What I enjoyed most about the book was how Max gently pulls away Dylan’s layers, allowing her to be her true self, and how Dylan, in turn, gives Max the safe space that he needs most. Will they break the roommate rule? Get an inside look at The Roommate Rule with Author Georgia Stone over on theavidpen.com now! #books #georgiastone #newrelease #bookstagram
